When practicing calligraphy, why should you stand and write? What are the benefits?

Reason: Standing will make the vision farther away from the paper, which makes it easier to control the layout of the text, giving you the feeling of seeing everything at a glance. When you are sitting, you are not sure about the size of the entire paper, and often the position of writing is not optimal. It’s just that the rules won’t be perfect. When sitting, the arc and extension space of the arms will be limited, but calligraphy is free and easy. Each stroke, stroke, ups and downs require room for movement.

Benefits: When writing large characters or creating works, the standing posture has an overall grasp of the composition of the entire work. You can feel more relaxed when writing calligraphy while standing, and the calligraphy results will be more beautiful and perfect.

Of course, if you require more stability when writing small characters, you can choose to write while sitting. Also, when you first start learning, it is still recommended to sit down. This will provide greater stability and more precise brushwork.
