The central pen is the core of calligraphy. It is a basic skill of calligraphy training to adjust the pen tip to the center in the stroke movement. Zhao Mengfu said that the pen will never change, what remains unchanged is the way as the center.
The front refers to the pen tip, and the middle means that the pen tip always runs in the middle of the strokes written, and the direction of the pen tip is just opposite to that of the pen holder. The lines written in this way are round, thick, three-dimensional and clean, which is the effect of drawing sand with an awl.
First of all, you should write steadily and quietly. Therefore, for beginners, stippling often happens not in the middle, but on one side of stippling, which tends to be neat and irregular, and stippling often lacks three-dimensional sense.
At this time, it is necessary to adjust it in time, otherwise the lines written will be easy to be flat and thin, and the front will be full of strength and blood. Therefore, the center pen plays an important role in brushwork.
In the process of learning calligraphy, teachers often say that if you want to write well, you must first pass the skill, and only after this pass can you achieve fluency.
This is a long process and needs constant practice. Don't rush, haste makes waste. As long as we carefully study the good pen experience of predecessors and contemporary calligraphers and practice hard, we will certainly be able to master it.
