How to write Chinese calligraphy?

Calligraphy is an art subject, which takes words as the carrier and shows its unique beauty with the help of pen and ink. A person's words can reflect his cultural accomplishment and temperament connotation, as the saying goes, "words are like people." At the same time, calligraphy education is one of the main ways of aesthetic education in schools, which conveys aesthetic feelings in the form of beauty and promotes children's sentiment and cultivation.

There used to be a saying: "The brush handwriting is good, but the hard pen is not bad." Therefore, although China's calligraphy is not often used in daily life, practicing China's calligraphy helps to write hard-pen calligraphy, and at the same time, practicing China's calligraphy can improve children's aesthetic ability and promote their all-round development.

First, how to write calligraphy?

Get ready.

Before learning China's calligraphy, you need to prepare "Four Treasures of the Study", that is, "pen, ink, paper and inkstone".

Holding pen and writing posture

Like a hard pen, the posture of holding the pen is also the key.

Learning to use a brush is like eating with chopsticks. There are no fixed rules for writing with a brush. Generally speaking, there are two methods: single hook and double hook.

The single hook method is similar to the hard pen writing method, which relies on the index finger to move up and down when lifting the pen to facilitate rotation.

The double hook method is also called "five-finger writing". That is, the index finger and middle finger hook inward around the tube, the thumb presses outward (yè, one finger presses), the ring finger presses on the brush, and the little finger is stuck under the ring finger to exert force together, and the five fingers perform their respective duties, which can be simply summarized as "pull, hold, hook, check and press". This method relies on the mutual force of all fingers, which can write solid and powerful strokes and avoid being too smooth and erratic.
