The correct way to hold a brush. What is the correct way to hold a brush?

1. Thumb: Push the thumb outward from the inside of the pen barrel.

2. Index finger: press inward from the outside of the pen barrel.

3. Middle finger: hook from the outside of the pen barrel to the inside.

4. Ring finger: The nail is blocked from the inside of the pen barrel to the outside.

5. Little finger: against the ring finger and setting off it.

6. In this way, the five fingers evenly surround the three sides of the pen, so that the pen is fixed and the palm of the hand is empty. This is the so-called "five-finger pen holding method". All five fingers of the right hand are used, and the pen is held steadily by the method of "pressing, pressing, hooking, pushing and resisting", so that the fingers can perform their respective duties. When writing, the principle is to point to what is true and to hold what is imaginary. On the outside, it is as solid as a half-opened lotus, but on the inside, it is as empty as an egg. The pen tube is based on the principle of integrity. The force should be moderate, not too tight or too loose.

7. Promote standing writing. The head is upright, the body is straight, the shoulders are flat, and the feet are secure. If the posture is balanced, the written words will not be tilted, and the center of gravity will be stable.

8. Relaxed and natural, it not only makes you feel comfortable, but also makes the viewer feel a kind of "enjoyment".

9. Hang your elbows and wrists, and use your wrists flexibly to adjust the stroke, which will help your expression to be smooth. This is especially reflected in learning running script and cursive script.

10. Place the palm of your left hand flat downward and hold the paper; it also has a stabilizing and balancing effect.

11. The pen barrel should not be too skewed, otherwise it will easily become lopsided.
