These people think that if we put this word on Tian Yingzhang's head, we can criticize Tian Yingzhang from the moral height! But as everyone knows, this just exposes the ugly faces of these people.
First, let's read the front of a pen. The so-called kneeling pen plays the front, that is, pressing the folding pen will pop up the front tip when picking the hook. This kind of writing has existed since ancient times and is called frustration. But now some people call it "kneeling pen" in order to achieve ulterior motives. Just like they don't write on their knees.
In my opinion, as long as it is written with a brush, there is no one who does not kneel! This is determined by the characteristics of the brush! If anyone doesn't kneel, let him write! As long as it is written with a brush, kneel when you write! No one is qualified to insult others with a kneeling pen!
Some people think that picking a hook is skill, and picking two strokes is painting. This is an extremely absurd view! How many pens are used to write a pen has a lot to do with the quality of the pen. A very good pen, with few skills, can pick out beautiful hooks when writing normally. But if the pen is poor, you have to make do with it. Frustration is a common method used by the ancients. In fact, this is the method used by Tian Yingzhang.
I have taught myself calligraphy for more than ten years, but I still can't write beautiful hooks. I used to be very skeptical about life. Later, I met a calligraphy elder. After listening to my confusion, he looked at the pen I used and laughed my head off. He didn't say why, but let me try to buy an expensive brush. I bought a pen for tens of dollars with a puzzled mood. I was dumbfounded the first time I tried. Because I wrote a beautiful hook at once.
Later, the senior told me the method of frustration, and I could write beautiful hooks with ordinary pens. In ancient inscriptions, the turning strokes we completed in one stroke were often changed into two strokes by the ancients. Why? Did the ancients have no ability? Of course not! That's because it's more convenient and more sure to finish it twice than once. I haven't seen any videos posted by people who advocate turning and paddling at one time. I also insist on writing with ordinary pen now, the purpose is to practice brushwork!
This absurd view is completely misleading beginners! Shame! It is even more shameful to insult Tian Yingzhang with a kneeling pen! So, everyone is kneeling, why humiliate the field?
