1. Too much "lifting" will cause the work to "float" and too much "pressing" will cause the work to "fall". A work that does not "mention" or "press" is either rigid or dull.
2. If we don't pay attention to the subtle changes of strokes such as "lifting pressure" and "turning point", the line quality of calligraphy works will not pass the mark and the aesthetic requirements will not be met.
3. Line is the most vivid and unique artistic language in calligraphy creation, that is, the varied lines produced by the actions of lifting and pressing in the pen. Mention is like "details" in literary works. With these "details", the work is interesting and the work will naturally be vivid and touching. On the contrary, the works are fake, empty and ugly, especially the calligraphy works.
4. A good work should have a reasonable and perfect artistic character of lifting pressure, starting with the details of brush strokes, strictly following the aesthetic needs of lifting pressure, making the finishing point and enhancing the aesthetic effect with a small lifting pressure; These aesthetic elements are directly realized through the lifting and pressing skills when writing with a brush. 5. Without the participation of lifting and pressing, the lines of calligraphy will be straight and hard, and the quality of the lines will be poor, even failing to meet the minimum requirements of calligraphy art.. Calligraphers should maximize the use of "lifting and pressing" techniques, and finally achieve the goal of lifting and pressing the pen, which is also required by the basic techniques of works creation.
7. Lifting and pressing are complementary and unified. It is wrong to emphasize lifting or pressing unilaterally in calligraphy creation. 8. It seems simple to say, but the actual operation is very difficult.
9. Ignoring the change of the thickness of raised lines will give the work an immature feeling. It can be said that lifting pressure is the most basic requirement for the success of calligraphy works.
10, Liu Xizai once emphasized that "all books should be written with a pen, and pressed with a pen. Arguments should be put forward especially at the beginning of the pen, especially at the end of the pen. The word "press" is used by calligraphers, consistent but not separated. Therefore, when you are heavy, you should lift the pen, and when you are light, you should press the pen to avoid dropping the pen and floating it. "
1 1. In calligraphy techniques, "lifting pressure and turning" is the most basic and important brushwork. It can be said that if you don't know how to lift and press, you will not be able to achieve a real calligraphy work.
12. Lifting pressure is very important. As long as it is used reasonably and correctly, it can bring rich line thickness changes to your aesthetic senses and produce three-dimensional aesthetic feeling, while the lack of lifting pressure will give you a feeling of boredom.
