In the process of strokes, the alternation of reverse and straight stroke order, the alternation of light and heavy force, the alternation of fast and slow speed, these alternations form the rhythm of calligraphy.

Vertical, light on the left and heavy on the right; horizontal, light on the long side and heavy on the short side; light on the side and heavy on the bottom; more strokes are light, few strokes are heavy; horizontal is light and vertical is heavy; the strokes inside are light and the strokes in the outer frame are heavy. These changes in weight and weight are the sense of rhythm.
