The brushwork in starting a pen: Like the method of starting a regular script, there are two brushwork methods, namely, starting a pen with the front and starting a pen against the front, also known as opening a pen with the front and hiding the front. The specific method was already known when learning regular script, so I won't say it here. Different from regular script, running script mostly uses bare front to start writing, which is light and concise, while regular script mostly uses hidden front to start writing, which is more powerful.
The brushwork of closing the pen: the closing of the running script is often exposed, making the strokes more vivid and vivid, and the regular script often echoes, making the strokes subtle and three-dimensional. Among the strokes of starting and putting pen to paper, there are the sayings of Fang Bi and Round Pen. Fang Bi began to write from the front, cut off the side, and wrote a square and angular stippling, giving people a sense of danger; The round pen is a brushwork that starts from the front and turns around the front, giving people an implicit aesthetic feeling.
The brushwork in line pen: center. The center is also called the front, that is, the pen tip is in the middle of the stroke when writing. Centering is the basic brushwork of calligraphy. The strokes written in the center give people a round and implicit feeling. Flank. When writing, the pen tip is on the side of stippling, so it is also called oblique. Wings give people a sense of danger and beauty. Is to stand on the bone and take the posture.
