Interpretation of "Stirrup Method"

Since the Tang Dynasty, the explanations of "the method of pulling stirrup" by calligraphy celebrities in past dynasties are various and ambiguous. Now, I choose the following:

In the Northern Song Dynasty, Dong Ya wrote a postscript to Guang Chuan and a special post by Huai Su: "Wu Rong asked," Why don't you learn from the rain? "Long and save. He asked again, "What about the stirrup method? 〕〕〕〕〕〕〕〕〕〕〕〕〕〕〕〕〕〕〕〕〕〕〕〕〕 12 』〗

In Yuan Dynasty, Chen Yi once wrote "Hanlin Pen End": "When dialing, the pen controls the fingertips of the middle finger and the ring finger, making the circle easy to turn. Stirrup is stirrup, and the pen tube is straight, so the gap between the jaws is as empty as stirrup. It is easy to get in and out when stepping in the stirrup, and it is easy to turn when holding the pen tube lightly. 〗

Yang Shen's Shi Pin in the Ming Dynasty explained the stirrup method: Yu Shaoan's Painting Ancient Wood Poems said that the later master stirrup method covered the cloud of Li Houzhu in the south of the Yangtze River: "The seven words in the book are called stirrup method. Say: drop, bet, hook, uncover, arrive, refuse, guide and send. Ancient stirrup characters. The stirrup and sand painting are all exposed in Yan Yu. Stirring stirrups is like lighting a lamp, it's not urgent or slow. Tie Yangya (Yuan Yang Weizhen) and Gu Yuchuan said in a joint sentence: "When a book is published, the stirrup invades cocoon paper. "... can prove. 〗

In the Ming Dynasty, when Jie Jin [dialed the stirrup below], it was also a powerful method, but Song and Yuan were quite good at it, and its method was double hook and double pick, flat wrist and palm cover, which was actually a virtual fist. 〗

In the Qing Dynasty, Bao's "Double Stirrup Art Boat" said that "Tang Xian's stirrup is like a cloud (if people ride together, the stirrup will not be committed). If they step on the stirrup, their toes will hook inward, their feet will point to the stirrup, and their hamstrings will be reversed. Therefore, they will ride bicycles together and will not commit crimes. This real work is similar. 〗

"An Introduction to Calligraphy" by Luzhen, Zhu Qing said: "Books have the method of stirring stirrups. Stirrup, the ancient word "light", is used to stir the stirrup, and the thumb, forefinger and middle finger get together to pinch the tube. If you hold the lamp and provoke it, that is, the double hook method. 〗

In the Qing Dynasty, Duan Yucai's "Jing Yun Louji Calligraphy Style" said: "The word" dial stirrup "was a lamp word in ancient times. Not a footstool right away. The current tin oil lamp has a round bottom and a handle. Press the top of the tin oil lamp flat on the rush with two fingers and move forward. This is the way to pinch the pen, indicating that the paper is calm. 〗

Zhou Xinglian in Qing Dynasty said in A Glance at Linchi: Stirrup or stirrup is just. In short, the pen must be shallow, shallow and easy to turn. 〗

In the Qing Dynasty, Yang Bin's ancient word "lamp" means that the right army's brushwork must be unique. If the lamp goes out, dial it back. 〗

Outline of Modern Wang Xuezhong Calligraphy: [Respectively, it is "Qi Li with Five Fingers", which is the traditional "stirrup-pulling method". 〗

There are methods in modern calligraphy: "stirrup" and "stirrup". In the old saying, "stirrup" and "lamp" are the same. "Dialing" is a kind of repeated action.

"Stirrup", the pen holder is a horse, the thumb is the left stirrup, and the other four fingers are the right stirrup. At that time, the ancients tied the reins controlling the horse's head to the stirrups of the left and right feet, freeing up both hands to hold weapons, and "dialing" the feet back and forth, left and right, which would definitely make the horse advance and retreat vertically and obey the command.

Stirrup is a lamp, and the pen container is a wick. When the thumb, forefinger and middle finger "dial", the wick also rotates.

No matter what kind of stirrup, its thumb and other four fingers must be twisted back and forth, which will undoubtedly make the pen rotate. 〗

As can be seen from the above examples, calligraphers of past dynasties have many different views on the ancient method of "pulling stirrups" according to their own practical experience, among which there are many insights. However, those who read the text and generate righteousness, and those who talk about speculators, also have both. Right and wrong is a problem that needs to be clarified in the inheritance and development of China's calligraphy art.
