This opening ceremony aims to enable the writer to start writing peacefully and steadily, and improve the concentration and quality of writing. Please note that although opening a pen is a common ritual in traditional calligraphy, modern calligraphy creation can be adjusted according to personal preferences and creative habits. Correct writing posture is very important for maintaining good writing habits and hand health.
Common correct writing posture
Correct sitting posture: keep a correct sitting posture, with your back straight and your feet flat on the ground. There should be a proper distance between the desktop and the body, so that the arms and wrists can move freely. Hold the pen: Hold the pen with the right hand. Under normal circumstances, the index finger, middle finger and thumb hold the pen, and the ring finger and little finger touch the desktop to keep balance. The pen holder should be held near the tip of the pen, and the clamping should be moderate, neither too tight nor too loose.
Wrist stability: put your wrist gently on the desk or paper to keep it stable. Avoid excessive bending or elevation of the wrist, which will cause unnecessary pressure on your hands. Paper Angle: Tilt the paper slightly with the body about 30 to 45 degrees to facilitate writing and eye observation. Proper paper angle can reduce the burden on wrists and arms and provide a more comfortable writing experience.
Local movement: when writing, the arm should be the main support point, and the writing should be completed through the coordinated movement of the wrist and fingers. The whole arm should move smoothly on the paper, not just rely on the writhing of the wrist to complete the font. It should be noted that everyone's writing posture may be different. The key is to find a comfortable posture that suits you and keep a relaxed and natural writing state. In addition, regular rest and doing some hand relaxation exercises are also helpful to protect hand health.
