Five-finger writing, also known as five-character writing, uses the five-character formula of "easy, pledge, hook, grid and ground" to illustrate the role of five fingers.
(1) "also":
Refers to the function of the thumb. In the "five-character writing", "Yi" means pressing. Use the strength of the phalanx of the thumb to cling to the inside of the pen tube and tilt slightly. When playing a flute, hold the flute hole with your fingers.
(2) Bet:
Also known as pressure, it refers to the role of the index finger in the "five-character writing". There is a sense of bondage and control. Use the first knuckle of the index finger to exert force obliquely and stick it on the outside of the pen tube, which is equivalent to the inside and outside of the big finger, and cooperate with the big finger to restrain the pen tube.
③ Hook:
Refers to the role of the middle finger in the "five-character writing". With the thumb and forefinger restraining the pen tube, the first and second knuckles of the middle finger are bent like hooks to hook the outside of the pen tube.
4 grid:
The function of finger ring finger in five-character writing. This case means blockade. When the ring finger uses nail meat, stick to the pen tube and forcibly block the pen tube inside the middle finger hook. This action is also called "uncovering", which means blocking and pushing out.
⑤ Arrive:
The function of the little finger means to hold in the "five-character writing". The little finger is set off under the ring finger to increase strength and block the hook of the middle finger.
Holding the pen with five fingers makes all the five fingers of the right hand come in handy, and firmly holds the pen with the method of "pressing, pressing, hooking, pushing and touching", so that the fingers can perform their respective duties and do their best to achieve unity of opposites in the pen tube. Five fingers hold the pen, leaving room, so it is easy and natural to hold the pen, and the pen can be flexible. Su Dongpo said: "There is no fixed way to put pen to paper, but it should be open-minded." Although he doesn't have a fixed method here, in fact, "empty and wide" is just a "real palm empty", which is a fixed method. "Practice has proved that the five-finger writing is more reasonable.
There is a formula about five-finger writing:
Hold your thumb and forefinger together,
The center points to the top and hooks into the sky.
The ring finger sticks out,
Little finger helps. Do not rest.
Fingers are empty, hands are real, mouth is open,
Wrist flat, palm straight.
The essentials of five-finger writing are: real finger, palm deficiency, palm vertical, wrist flat and straight tube.
1, referring to reality
That is, the fingers should have the power to hold the pen, the outer four fingers should be close to each other, and the joints should be outward, dense but not loose. Special attention should be paid to make the middle joint of the medial thumb protrude outward, make the tiger's mouth round like a stirrup, and make the five fingers work together, which is not only solid and powerful, but also helpful for writing. Make it elastic and moderate. Too tight, not working properly; It's too loose to work. Only by pointing to reality can we achieve "no weakness, no ink overflow, concentrated attention and stable writing."
2, palm deficiency
That is, when writing, your palm should be empty, your fingers should not be bent, and your ring finger and little finger should not be attached to your palm, as if you were holding an egg in your hand. The gap between thumb and forefinger should be wider. In this way, the pen can be stable and flexible, and it is easy to write bodybuilding.
3, palm vertical
That is, when you write, your palms should stand up. Only when the palm is upright can it be straight, and only when it is straight can it be straight. The front line is regular, full of potential and running freely.
4, wrist flat
It means that the wrist should be parallel to the desktop. Kang Youwei said: "If you want to do your best, you must stand flat on your wrist." . Because the pipe is straight, the front is straight, which is closely related to the wrist movements and applause. The palm is vertical, the wrist is flat, the pipe is straight, and the elbow is hung with a pen, which is both flexible and powerful.
5. Straight pipe
Try to keep the pen tube vertical when writing, so that the strokes are easy to stay in the center. However, in the specific process of pen transportation, the pen tube sometimes has to be tilted. What is important is that it is inclined, it can be straight and its center of gravity is stable.
