When practicing hard-tipped calligraphy for the first time, you should pay attention to the following points:
1. Correct posture: sit up straight, put your feet flat on the ground, and relax your arms naturally on the desktop. Keep your head and neck straight and do not lower or raise your head.
2. Hold the pen correctly: Hold the pen between your middle finger, index finger and thumb, gently hold the pen barrel with your thumb and index finger, and support the pen barrel with your middle finger. Hold the pen with ease and do not use excessive force.
3. Writing posture: Use the strength of the wrist and arm to control the thickness and weight of the strokes, rather than the strength of the fingers. Keep your wrist steady without shaking or twisting.
4. Stroke order: Write in the correct stroke order, horizontal first then vertical, first up then down, first left then right. This keeps the fonts neat and beautiful.
5. Word spacing and line spacing: Keep the spacing between words equal and the spacing between lines appropriate. Don't be too crowded or too sparse.
6. Pen strength: Beginners should write with lighter strength and gradually increase the strength. Do not write with too much force, so as not to affect the beauty of the font.
7. Practice common characters: Beginners can start practicing with commonly used Chinese characters, such as "一", "二", "三", etc. After mastering common words, you can gradually expand to other words.
8. Keep practicing: Calligraphy requires long-term practice and accumulation. Beginners should insist on practicing for a period of time every day to continuously improve their writing skills.
