The pen holder is straight, that is to say, the pen holder should be basically vertical to the paper, so as to ensure the central stroke, specifically, the pen holder is vertical, which is convenient for adjusting the direction of the eight-sided pen tip. It is worth pointing out that in the process of writing a pen, with the swing of the wrist, the pen holder will fall in the direction indicated by the strokes, such as leaning to the left when writing a horizontal picture and leaning forward when writing a vertical picture. This is completely reasonable, but it is not allowed to make the pen holder fall in the direction of stroke, nor to form an inclined plane on both sides of the stroke.
(b) refers to excessive palms.
Point to reality, pinch the pen with your fingertips, and don't tick the pen with your knuckles. Because the fingertips are sensitive, it is easy to control the subtle changes of the nib. Pinch the pen moderately with your fingers. Generally speaking, the smaller the writing, the tighter the pen and the looser the big characters. The posture of holding the pen is more important, but the posture of the book can be more relaxed.
Palm deficiency means that the palm should be empty when writing. Don't hold the ring finger and the little finger in your palm. The ancients said that deficiency can accommodate eggs. In other words, there should be an egg-sized space in the palm to facilitate the flexible movement of fingers and joints.
(3) Relax naturally
When writing, you will naturally relax, and your fingers, wrists, elbows and shoulders can operate flexibly, so writing will be easy. For example, if you hold chopsticks tightly while eating, the food in the bowl will not be caught in your mouth, and so will writing.
The most common method is five-character writing. Contemporary textbooks based on calligraphy all agree that this method is the correct writing method. Contemporary calligrapher Shen attaches great importance to five-character calligraphy. In On Calligraphy, he said: Calligraphers have always had different opinions on writing methods, and I only admit that one of them is correct because it is reasonable, that is, the five-character writing method of "Yi, Toutou, Hook, Ge and Di" handed down by two kings in the Tang Dynasty and elaborated by Lu Xisheng. Whether Mr. Shen's point of view is somewhat absolute, let's leave it for the time being. However, we can see that the influence of five-character writing is extensive and huge.
Let's briefly explain the meanings of "one", "pledge", "hook", "case" and "ground" to help you understand the characteristics of this writing.
"Finger pressing" refers to pressing the pen tube on the left side of the pen tube with the front end of the thumb.
Press down means to exert force from top to bottom, which means that the first section of the index finger holds the pen tube from top to bottom on the right side of the pen tube.
Hook, meaning hook, means that the middle finger is bent into a hook and hooked in front of the pen tube with the front end of the first finger pulp.
Plaid means resistance, which means that the ring finger pushes the pen tube from the back to the front with the joints of nails and meat.
Stretching, pushing and resisting means that the little finger is close to the ring finger to help it push the pen forward.
The five-character writing method is to summarize the functions of the five fingers with the words "one", "pledge", "hook", "case" and "ground". It emphasizes that the five fingers perform their duties, cooperate with each other, write smoothly, and make the pen move flexibly up and down, left and right. When using the five-character writing method, pay attention to the middle and upper part of the first section of the finger, and the palm is naturally empty, which can meet the requirements of solid palm virtual writing. So we think beginners can choose this writing method.
In fact, there is no need to stick to the above five-character form. I think the four-character brushwork of holding the top with a pinch hook is more popular and easier for beginners to accept. Here is a brief introduction for your reference.
Pinch, thumb and forefinger pinch the middle of the pen, and you can rotate the pen tube freely.
Hook, use the front end of the first knuckle of the middle finger to hook the pen tube from outside to inside.
The top refers to the place where the ring finger is connected with the nail, which is used to hold the pen tube from back to front.
Help, the little finger is close to the ring finger, hold the ring finger forward against the pen tube.
