When writing, what should be written horizontally and what should be written vertically?

When writing, the horizontal strokes should be longer; the vertical strokes should be straight and not crooked.

Those with horizontal strokes and strokes should be as long as possible, which means characters with horizontal strokes and shoulder resistance. The middle horizontal strokes should be longer; those with straight strokes should be written with middle vertical strokes, which means characters with vertical strokes running through the center. , the center vertical should be straight and not crooked.

The key point of writing horizontal paintings is to draw the pen with the exposed edge downward to the right. The exposed edge of the hard pen often has a pointed edge, then pause the stroke, and then turn in the opposite direction. After the stroke is drawn, fold downward. It is thinner in the middle, then slightly heavier, and then strokes downward. When the stroke is closed, it is slightly to the left.

Horizontal strokes are the basic strokes in calligraphy, and common horizontal strokes include "short horizontal", "middle horizontal", "long horizontal", "left pointed horizontal", "right pointed horizontal" and "le horizontal". "Ceheng" and so on, and short horizontal is a short horizontal painting, the basic characteristics are "light on the left and heavy on the right, tilting up to the right".

Vertical drawings should be written as vertical, because vertical drawings often play a key supporting role in a character. If the vertical drawing is not vertical, the character will not be straight. There are hanging dew, hanging needle and short vertical.

The writing method of hanging the dew vertically is slightly heavier when the stroke is started, the stroke is lighter when the stroke is vertical and downward, and the stroke is slightly heavier when the stroke is closed. The writing method of "hanging needle vertical" is just to go from heavy to light when closing the pen, with the stroke coming out and closing the pen, and the stroke pointing out the tip. Short vertical is written in the same way as Chui Lu vertical, but the strokes are shorter. Short vertical should be written short, thick and powerful.

The stroke is very decorative in a character. If it can be written naturally and stretched, it will increase the beauty of the word. Sometimes it is symmetrical with the stroke and plays a role in balancing and stabilizing the center of gravity. There are oblique, vertical and short strokes.
