1. It is important to write "point" well, because it is an extension of other strokes.
2. The "point" should be full, and the actions such as lifting the pen and pressing the pen should be clearly stated.
3. According to the different positions of sub-points, there are many changes such as right point, left point, vertical point, long point, left point, pick point and flat point.
4. Start the pen to the front and gently enter the pen to the left; Fold the pen down to the right and expand it a little by pressing it; At the end of the point, lift the pen to adjust the nib. Press the pen at the bottom right and go back to the front to collect the pen.
Development of writing brush;
Writing depends on the generation of writing brush. The research shows that the writing brush was produced in the Neolithic Age in China, and people in China have used it for thousands of years. Paintings and patterns on painted pottery should be painted on the embryo with brush strokes. Oracle Bone Inscriptions should also write with a brush first, and then carve with sharp tools.
However, the earliest brush was found in the Chu tomb in the middle of the Warring States period about 2,500 years ago. The earliest tombs where brushes were found were the Chu Tomb of Changtaiguan 1 in Xinyang, Henan Province and the Chu Tomb of Zuojiagongshan in Changsha, Hunan Province. Its unearthed brush is similar to the common brush today, but the pen holder is slender and the nib is 2.5 cm, which is slightly longer than the nib of modern low-profile brush.
Its manufacturing method is to wrap bristles around one end of the pen holder and tie them tightly with silk thread. Changsha pen uses fine rabbit arrow hair, which is equivalent to the purple hair of later generations. It is sharp and elastic, just as Bai Juyi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, described the purple hair nib as a cone and as sharp as a knife. It is precisely because of this kind of brush that we can see that the fonts and strokes on Chu bamboo slips are vigorous and sharp.
