Cross hook is a common Chinese character radical in life. The shape of the cross-folding hook is very special. The upper part is a diagonal line that crosses and bends. It goes down through a straight line below and looks like a hook. In our daily writing, we often use a cross hook, such as the word "sue" in "report".
Many people may not be very skilled in the writing of horizontal folding hooks, and even have some misunderstandings. The following will be described in detail from the aspects of stroke structure and writing essentials.
Stroke structure. Horizontal folding hooks contain two basic strokes: horizontal and folding. Among them, horizontal writing is relatively simple, and straight pen can be used from left to right and from right to left. The writing of folding is complicated, and it takes some practice to master it. The specific writing is as follows:
First of all, according to the ordinary vertical pen writing method, hold a brush or pen and write a vertical line from top to bottom. This vertical line, like the basic vertical strokes of other Chinese characters, is not a horizontal hook stroke; Then, write a small apostrophe from left to right, which is about half the length of the vertical line. Pay attention to writing a certain degree of radian, and then stop writing.
At this point, the pen tip is moved upward to make it slightly suspended, and then a horizontal line is written downward along the direction from left to right, intersecting with the vertical line to form an "L" shape. This horizontal line is the main body of the cross hook.
Writing essentials. Control the pen pressure: the strokes of the cross hook, especially the folded part, need a lot of strength, so when writing, we should appropriately increase the strength of holding the pen, and flexibly adjust the angle and rotation direction of the pen tip according to the change of the line direction, so as to write smooth and natural lines.
Correct and stable use of the pen: In the process of writing the cross hook, ensure that the right hand is completely relaxed and the wrist is placed on the desktop, so as to ensure the correctness and stability of the pen and the quality of the lines.
Training folding strokes: Because the folded part is one of the most difficult parts to write on the horizontal folding hook, it is necessary to practice folding strokes in the process of actively training the horizontal folding hook. You can practice writing this stroke alone first, learn more about its writing characteristics and gradually improve your writing level.
Read more correct glyphs: In order to ensure that the horizontal folding hooks written by yourself are consistent with those of other Chinese characters, it is recommended to read more regular publications and calligraphy books. Learn from other people's experience and combine with practice to gradually improve the standardization of glyphs. (I have to say that due to factors such as the internet, many people's handwriting is far from the standard font. I suggest you pay attention to this.
