When writing large characters, not only do the arms have to be suspended, but also the person has to stand up to write. At this time, the palm of the hand holding the pen should also be gently relaxed, and the back of the hand and the arm should be in a plane, parallel to the tabletop. The ancients called it "flat-covering style". At this time, the wrist is completely let go and can move left and right up and down freely and flexibly. When writing large characters, it is completed by combining elbow movement and wrist movement. With the exception of small regular script, we do not agree to purely use finger movements to write calligraphy. Some people practice writing Chinese regular script with their elbows hanging. Although their arms and wrists are suspended, they are still in a static and rigid state. They still use their fingers to complete writing, and the pen barrel tilts seriously. This loses the meaning of hanging elbows. When hanging elbows, you should move your fingers as little as possible, and focus on wrist and elbow movements. It is worth mentioning that the penholder does not always have to be perpendicular to the paper. During the writing process, the penholder can tilt slightly naturally, but the amplitude should be small. Generally, the penholder should always remain vertical when writing regular script.
