First of all, Ou Yangxun thinks that before writing, you should keep your mood stable, let your heart calm down and achieve the unity of body and mind? Doing nothing? State. When writing and writing, we should maintain a high degree of concentration, achieve a creative passion, focus on the font, the whole style and layout, and avoid too many thoughts and thoughts.
The best way to hold a pen is to hang your wrist, your wrist and elbow are in a straight line, and your hand is a hollow fist palm. Here are some suggestions about body posture. When choosing ink, be careful not to grind the ink too lightly, which will hurt your eyes; But not too thick. Too thick ink is sticky, so it is not easy to erase the nib and write hard.
In addition to these tips on body and mind and ink selection, Ou Yangxun thinks that if you want to write calligraphy harmoniously and beautifully, you should also pay attention to the characteristics of each stroke and the proper collocation between strokes. For example, dots should be like stones falling from the sky, full of potential and strength; The constant song pays attention to clear lines, fresh and bright as a new moon; To write a magnificent feeling horizontally, the vertical direction is as tough and resilient as a vine that has withered for thousands of years. The pen should be as short and powerful as the rhinoceros horn, and the length of the pen should be paid attention to when pressing the pen. Vertical writing should be decisive, and it should be folded when it is folded. The pen should be crisp and neat, and the edge should be sharp. Be shocked when you write the fold.
Ou Yangxun believes that in addition to these skills, writing should also pay attention to the unique charm of writing itself.
