What does it mean to write calligraphy and control pens?

Writing calligraphy needs to master the control of the pen, which refers to the calligrapher's skills in using and controlling the pen in the writing process. Calligraphers should improve the control of pens through practice, so as to achieve the effect of standardized and orderly writing fonts. Writing brush is not only the basic skill of calligraphy, but also the key to improve the level of calligraphy.

When writing calligraphy, pen control needs to consider the internal and external control of the pen and the use of the nib. Internal control refers to the calligrapher's fine control of the pen by mastering the pen holder and adjusting the posture of holding the pen. External control refers to the calligrapher's control of pen holding pressure, writing speed and stroke thickness in the process of writing, so that the written font conforms to aesthetic laws. The use of the pen tip is the calligrapher's accurate grasp of the state of the pen tip, which makes the strokes and lines of the works smooth.

In a word, pen control is one of the most basic skills of calligraphers in the writing process. Only the higher the fine control ability of the pen, the higher the calligrapher's creative freedom. Of course, pen control is not a skill that can be easily mastered in a short time, and it requires long-term repeated practice and in-depth understanding. Communication experience is also important. By communicating with other calligraphers, it can provide valuable opportunities for practicing pen control and improving calligraphy level.
