Application of pen technology in center.

Original: use a pen in the center, and you should have certain skills when carrying a pen. Liu Xuzai, a calligrapher in the Qing Dynasty, put forward the viewpoint of "going backwards, not moving smoothly and closing tightly", which highly summarized all the pen skills in writing. That is to say, the middle stroke stage is not smooth when entering the pen, and the back stroke is used when closing the pen at the end of the stroke.

Here are the concepts of anti-front, unsmooth lines and back-front. What I want to say is that the nib has a direction, but I don't know what is forward, what is reverse, and the shape of the pen.

What are the advantages of writing like this? To put it bluntly, it is to make the lines thicker and richer, and at the same time constantly adjust the pen tip during operation.

(It is emphasized here that we are discussing academics, and we cannot use the words "to put it bluntly", because the views here are to be read by more than one billion people and should be solid).

As we all know, the nib is conical. If the reverse is not used, the starting point of the line will become conical, which requires rounding the starting point of the line. In the process of running in the middle, the pen tip can't be a straight line like the trajectory of billiards, but it has tiny left and right sides and swings up and down. The way the pen tip moves forward is not to go forward bravely, but to take three steps, take a step back and swim a circle. (Of course, this tour is very small, and it is felt by the writer's fingers or from the written works. People who watch it may not be able to observe it carefully. ) This effect is what the ancients called "leak marks".

It is completely wrong to explain the "leak mark" mentioned by the ancients with the concept of unsmooth strokes, because the pen no longer presents the original cone shape during operation. In the process of lifting the pen, there is a collar in front of the pen. By pushing the pen to control the collar direction, the "leakage mark" in calligraphy is obtained.

Original: When the pen runs to the end of the line, if the pen is closed naturally, the end of the line will be exposed, and the exposed front is acceptable in straight painting, but it is vulgar in horizontal painting. Therefore, the end of the line must be regarded as a hidden front by retreating the front. The second function before returning to the pen is to adjust the pen. We know that when the pen tip runs to the end of the line, the pen tip has tilted backwards. By going back to the previous process, adjust the nib correctly and prepare for writing the next stroke.

There are some secrets in calligraphy-not all of them should be hidden. The above corrections need to be reported to the Ministry of Education (including the current textbooks).
