Why do many teachers and parents want their children to hold the pen tighter? This mainly comes from a story we heard when we were young. When Wang Xizhi's father taught him to write, he pulled the pen away from the back, but Xiao Wang Xizhi's pen was very powerful and failed every time. Father was satisfied, and Xiao Wang Xizhi became a great calligrapher in the future. However, whether the pen is tight or not is not directly related to whether we can write well. It is also possible that Wang Xizhi felt the power of withdrawal when writing, so he subconsciously focused on his hand and naturally clenched his pen.
In fact, if we exert too much force in the process of writing, it is easy to cause finger fatigue, and it is not conducive to transferring the strength of the arm to the hand during writing.
Is it really better to write more closely?
Qi Gong, a famous calligrapher, once expressed his views on how to write. He thinks that when writing, you should relax and not be nervous. You can't write well if you focus on how to hold the pen. Just like holding the handlebar tightly when riding a bicycle, it is bound to crash easily!
Correct writing points
(1) Finger tightness: Finger should be firmly pressed on the pen tube to hold the pen steadily. (2) Guilty hand: Don't hold the palm too tightly, relax naturally, there is a certain space in the palm, and you can write freely. (3) The back of the hand is round: it describes that when writing, the back of the hand is naturally curved and upright, so it is unnecessary to deliberately.
(4) Upright palm: Upright palm can straighten the pen.
Only the correct writing method can master the key points of wrist manipulation.
1) Wrist pillow: Wrist pillow is used to write on the table, and only the palm is used to hold the pen, so it is suitable for writing small characters because of its small range of activities.
(2) Lift the wrist: put your elbow on the table to write, and the scope will be enlarged, so it is appropriate to write Chinese characters.
(3) Hanging the wrist: Lift the whole arm, the elbow should not be higher than the shoulder, and use the power of the palm and shoulder to lift the pen, which has a wide range of activities and is suitable for writing big characters.
The most important thing in writing is the coordination of heart and hand, and the body and mind are in a state of natural relaxation. If you hold the pen too tightly, it is not conducive to the stretching of the glyph strokes, which is easy to cause muscle fatigue and tension, induce tenosynovitis, thumb and forefinger pain, and affect the learning progress.
Wei Fu, a calligrapher in Wei and Jin Dynasties and Wang Xizhi's teacher, said in "Pen Drawing" that "pen and ink painting, ups and downs, must be made by one's own efforts." It can be seen that writing is not just a matter of skill, but requires cooperation and full effort. And posture is the way to help solve this problem. Let's talk about this position next time
Finally, share a word, the road to success is not crowded, because not many people insist. I hope everyone can write well!
