In ancient times, there were two ways of writing: sitting and writing with five fingers and writing with three fingers. However, in the 1970s, when Shen promoted calligraphy in China, he only promoted the five-finger calligraphy style, and the three-finger calligraphy style was on the verge of extinction. Fortunately, due to the successful practice of Lin Sanzhi and other masters, at present, 70% of calligraphers in China only use five fingers to write, including some famous old calligraphers.
Learning to write with three fingers is decisive for the center to use a pen. At present, the biggest problem in China's calligraphy inheritance is writing. The majority of calligraphy lovers should master two writing methods in time.
