How to hold a pen

Everyone in the family of good calligraphers and calligraphers has their own habits, and they use whatever grip they feel comfortable with

The three-finger holding method should be used. The specific requirements are:

Hold the pen with your right hand, and hold the lower end of the pen barrel about three centimeters away from the pen tip with your thumb, index finger, and middle finger from three directions. The index finger is slightly forward, the thumb is behind, the middle finger is against the penholder on the inside, and the ring finger and little finger are naturally placed under the middle finger and bent into the palm of the hand. The upper end of the pen holder is inclined against the highest bone of the index finger, and the pen holder and the paper are at about 50 degrees. When holding a pen, the fingers should be firm and the palm should be empty. This means that the fingers should be firm and the palm should be empty, so that the pen can be used flexibly when writing.
