Pay attention to using paper, pen and ink.
I was really drunk when I saw many people writing small print on raw Xuan or semi-cooked Xuan paper. This should be the reason why there is no teacher to guide me. Fortunately, you read this article today.
Write lowercase letters on familiar or ink-free paper. There are a lot of papers in very small letters now, and they are well checked. You can choose the number of checks. You can buy a few to practice first, and it is best to buy more varieties, so that you can have a reference and comparison.

Don't write too high or too tight.
Don't write lowercase letters too high. Generally speaking, it is advisable to be about an inch away from the writing head. Because the words are small, it is easy to go astray if you write too high, and the pen can be steady and firm if you hold it low, and the action is more comfortable.
Besides, the pen should not be too tight. If it is too tight, it will appear stiff when lifting the pen. Of course, it should not be too loose. If it is too loose, it will be weak. We should find a balance between tightness and elasticity, make sure that we can write flexibly and give full play to the strength of our hands.
In addition, it is not suitable for beginners to hang their wrists. The ancients hung their wrists on the floor to write, because there were no high tables like ours at that time. After having a high table, we sat down and wrote in small font. It's not impossible to hang your wrist, but you need deep skill.
03
The structure should not be too straight
Writing small print is taboo to write horizontally, vertically and neatly, so it becomes fine calligraphy or printing, and I have no interest in calligraphy.
Small letters and seal cutting are small and big, and strokes are short and long. It is very difficult to carry out personalized modeling design in such a short stroke.
Su Dongpo said: big characters are difficult to be dense, small characters are difficult to be generous and redundant. Writing small print is afraid of being nervous, but it should be generous and redundant, so as to be pleasing to the eye.

Don't be nervous when writing small print.
Cai Yong said in "Nine Potential": "If you want a book, you should sit still and meditate first, as if you are supreme." Zhu Gekongming also said in the book of exhortation: "Learning must be quiet."
Especially when writing in lowercase letters, you must relax and be calm to avoid making mistakes. Generally, there are many words written in lowercase letters. If you are distracted, it is easy to make mistakes or miss content.
05 from big to small
Lower case also belongs to the category of regular script. Jia Qiang has always stressed that learning regular script should be from small to large. Without the foundation of large characters, you can't learn regular script directly, which is not conducive to grasping the structure and font.
The pen in lower case is crisp and neat, and it can't drag its feet. If you hesitate, the strokes may become bloated.
