Why should I draw mosquito-repellent incense when learning calligraphy?

The method of drawing mosquito-repellent incense is mainly to improve the control ability of writing brush, to achieve the unity of heart and hand, hand and pen, so that the writing hand does not shake, and the written lines are smooth and tough, and the quality meets the requirements of the center.

Painting mosquito-repellent incense is a very boring thing. When practicing, you must be patient, hold your breath and do it in one go. You must not shake or exert uneven force during writing, so that the written "mosquito-repellent incense" lines will not be smooth and uneven.

In order to draw a circle of "mosquito-repellent incense", after the brush reaches the limit of the wrist, it is necessary to flip the nib.

There are two technologies:

One is torsion, that is, after the brush reaches the limit point, the wrist remains motionless, and the nib will naturally twist together, and then naturally loosen and return to the original writing state;

The second is to twist the tube, that is, after the brush reaches the limit point, keep the contact surface between the pen tip and the paper unchanged, and twist your fingers with the writing rhythm, so that the pen tip can be naturally adjusted to the other side of the "mosquito coil".

Extended data:

In fact, the brushwork of drawing mosquito-repellent incense only uses one stroke, which is different from the brushwork of "eight sides out" advocated now. Therefore, if calligraphy learners have a certain writing ability as the center, they don't need to draw mosquito-repellent incense, and other training can achieve the same effect.

In addition to drawing mosquito-repellent incense, you can also draw long vertical lines and long horizontal lines, and strengthen brushwork training in order to ensure that the center can write and improve the quality of lines.
