Introduction to Calligraphy Skills Summary of Learning Calligraphy Skills

1. Spare tools: plain white paper, pen, ballpoint pen, blue-black or carbon ink, etc.

2. Pen-holding method: three fingers hold the pen, thumb and forefinger hold the pen, middle finger rests on the bottom of the pen, mainly thumb, forefinger and middle finger hold the pen, ring finger and little finger gently rest on the bottom of the middle finger, the place where three fingers hold the pen is about 1 inch away from the pen tip, and the pen is about 45 degrees away from the paper;

3, writing posture: sitting posture, head straight, body straight, arms open, feet safe.

4. "Reading" means reading posts. What should I read? The way to read words with a pen, the way to knot words, the perception and overall composition, etc. When reading a post, we should grasp the image characteristics of the post's characteristic words. Form a certain impression in your mind. I often read posts, and I often take them out when I have nothing to do.

5. "Back" means back. After a period of temporary writing, the words we learned to write will have some memories in our minds. We should try to stop reading the copybook and learn the beautiful words by heart. If there is a certain difficulty at first, it means that the kung fu of reciting the post is not at home, so we should continue to spend our time on serious writing until we can recite it. Success is not far away unless you can face it.

6. "Meaning" refers to the process of re-creation. When you can face it, you should integrate your thoughts, understanding, interests and personality cultivation into the book, re-create, and finally go your own way to form your own calligraphy style, otherwise it looks like someone else's things, which the ancients called "book slaves."
