Methods/steps

First, learn how to write basic strokes, such as point, horizontal, vertical, skimming, pressing and lifting. As can be seen from the figure, the pause point is very obvious. This must be remembered. You shouldn't bend straight like a steel wire. Practice several times according to the writing order shown below. Then, practice specific examples and further master the writing essentials of these strokes through specific words.

Horizontal hook, vertical hook and horizontal folding hook are all strokes with hooks. If there is a hook, it must be short, not long, and short and powerful. Please see the demonstration writing: after practice, consolidate it through examples.

Horizontal folding, horizontal skimming, vertical hook and vertical lifting. Among them, the vertical hook is easy to make mistakes and often hangs up before writing the hook. It should be written diagonally on the right. Please look at the writing process of demonstration and example words.

Vertical folding and left folding, these two strokes are easy to write into a shape. Note that although the vertical pen with vertical folding is inclined to the left and down, the angle is not large, while the left pen with left folding is inclined to a greater extent, which means that the left pen cannot write vertically.

Skim it. This stroke has a high error rate. The first mistake is that the pen is often too straight, so it should be slightly bent, and the pen is longer. The second mistake is the missing point, whether it is a long point or the appearance of anti-si. It should be slightly curved and often written too straight. But not too curved.

The following strokes are duplicate strokes. When writing, pay attention to where the pause point of each radical stroke is. You can't take it without pause, you can think of it as a combination of several strokes. Obviously, every junction has to be paused.

Oblique hook, also called hook, should be straight and make a big bend, not a small bend, that is, not too curved.

Arc hook, note that the pen and the pen are on the same vertical line. Moreover, the radian should not be too large.

In horizontal bending and vertical bending, pay attention to folding pens in horizontal bending, and pay attention to vertical pens in vertical bending, and don't turn too round.

Finally, take a pause when you collect the pen.
