Generally speaking, the nib of the pen used for writing and practicing calligraphy is mostly 0.5. Because this size is a common regular size, the written words will be smoother and neater.
To practice calligraphy well, you must master the structure of the characters and the direction of each stroke. Learning calligraphy is divided into soft pens and hard pens. The soft pen refers to the brush and the hard pen refers to the fountain pen.
Regardless of the calligraphy of any pen, it is mainly about the structure of Chinese characters and the use of the strokes. The use of strokes is mostly hidden front, center forward, side forward, return front and hook front.
If you want to do hard-pen calligraphy, only fountain pens can do it. Pencils can also do it, but ballpoint pens (including water-based pens) cannot do it. Therefore, to learn hard-pen calligraphy well, it is recommended to use fountain pens.
The center of gravity is stable, which means that the words should be written in a straight and balanced manner, and the entire word should be stabilized on the supporting point without losing the center of gravity.
Only a small part of Chinese character shapes are axially symmetrical, while most are asymmetrical. The following methods can be used to achieve a stable center of gravity during writing.
Left-right symmetry
The left and right parts of this type of character are almost identical, folded in half with the bisector as the central axis, and can overlap.
1. Zhongpingshuiweixingchang
The main pen of this type of character is a long vertical or vertical hook in the middle. When writing, the main pen should be placed in the center without any deviation, and the support point should be aligned with the center. .

4. Zhibei*** Gudian
The lower part of this type of character is separated by two feet, and the entire character is supported by its feet. The center of gravity is in the middle of the two points. When writing, the two intersection points should be aligned with the ground. Level, never one high and one low.
5. Wang Pan Ya Dan Dou
