It can be distinguished by touching the hand index of the pen holder, such as "two fingers", "three fingers", "four fingers" and "five fingers". At the same time, we can see whether the ring finger and the little finger are suspended, and there are single hooks and double hooks, such as "two-finger single hook", which can be described as endless changes.
On the basis of collecting a large number of images, Zhuang, the head of the project of "Study on the Characters of Past Dynasties in China" and former director of the Institute of Ancient Art of Nanjing Museum, analyzed the characteristics of the characters of past dynasties, and found that people in different periods in China held pens differently.
For example, in Han Li, which is famous for its vigorous and square shape, when people wrote this font in Han Dynasty, the way of holding the pen was quite "thick line"-the pen head was down, and the whole hand held the pen like a fist, which was called "holding the tube".
Five-finger pen-lifting method is the most commonly used method, but if we see how the ancients wrote it, we may be surprised, because the ancient pen-lifting method is very different from the modern one. Through ancient paintings, we can intuitively and clearly see how the ancients wrote.
