Writing in calligraphy is mainly about how the calligrapher uses the brush.
Writing can be divided into narrow writing method and broad writing method. In a narrow sense, the writing method only refers to the operation of the five fingers or the movement of the wrist together. It is mainly used for writing medium and small characters. It mainly adjusts the posture of the fingers and wrists when holding the pen, and involves very few parts of the body. The generalized writing method refers to the cooperative movements of the entire body system such as fingers, palms, wrists, forearms, elbow joints, upper arms, shoulder joints, etc. To learn to write calligraphy, you must first learn the correct method of holding pen. How to hold a pen correctly is the prerequisite for using the pen correctly and is an important part of writing well. Only when you hold the pen properly can you use it freely when writing. If you hold the pen improperly and develop incorrect habits, it will be difficult to correct and it will not be conducive to writing well.
