What is the main pen in calligraphy?

The main strokes in calligraphy are the theme strokes in words, that is, the most prominent and eye-catching strokes. A word has a theme stroke, and other strokes are subordinate strokes (that is, secondary strokes). The second one is to make way for the main pen, so we can only see the clouds and highlight the main pen. It is not allowed to occupy space and space, so you should restrain shrinkage when writing the second pen.

On the contrary, the main pen in the word has to be stretched out to make a gesture, so the main pen takes up a lot of space. This is the rule that the main pen takes precedence. When the main pen in a word is highlighted, the whole interior of the word will have primary and secondary, collar, rhythm and aesthetic feeling, which will also stabilize the center of gravity.

Extended data

The main pen may be one or two strokes, or it may be the main part.

For example, in the word "Spring" in spring, its main stroke is apostrophe, because when writing this word, apostrophe extends outward, only stretching apostrophe or drawing, and this word is not good-looking.

In fact, generally speaking, when the left and right strokes are dominant, the other parts of the word should be tightened and converged.

Some words are not a word, but a part of a word, and their main strokes are not composed of a stroke, but a main part. This kind of word is more common in left and right structures.
