Therefore, the posture of learning calligraphy must be correct, that is, the head is upright, the body is upright, and the hands are upright.

How to practice the basic skills of calligraphy is as follows:

1. Zang Feng and Lu Feng brushwork.

Zang Feng starts with a contrarian trend, and closes with a back front. For example, when writing horizontal painting filial piety, it is not directly written horizontally, but the end of the pen is slightly clever and then moves the pen from left to right. Returning to the front of the pen, that is, when the pen runs to the right, it returns to the left.

Lu Feng is to start with a straight front, and close the pen with a front. Lu Feng can't be too much, otherwise the strokes will not appear thick enough.

2. Square pen and round pen writing techniques.

The square pen refers to the strokes of the writing font, which have edges and corners, such as horizontal folds, in the strokes of the writing font. A round pen refers to a writing font in which the strokes at the beginning, end or turn are slightly semi-arc or round. The font written with a round pen gives people a restrained and subtle style, and the font written with a square pen gives people a strong and powerful feeling.

3. How to write the pen and fold the pen.

Turning the pen is to spin the pen and write rounded strokes; Folding the pen is to turn the pen to the line of the pen and write angular strokes. Under normal circumstances, the process of turning the pen does not stop, and in the process of folding the pen and moving the pen, a certain square finger is folded back or Teton. When the folding pen starts to write horizontal drawing, the pen is often first right to left, and then folded to the right, and then the pen is slightly lifted at the turning point and then the pen is put down again, and then the pen is stopped and closed.

Benefits of practicing calligraphy with a brush:

1. Exercise patience. Practicing calligraphy is a long process, and it takes a long time to hone to write calligraphy well. We also need to be patient in doing things, and we must not rush things, otherwise it may backfire.

When a novice is practicing calligraphy, he or she should start with tracing, followed by improvising, memorizing, and creating. In addition, it is also important to find the correct posture for practice, including sitting, holding the pen, etc. Plan when and how often you want to practice each day, week, or month.

Holding pen posture: five-finger pen method, first use the thumb and middle finger to clamp tightly, the free position in the palm of the hand should be like a cube of about 4 cm, and then use the ring finger and little finger to naturally put behind the brush, the body is straight, and the arm should have a suitable distance from the table.

Tracing does not refer to simply drawing the original handwriting, but to observe the order of the strokes, the weight of the strokes and the correct direction of the strokes, and practice to be able to master the stroke and font structure.

Temporary writing refers to the practice of writing on another piece of paper as exactly as possible with the original calligraphy. Memorized writing is written again according to the image of the original work left in the mental memory after many times of writing.

Here's how to practice calligraphy:

1. The pen barrel is vertical.

The pen is positive, which means that the pen barrel should be basically perpendicular to the paper surface, in order to ensure that the center of the pen, specifically the pen barrel is vertical, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the eight-sided front of the pen point.

2. Refers to the real palm and the void.

Finger solid, use your fingertips to pinch the pen, not use your knuckles to hook the pen. Because the fingertip part is sensitive, it is easy to control subtle changes in the pen edge. The finger pinching pen should be moderately tight. Palm void means that the palm should be empty when holding the pen. The ring finger and little finger should not be held in the palm.

3. Relax naturally.

The pen is naturally relaxed, and the four joints of the fingers, wrists, elbows, and shoulders will be able to operate flexibly, and the writing will be easy and free. For example, if you use chopsticks to eat, if you grasp the chopsticks very tightly, the food in the bowl will inevitably not be able to catch your mouth, and the same is true for holding a pen. If the pen is mainly held by the fingers, then the pen is mainly carried by the wrist.

Finally, there is the question of where to hold the pen. The general principle is: when writing small characters and regular script, the pen part can be downward: when writing large characters or lines, cursive, the pen part can be on the upper side, so that the pen stroke runs a large range, and the penmanship flow is flexible.

4. How to hold the pen.

The ancients attached great importance to the method of holding the pen, believing that "whoever learns calligraphy, first learns to hold the pen". The ancients used many methods to hold the pen, such as twisting the pipe, holding the pipe, pulling the stirrup, three-finger method, five-finger method, etc.
