How to use the wrist when writing calligraphy, the correct wrist force and training when writing

Pens, ink, paper, inkstones, and calligraphy were all ready, and then there was the question of how to write on the fly. The first thing I come into contact with in the technique is the problem of holding the pen and posture.

Section 1: Writing Techniques.

Doing anything, as long as you use tools, involves the question of how to get tools.

The brush is a writing tool, and if you want to write well, you must first understand how to hold the pen. Because the correct way to hold the pen has a direct relationship with the quality of the written words.

1. What are the ways to hold a pen?

Since ancient times, there have been a variety of ways to hold the pen (see Figure 1).

Writing calligraphy is like practicing qigong, mainly relying on one's own understanding and feeling, moving the pen like Tai Chi like flowing water, the heart, the mind, the force, it is superior.

The correct wrist force and training skills when writing are as follows:

1. First of all, we pointed out that the grip pen refers to the hard pen, the difference between the hard pen and the soft pen lies in the hardness of the nib, the fountain pen, the signature pen, etc. all belong to the category of hard pen, and the barrel of the hard pen is also relatively thin, so it is appropriate to enclose and hold the child's fingers.

2. The first force point is the wrist, when we hold the pen to write, the wrist must be on the desktop, so the strength of the wrist can control the stroke of the pen to draw long lines.

3. Put the raised bone point where the wrist and the palm meet on the table, as a fulcrum, and when the wrist swings and exerts force, you can draw a smooth line, which is suitable for the practice of long lines.

4. The force point is the finger, we will use the index finger, middle finger, and thumb to clamp the hard pen barrel in the shape of a zigzag, and at the same time the pen barrel is at a certain angle with the paper surface, when writing short strokes, you can use three fingers to control the movement of the pen barrel up and down, so as to complete the force of the short strokes.

Fingers and wrists exert force.

Use the thumb of the right hand, the belly of the index finger and the side of the middle finger to pinch the lower end of the pen barrel from three different directions to form and force the weight. The ring and little fingers are naturally bent, and the wrist is lightly pressed against the table to form a stable "support point". In addition to the way to hold the pen, you should also sit upright, with your eyes one foot away from the paper, your hand pinching the tip of the pen one inch, and your chest one fist away from the desk.

If you want to write well, you can also buy a temporary sticker, and then copy the paste. Personally, I like Tian Yingzhang's calligraphy.

The requirements of holding the pen are all to be real, the palm to be empty, the relative position of the fingers and the palm, the angle is fixed, the key is the wrist force, but the intention is the tip of the pen, to gather the force on the wrist to the fingertips and then to the tip of the pen, you will gather the five fingers together and tight, you will find that the palm is dead, and the wrist is alive.

I've been practicing calligraphy and pen writing for a while, and I'm now practicing English calligraphy, so I'll help you with the answers.

According to my experience, whether you practice brush words or hard pen words, Chinese characters or English, the requirements of holding the pen are to be real, the palm to be virtual, the relative position of the finger and the palm of the hand, the angle is fixed, the key is the wrist force, but the intention is the tip of the pen, to gather the force on the wrist to the fingertips and then to the tip of the pen, you will gather the five fingers together and tighten, you will find that the palm is dead, and the wrist is alive.

With the strength of the waist, the strength of the whole body. Those who don't know how to use force use strength, and those who can use strength.

Wrist. Try to keep it on your wrist.

Elbow writing relies on the coordinated movement of the arm and wrist, and the fingers exert force, and the wrist is also forced.

Whether it is writing or painting, when it comes to using a brush to express, the wrist is naturally the most forceful, and the fingers can only be said to be the most active in the process of writing.

Wrist suspension: Lift the whole arm, the elbow should not be higher than the shoulder, use the strength of the palm and shoulder to move the pen, the range of motion is large, suitable for writing large characters.

The words written with the strength of the wrist are round, full, vigorous and powerful, which meets the requirements of calligraphy. Writing line script, cursive script, official script, and regular script should be done to hang the elbow and the wrist. Writing small letters, as long as the wrist is suspended, the elbow is completely fine.

Although Xiaokai is the wrist and finger force at the same time, it is mainly to give full play to the role of finger force.

Practice wrist strength: Emphasize the center of the pen. A brush is composed of four parts, the barrel, the root, the belly, and the edge.

When writing in the center, the tip of the pen is always in the middle of the stroke, not biased to the top and bottom, nor to the left or right; Learn to move the pen against the front, press the pen, lift the pen, pause the pen, line the pen, turn the front, close the front, and go out. Among them, the reverse front and the back front are to make the strokes hide the front and not show the front, and the other 6 are all to strengthen the change of the strokes.

First, the wrist, elbow including the whole right arm off the desktop hanging, this method can be left and right before and after the swing of the pen, so as to facilitate flexible rotation and the force of the natural delivery to the pen end, so that the word is more vigorous and vivid, the pen force is solid. It is normal for your wrists to tremble and feel tension in your arm muscles when you are a beginner, but as long as you keep practicing, you will feel comfortable using them after a certain stage. Because the hanging wrist writing is extremely beneficial to the exertion of wrist strength and the performance of pen strength.

Second, the wrist is lifted, and the elbow is still resting on the table, this method because the elbow can rest on the table, writing for a long time, the arm is not easy to sore.
