Do you need to hold a pen to correct your writing practice?

Some suggestions and opinions of a senior on novice handwriting practice are posted to you, hoping to help you.

About writing. Writing is very important. Some people think that you can take it as long as you can write it well, and this is also the case in principle. But if the writing method is wrong, it will definitely affect your writing. For example, the pen is too tight to make full use of fingers, and it is not easy to write delicate strokes. If it is too tilted, it will affect the line of sight, just like a blind person writing a book or a book that is prone to hunchback.

The following is a general writing method. Simply put, hold the fingertip of the first index finger and the fingertip of the thumb about two or three centimeters away from the pen tip. Friends with small hands can move forward appropriately (never touch two fingers). Then the fingernail of the middle finger covers the intersection of the meat and holds the pen. In this way, a point of the pen is fixed. We know that two points in mathematics determine a straight line, so we must re-determine the position of a point. The position of this point is the upper end where the index finger meets the palm, which is used to support the pen.

Last check. If the pen is written correctly, the angle between the pen tip and the paper should be about 60 to 70 degrees. So it won't block the line of sight. Moreover, the fingers are very flexible, and you can make full use of the thumb and forefinger to move without being sore and tired. The above is writing.

Then say choose a pen. What pen should a novice use? Pen? Pen? Ballpoint pen? A pencil? Opinions vary, but the same thing is that ballpoint pens and fountain pens are not recommended. Because it's too slippery to master. Personally, I think it depends on different situations. Beginners should never use fountain pens and ballpoint pens when learning regular script. First, it is not easy to master. Second, it is not easy for a novice to write a pen. Speaking of calligraphy, you can use fountain pen, because the lines of fountain pen are more natural and lovely than pens. But personally, I think ballpoint pens are absolutely useless. Because the ballpoint pen is neither tied nor easy to master, it is often bad to go into the water. As for pens and pencils, I think they are mainly used in learning regular script. I don't recommend using a pencil. Because the nib of a pencil is constantly changing, it is not advisable to constantly adjust the nib or change the brushwork when you write. So my conclusion is, cursive pen, regular script pen. Of course, it is not absolute. Beginners should try to use pens no matter what style they write, which is more rigorous.

About the morning star grass. Or a specific analysis of the specific situation. If you want to make a small contribution to calligraphy, you should start from regular script and lay a good foundation word by word, and slowly move from regular script to running script, to running script and finally to cursive script. Step by step like this, there will definitely be some achievements. If you just want to write a cursive script that ordinary people admire from a practical point of view, you can start directly from the running script (running script is close to regular script), and then gradually get familiar with the special writing methods of individual words in running script and cursive script. The advantage of this is that it can produce results in a short time, but if you want to achieve high results, you have to work harder on regular script.

About post selection. Choose the present or the ancients? As an introduction to Dharma, it is best to start with the ancients, such as Jing, Zhao's page (this is a word, say it three times, please forgive me if you can't type it out), and Huang Tingjing and so on. It's almost time to wait, and then turn to today's people for reference. The so-called expert is knowledgeable and versatile. By the way, today's people will practice directly for two days (Tian Yingzhang, Zhang Yun), but I haven't seen any other copybooks with good handwriting. Of course, my words may be too extreme. You can also choose from your hobbies. As the saying goes, radish and cabbage have their own love.

Let's talk about Lin Tie again. The principle of attachment is specialization. This has two exclusive meanings. One is to specialize in commonly used words and words with few strokes. Only one, just that one, hundreds of thousands, until they are alike or even overlap. Don't be greedy, you didn't write anything in the end. The second meaning is concentration, and you must not be half-hearted and repeat mistakes mechanically. After writing an original post, pay attention to what is wrong and try to correct it next time. The above are the principled issues that need to be paid attention to in the post.

You'd better recite your post. Read it several times, and finally the shape of the word appears in your mind, then write, compare, correct and read it again, and so on, until you remember the word correctly and take away the post, you can still write the same font as the original post, thus achieving the purpose of posting.

Finally, talk about practicality. Some people may practice calligraphy very well, but when it comes to actual writing, they often fail to meet the requirements. There are two main reasons for this. First, regular script is used in practice, and cursive script is mostly used in actual use. In this case, the training of running script should be appropriately added. Remember a word, to some extent, running script is a quick writing of regular script. Beginners must take their time when learning running script. You can't learn while jumping. The second is lack of experience. In this case, slow down, gradually skillfully use what you have learned, and change from subconscious to unconscious. When this process is completed, you have basically completed a stage of practice and basically achieved something.
