The so-called pen? The second direction is the direction of the pen tip during transportation. When the groove book is used to carry a pen, the pen front (tip) generally keeps moving in the middle line of stippling, which calligraphers call the center, also known as the front. Because the stroke tip of the central stroke is stippling, the stroke tip contains more ink, and the auxiliary strokes are on both sides of stippling, and the auxiliary strokes contain less ink, which makes the ink in the middle of the stroke deeper and the ink on both sides lighter.

Such stippling is not only calm and mellow, but also full of three-dimensional sense. It is said that the words written by Xu Xuan, a calligrapher in the Southern Tang Dynasty, are reflected in the sun, and a black line formed by thick ink is faintly visible in the center of the stroke, which is the effect of the central stroke. When writing, if the tip of the pen leans to one side of the alum painting, and the belly of the pen is bound to bend to the other side of the stroke, it will form a jagged sawtooth shape, which is called the eccentric pen.

Therefore, novices must keep a pen heart when using a pen. It should be noted that in order to keep the pen tip in the center of stippling, the pen tip must be left when writing horizontal painting and upward when writing vertical painting, and jujube pits will be formed when starting and closing the pen. Therefore, the pen tip must be adjusted through the turning point of pen lifting and pen pressing when starting and closing, and the pen should be reversed when starting and closing.

At the same time, because the center pen point is behind the running direction of the pen, if the pen point is not adjusted at the turning point, the turning pen point will be biased to one side of the stroke. Therefore, it is necessary to turn or fold the pen to adjust the tip of the stroke at the turning point, so that the manuscript after turning the pen can still be in the middle of the stroke, otherwise it will be difficult to be the pen heart.
