If you want to write well in hard-pen cursive writing, the key skill in calligraphy is the word "lifting", because with lifting, there will be changes in thickness, rhythm, and changes in square folds and circles. , so whether it is a brush or a hard pen, the key technique of writing is the word "lifting".

Learn the calligraphy master's use of the "lifting and pressing" technique through the calligraphy. Liu Xizai of the Qing Dynasty said: "Any calligraphy needs to be pressed and lifted every time." Dong Qichang also said: "To write calligraphy, you must be able to lift the brush." ​​This shows that in The continuity and necessity of pressing during the writing process. Although hard-pen calligraphy does not have as many changes in strokes as brush calligraphy, such as center, side, twisted edge, etc., hard-pen calligraphy does not have such changes.


Therefore, if you want to make dot paintings full of vitality in hard-pen calligraphy, you must rely on changes in lifting, pressing, speed, and weight during the stroke process. The process of writing is the process of changing techniques, so that the written lines have a sense of rhythm, vitality, and full of spirit and emotion.


So for beginners, they often press but cannot lift the pen. How to do it? That is to learn through writing. On the one hand, you must learn when to lift and when to press; on the other hand, you must learn the ability to control the pen. You must be able to lift the pen when it is time to lift it, and you must be able to press it when it is time to press it. I am going to correct my writing style.


There is no shortcut to learning any technology in any industry. The same is true for learning calligraphy. The quality of a person's calligraphy is closely related to a person's understanding, hard work, and learning. To practice hard-tipped calligraphy well, you need to practice calligraphy for a long time before you can finally write well.
