Training requirements: three are the same: the same thickness, the same length and the same spacing. Training purpose: to train the ability of anti-front writing, center writing and back-front writing. This is the most basic line training, and novices must complete it in strict accordance with the requirements.

Learning calligraphy is not only good at writing, but also important to stop writing.

3, line thickness gradient training

Training requirements: Line training is carried out from fine to coarse or from coarse to fine, and the thickness level is a step-by-step process. Training purpose: To understand the difference between one-minute pen, two-minute pen and three-minute pen, accurately control the strength and keep the lines consistent.

4. Line lifting training

Requirements: First train alone, first from pressing to lifting, then from fine to heavy pressing, and finally combine training. There are two forms of combination, one is from fine to coarse and then from coarse to fine, and the other is the combination of multiple lifting and pressing exercises. Training purpose: This is a very important line training method. Fine is to lift the pen, thick is to press the pen, and calligraphy is either to press or lift.

5, pen line training

Turn, that is, turn around, through the above pattern to train the ability to turn the pen, mainly to lift the wrist and properly cooperate with the fingers. Training requirements: the training process should be smooth, without bumping, learn to use twist front, experience accurate pen control feeling, and ensure consistent space division.

6, folding pen line training

Folding is square folding, and the folding pen is square. After cutting the pen, find the power point, then push it with the brush in the center, fold it up and change your face, then move up to the center and repeat this process.

7. Sharp line training

Tip throw training is similar to lift training, but it emphasizes gaining strength and strengthening the sensitivity to the pen tip through combination mode. Training requirements: don't float out, even short strokes should be sent to the end, that is, to the end, and then collect the pen in the air.
