What do you mean by "stop, stroke, close and get up" in calligraphy?

"Pen" means to press the pen and then press it again, which means to make it more powerful. In different strokes, strokes are also different. When painting horizontally, the pen will be slightly flat, and when painting vertically, it will be slightly vertical. The correct way to write it is to press it down from the top left, or use the situation in the air to press it again and then gradually pick up the pen.

"Starting a pen", "starting a pen" and "collecting a pen" refer to the whole process of writing a stippling, and writing any stippling has to go through these three stages. The so-called "reverse entry, unsmooth lines and tight closing" is the key to these three pen methods.

"Starting a pen" should be "reversed", that is, starting a pen against the front, thinking right first and then left, and thinking down first. You have to take the pen against the trend in the air, so the pen is particularly powerful.

The "pen" should be "unsmooth", that is, the writer artificially creates a force that hinders the operation of the nib, and at the same time advances with this force.

"Close the pen" should be "close it tightly", that is, wrap the pen back tightly. When writing a vertical painting, the pen reaches the end and the pen tip is retracted upwards; When writing horizontally, write to the right, and at the end, the pen tip should be recycled to the left. Such strokes are subtle, vigorous and powerful.

Extended data:

Calligraphy is a unique traditional art in China. Chinese characters in China were created by working people and began to be recorded by pictures. After thousands of years of development, it has evolved into today's writing, and the generation of calligraphy is because ancestors invented the writing brush.

Throughout the ages, Chinese characters were mainly written with a brush. As for other writing forms, such as hard pen and fingering calligraphy, their writing rules are not completely different from those of brush calligraphy, but they are basically the same.
