How to Write Brush Characters Properly

Maobenzi is a very important writing art in traditional Chinese culture, and its style has different forms such as Regular Script, Running Script and Cursive Script. Among the brush characters, the Regular Script is the most common form of writing, which is one of the basic forms of writing brush characters and the main form of writing in modern Chinese education.

To write good brush characters in block letters, you need to master the following:

Holding the pen correctly: hold the end of the pen when holding the pen, and don't hold the barrel too tightly or too loosely, so that the touch of the pen can be transmitted to the palm of the hand.

Order of strokes: Regular script requires a smooth and natural order of strokes, from top to bottom, left to right, writing horizontal and vertical lines first, then strokes such as apostrophe and downstroke, and finally outlines.

The strokes are neat and tidy: the strokes of regular characters should be neat and tidy, do not repeat or omit strokes, and the shape of characters should be clear and square.

Strongness of brush strokes: Brush strokes require "point to point", and when writing, you should have a sense of the strength of the brush strokes, and differentiate the strength of different strokes.

Overall, in order to write good brush characters in regular script, you need to practice, master the basic strokes and structures, pay attention to the posture and the order of the strokes, and practice and constantly improve their level.
