Hanging your elbow to write is very domineering, and you can only write by your wrist. People who have this idea of "inferiority" should have it. Today, "Calligraphy of People Not Far from the Road" will tell you how to treat posture when practicing calligraphy. Go to Yan first, a style from a friend.

My point of view is clear. Beginners learn calligraphy, and the posture of practicing calligraphy begins with the pillow wrist, and then gradually master the hanging wrist and elbow. As for whether to use the pillow wrist or elbow at ordinary times, you can decide according to your own preferences, so don't worry. I say a few points to support the reasons for starting practicing from the pillow wrist:

1. Pen control range of pillow wrist

Beginners of calligraphy basically start with regular script and practice the same copybook for a long time (and the size of the words should be about 5~6 cm). If you insist on hanging your elbows and wrists, it is uncomfortable and awkward to write such small words. Writing with the pillow wrist, there is basically no problem with the pen control range.

But frankly, the occipital wrist may be a little limited. Take an extreme example, such as writing the word "Wu" with Gogo. Because Gogo is long, children's wrists may be a little out of reach. At this time, they need to exercise their wrists properly to write well. It is easy to master the flexibility of using a pen by moving your wrist or relying on the elasticity of your skin.

2. How easy it is to control the pen on the pillow wrist.

Using the pillow wrist is of course the simplest. Beginners of calligraphy are like babies who have just learned to walk. During this period of learning to walk, people on both sides are holding on, and naturally they walk steadily. Therefore, writing with the pillow wrist is the most "stable" and "stable" to write high-quality strokes and lines. Only "stability" can let us beginners taste the joy of progress, and "stability" can let us beginners have more experience and progress. Beginners are asked to drop their elbows and wrists from the beginning. I think the tutor is suspicious and easy to mislead others.

I remember when I first started writing, my hands shook for almost a month, even when I was resting on my wrist. The picture below shows Tian Yingzhang's teaching video, while tian teacher actually uses a pillow wrist.

3. Some people worry that long-term pillow and wrist will develop "bad" writing habits.

First of all, it needs to be clarified that the so-called "bad habit" itself is a false proposition, but it is estimated that this is also one of the crux of many people's entanglement. I don't think there is anything to worry about. By the way, I am a table tennis fan. I played 10 for many years, and only changed to a "horizontal shot" for a few days. Switching is quite easy. Just like some people speak now, Mandarin and dialects can be switched at will in one sentence.

In fact, when you practice for a period of time and your wrist is flexible, the chances of writing bigger words will naturally increase. At this time, you can gradually hang your wrists and elbows. Anyone who has a certain foundation in calligraphy knows that after several years of writing, arms and wrists are powerful. At this time, whether you hang your wrist or elbow, you can easily do it.

Of course, if you are still worried that you can't "hang your wrist" in the future, you can "deliberately" empty your wrist (raise your arm a little) in practice. At this time, although it is still a pillow wrist, the effect of the words written is still good.

In addition, in order to make my article more convincing, I specially searched for photos written by Mr. Qi Gong from Baidu pictures. I found that most cases of Qigong writing are pillows and wrists. Take Mr. Qi as an example, why are we still struggling?

In addition, due to the height of furniture, writing on pillows and wrists is also a last resort.

Now, whether it is office furniture or home desk, the height is 75~80 cm (the standard is 75 cm). At this height, it is very tired for an adult to write standing up. I chatted with a friend some time ago. He said that one of his elders stood and practiced for eight years, and actually got lumbar spondylosis. Good health care actually got "occupational disease". Therefore, it is more reasonable for me to sit on my pillow and write small and Chinese characters.

There were many hanging elbows in ancient times. It is said that the ancient table was lower than it is now, only about 60 cm high. It is probably more comfortable to hang your elbow at this time. Therefore, in modern times, the rules left by the ancients should also be adjusted according to the actual situation in order to keep pace with the times.

To paraphrase the title of a book by Luo Zhenyu (Luo Pang), those who achieve great things do not struggle. Writing posture, don't struggle, don't struggle.
