The left hand movement is not a simple mirror image of the right hand movement, and systematic training is helpful to improve the skills. However, there are few books about left-handed skill training. Here are some basic knowledge of the most commonly used left-handed skill training.
However, with correct introduction and proper training, you can also practice your excellent left hand.
Left-handed writing
Left-handed writing is suitable for people who are seriously left-handed, write badly, and even write with their right hands; Some people have to write with their left hand because their right hand is damaged for some reason; Old people and some people who consciously practice left-handed calligraphy and exercise their left limbs to keep fit.
With the society becoming more and more open and respecting people's personality, some people choose to write with their left hand. This group has reached a considerable proportion in the west, and it may become more and more in China.
There are many differences between left-handed writing and right-handed writing. Left-handed calligraphy only changes the hand holding the pen, and the starting order and paragraph arrangement of words must also follow the general rules. The structure and stroke order of Chinese characters are designed based on the convenience of the right hand, so writing with the left hand requires some special skills.
The most difficult thing is being right-handed, because for some reason you have to write with your left hand. For lefties, the right hand is not the dominant hand, but it is often the hand that has to be used frequently. For right-handers, writing with the left hand is to complete a new task with almost no hands, which is naturally more difficult.
Old people learn to write with their left hand in order to cultivate their own self-cultivation, which often has unexpected effects. You can not only practice Zuo Shu, but also practice anti-calligraphy (orthography from the back of the paper). Although there is not much pressure, it still takes a lot of effort to write the words well.
Writing with left hand brush
The posture of writing with a brush in the left hand is basically the same as that of writing with a brush in the right hand. Writing often uses "five fingers holding the pen", and all five fingers of the left hand come in handy. Hold the pen steadily by the method of "pressing, pressing, hooking, pushing and reaching", so that the fingers can perform their duties.
The specific method of holding the pen is: the inside of the first book of the thumb presses the side of the pen holder, and the thumb is in a slightly horizontal lateral state. Press the pen from the outside to the inside at the first or second joint of the index finger. The middle finger is next to the index finger and hooks the pen.
The ring finger is close to the middle finger, and the root of the first nail is close to the pen to resist the pressing force of the index finger and the middle finger. Press the little finger under the inside of the ring finger to help. In this way, the strength of the five fingers evenly surrounds the three sides of the pen, making the pen fixed and the palm empty.
Wrist pillow method is often used to write small characters, and the pen and wrist are placed on the desktop or on the back of the right hand to write. To write bigger words, you have to write by hanging your wrist or elbow. At this time, the range of motion of the hand is not limited, and it can be waved freely.
Sitting posture is the main way to write calligraphy. First, you don't have to stand and practice two or three inches of capital letters, just sit and write. Second, sitting is labor-saving, which is conducive to concentration and easy to concentrate. The correct sitting posture should be "head straight, body straight, arms open, feet stable".
The head is straight, that is to say, when writing, the head should be straight and not sideways. Straight means standing upright, sitting straight, shoulder level. Of course, to stand up straight is not to hold your head high, but to relax your shoulders, sink naturally, lean forward slightly, keep your chest at a distance of more than one punch from the desktop, avoid hunching over, and even put your chin on your right hand.
Open arms means that the arms should be extended forward, and the elbows of the two arms should also be extended left and right, and the two sides are basically symmetrical. Foot safety means that the feet naturally land smoothly, the legs are differentiated from left to right, the position is basically shoulder width, and the muscles are relaxed.
The left hand holds the pen, and the angle formed by the pen holder and the paper is the same as the direction and angle of the right hand holding the pen when writing. For the author, the pen is in front of the author, and the pen holder is 15- 20 degrees to the right. This angle is critical, and it is difficult to write a good hand if you don't master it well.
Why tilt this angle? Because according to the structure and stroke order of Chinese characters, the pen starts from the upper left and goes from left to right from top to bottom. Keep the pen holder slightly forward in the direction of pen transportation, with smooth pen transportation and writing.
When writing with the left hand, the pen holder tends to tilt to the left unconsciously, which is in line with the natural habit of holding the pen. However, when the brush runs in the opposite direction, it will tilt upward and cannot write good words. If the pen is completely perpendicular to the paper, it is not easy to show the brush strokes, so we should master this angle.
Chinese character strokes sometimes go from the upper right to the lower left. This angle should naturally be inclined along the stroke, and the pen holder should be kept forward along the stroke direction 15-20 degrees.
Paper placement
When writing with the left hand, it is easier to write if the position of the paper is inclined at a certain angle. At this time, it is more appropriate to tilt the paper at 45 degrees to the right, but everyone's habits are different, and it is no problem to change the angle slightly.
Why is it easier to practice writing with your left hand when the paper is placed horizontally? This also applies to the structure, stroke order and arrangement of Chinese characters. Each character of Chinese characters is arranged from left to right, and each line is arranged from top to bottom. The paper is tilted at this angle, and the left hand slightly blocks the line of sight, which makes the writer's vision wider and the pen smoother.
If you put the paper at right angles to the edge of the table, you have to hold the paper in your right hand and write at the same time, and the hair of the brush will easily become messy. If you write with thin paper such as white paper, the paper will sometimes be deformed. In fact, when people write with their right hands, they often unconsciously tilt the paper to the left at a small angle, usually below 20 degrees.
Left-handed pen writing
A pen is different from a brush because it has a hard and smooth head instead of a soft nib. When holding the pen, the pen is basically perpendicular to the paper and slightly inclined at an angle. When holding the pen, the pen holder faces the forearm. The angle between the pen and the paper varies from person to person. Some people hold the pen at an angle of less than 45 degrees, while others are close to 90 degrees.
Everyone writes with a pen. Over time, the tip of the pen will grind out a certain oblique angle, so it is always most convenient for everyone to use their own pen. At present, there is a special left-handed pen for sale, which is suitable for left-handed use by grinding the nib into a certain angle in advance.
The sitting posture of writing with a pen in the left hand is sitting at the desk, with the body straight and leaning forward slightly, and sitting on the right side, leaving more space for the left side. The way to hold the pen is to hold the pen with your thumb, forefinger and middle finger, 2-3 cm away from the pen tip, which is slightly farther than when holding the pen with your right hand. Because writing with a pen in your left hand still goes from left to right, the place where you hold the pen is farther from the nib, and the line of sight is less blocked by your left hand.
The pen holder is in the direction of the forearm. The left forearm forms a 45-degree angle with the edge of the table. Put your right hand on the table, keep your left hand balanced, and gently press the paper. Hands under the words, don't block the words.
The writing paper should also be placed diagonally. When writing with a pen, the distance between the handle and the nib is closer than when writing with a brush, and the left hand blocks the line of sight more seriously. Placing the paper obliquely at 45 degrees to the right can effectively solve this problem. Everyone has his own angle of adaptation, and we can find a suitable angle through practice. Some people lean 30 degrees, and some people almost let the paper lie down.
When writing vertically, it is also appropriate to put the paper sideways. If you master these methods and practice hard, you won't be able to write good words.
Left-handed keyboard and right-handed mouse operation
Time is money and efficiency is wealth. In the highly competitive information age, enterprises and individuals are constantly pursuing high efficiency, but the pursuit of efficiency is a cumulative process. Only by comprehensively improving all aspects can we grasp the advantages of efficiency.
Keyboards, which are essential for office work, also have potential to be tapped. The emergence of the left-handed oblique keyboard tells you that this is the best combination of efficiency and health.
As we know, the numeric keypad is generally located on the right side of the traditional keyboard, and most people naturally operate it with their right hands, which naturally conflicts with using the mouse with their right hands at the same time.
Not only is the left hand idle, but when the right hand switches repeatedly, it will not only cause fatigue, but also make people feel annoyed, an unreasonable design (for people who hold the mouse in the right hand).
The characteristic of the left-hand keyboard is that the small keyboard is set on the left, which has the opposite effect: you can concentrate on operating the mouse while liberating your right hand, and you can also make your left hand fully energetic, thus developing the right brain, enhancing coordination and making the operation easier. How can such a perfect "left and right bow opening" work inefficiently?
It is really a last resort to sacrifice health for work efficiency. In that case, why not try to reduce the harm to health while working?
The design of the left-handed keyboard project is completely based on ergonomic principles. On the premise of the same key position, the key cap is transformed into a diamond shape, so that after fingers touch the keyboard, the wrist will remain in a natural and comfortable state, and it is easier to knock on the keyboard, reducing fatigue and rs.
Of course, you need to adapt to the left-handed operation and oblique keys, which are two innovative features different from the standard keyboard, but if you are willing to give yourself the opportunity to experience new things in turn, I want to ask: is it not easy for you to adapt to the keyboard operation?
Left-handed keyboard and right-handed mouse have gradually become the standard way for gamers and become the best partner in the office.
