As Chinese, we should not be unfamiliar with the brush thing, right? However, there have always been many opinions and inconclusive opinions on the method of writing brush characters. The most commonly used method now is the five-finger penmanship method, which is also taught in schools.
But if you see how the ancients wrote, you will be very surprised. Because this ancient method of writing is very different from the modern one. Although we can't see it with our own eyes, we can still understand how the ancients wrote through ancient paintings.
"Northern Qi School Book Map"
Zooming in on the details, we can see a clear drawing of the pen. This way is very different from today's brush writing method, and if you want to say anything, it always feels like smoking a cigarette roll.
《Sending Son Heavenly King Diagram》
This painting was painted by Wu Daozi of the Tang Dynasty, and the details are clear and natural, truly restoring the way of writing at that time. This method of writing has a very professional name: the two-finger single-hook method of writing. This method looks very similar to the signature pen we have now!
Eighteen Bachelors Chart
This is a very famous painting called "Eighteen Bachelors" made in the Song Dynasty, but the original author has no way of knowing who it is. This method of writing is called: three-finger single hook method.
《Yau Ying Festival Map》
The "Picture of the Ying Festival" was written in the Ming Dynasty and is also a good reference material. This method of writing is called: three-finger double hook method.
Portrait of the Qianlong Emperor
This painting was painted by Lang Shining in the Qing Dynasty, and it is more realistic and more believable in detail than previous paintings. This method of writing is called: three-finger single hook method.
The original intention of the pen is to write, as long as the word is written well, hold it smoothly, any way to hold the pen can be, too rigid to the form will ignore the really important things. For example, the ancients did not like left-handed people, and the left hand had left-handed work.
However, left-handed people are not necessarily bad, and in ancient times, there were many famous artists such as Guo Yuanyou, "Shang Zuosheng", and the painter Yang Boxi, all of whom were left-handed. This is like a thin man who can use chopsticks more than a fat man, but not necessarily this thin man knows how to eat and eats more. This chopstick is originally for the purpose of eating, as long as it can achieve the purpose, how to use it is really important?
