In life and study, most people have paid attention to their own writing, especially the process of going to school and working, going through literacy to stroke group sentences, practicing writing to homework examinations, and twisting and twisting to swing freely.
Vaguely remember the often there was a post "*** hard pen calligraphy", although I did not follow the situation to learn, I can see the neat and neat homework after the students practiced writing, but also very envious, until later have some self-awareness, slightly aware of the exquisite but bland sense of uniformity on the paper.

Entering the workplace, there is a key stage for writing, that is, personal signatures. Ordinary employees have fewer opportunities and are not eager to show their personality, and leaders cannot wait to look at it, first of all, they must show the atmosphere, at least than the words around them. Secondly, it is best to let the professionals carefully design it, and secretly practice it in private, so as to reach the height of the dragon flying phoenix dance and the arrogance of the crowd. The most important effect is to make people can't see clearly, learn differently, and dare not copy, which is quite important.
The signature is also a gorgeous outfit, with smooth pens, staggered, mature and wavy signatures, giving people a pleasant and balanced aesthetic. In practical application, it can be of moderate size, clear and easy to understand, avoid dragging mud and water, and excessive exaggeration.

Just happened to see the end of "Think Like an Artist", the author Adela's evaluation of English writing, to understand the rules and characteristics of calligraphy in this unfamiliar field:
Art is the mutual relationship, the various parts of things, each other or with the whole of things to form a beautiful mutual relationship, thus producing the highest standard of art, that is, unity, which is also true for the art of calligraphy. The exact same technique can help you break down the words you write into closely related and rhythmic combinations with each other into harmonious and unified parts of the whole, thus creating beautiful notes. ”
"A slight forward tilt, representing a vigorous and regular forward movement, a backward tilt, representing a cautious and conservative pace, a sharp forward tilt represents a desire or a little recklessness, and the completely vertical handwriting represents a conscious and restrained tendency. The inclination of the line is part of the artistic language, and the line language used in calligraphy has a certain relationship with the formal beauty rules of art, including the basic laws of composition, picture balance, dynamic rhythm and positioning, and calligraphy can express the artist's intentions like art. ”
In the book "Micro Mastery", author Robert Twigger also teaches the introductory skills of writing a good hand: first, hold the pen higher and make full use of the arm; then, elongate the arms and legs of the letters to form its own style.

The computer age has reduced the use of writing, but there are still many people in life who are happy to write and like to see the flowing beauty of pen and ink meandering on the paper. Writing is not only an ordinary life application, but also a window for people to stretch themselves, of course, even the most gorgeous performance is only a window, and it is a heavy or deep inner.
E.H. Gombrich, author of "The Story of Art", expounded his understanding of the contrast between Chinese and Western art in the preface to the Chinese translation:
"It takes years for a European to grasp the mysteries of Chinese calligraphy and to identify the cursive inscriptions seen in Chinese paintings. Discouraged, I dismissed this idea, but my keen interest in the Chinese artistic tradition remained undiminished. ”
"The story of Western art is the story of endless experimentation, the story of the pursuit of unprecedented novelty and originality."
"Chinese art has more time to pursue elegance and subtlety, because the public is less eager to demand unexpected novelty."
From this, the daily writing of different fonts Chinese and foreign languages, when it is the starting form of their respective calligraphy art, under their respective practice rules, swing and stretch, the two or have a mutual blending and borrowing, it is handed over to the experts who wander in between, ordinary such as you and me, find the right place, start the pen end, just to sort out the imprint of interest.
