Writing beautiful characters with a brush pen is an important part of Chinese culture. Many students learn calligraphy to improve their handwriting and develop patience. 46 Here are some useful tips that can help you.
First, you need to prepare your tools properly. Make sure you have a good brush pen, ink and paper. 47 The brush should be the right size for your hand, and the paper should be thick enough so the ink won’t spread too much.
Next, pay attention to how you sit and hold the brush. Sit up straight with both feet on the floor. Hold the brush upright between your thumb and other fingers. Don’t hold it too tightly—your hand should be relaxed. 48
The basic strokes are the foundation of good calligraphy. Practise horizontal strokes, vertical strokes and dots repeatedly. 49 Remember: “When you learn the basics well, the difficult parts become easy.”
Finally, the most important tip is to practise regularly. Even practising for fifteen minutes every day will bring improvement over time. ______ 50 ______ Don’t get discouraged if your writing doesn’t look perfect at first—every calligraphy master was once a beginner!
