The pen is closed at the end of this line. Mi Fei, a calligrapher in the Northern Song Dynasty, famously said: Never look at anything, never look down, never shrink. Among them, "closing" and "shrinking" refer to closing pens. The function of pen collection can also be summarized in one sentence: reset, pointing to the next pen. Just like starting a pen, the pen is not closed to draw a shape.

Its actual function is to slowly put away the scattered brush and let the brush slowly rebound back to its original shape. I have said the metaphor of pulling a bow before, and I feel that it is to conform to the elasticity of the string itself and return it to its original position. The so-called pen collection means pen collection. Of course, the elasticity of brushes is good or bad, wolf hair is more elastic and wool is less elastic.

Once the brush is opened, it is impossible to completely reset it during writing. Don't insist, as long as you have this awareness of closing the beam. The function of pen closing is not only to close the beam, but also to create conditions for the next pen. We know that once a stroke is placed in a word, it is not isolated, and it is related to the breath connection between the upper and lower strokes.

The main connotation of calligraphy:

1. Calligraphy refers to the art of expressing emotions with Four Treasures of the Study as a tool. The particularity of tools is an important aspect of the particularity of calligraphy art, and it is an important part of calligraphy techniques to fully embody the performance of tools with the help of Four Treasures of the Study. Without Four Treasures of the Study, there would be no calligraphy art.

2. Calligraphy art takes Chinese characters as the carrier. The particularity of Chinese characters is another important aspect of calligraphy particularity. China's calligraphy can not be separated from Chinese characters, and the form of Chinese character stippling and the collocation of radicals are the contents that writers pay more attention to. Different from other pinyin characters, Chinese characters are a combination of form, sound and meaning, which has strong formal significance.

3. The background of calligraphy art is China traditional culture. Calligraphy is rooted in China traditional culture, which is the background of its existence and development. The calligraphy theory we see today since the Han Dynasty has its own systematicness, integrity and orderliness. Calligraphy theory, like other literary theories, includes both the technique theory of calligraphy itself and the aesthetic theory of calligraphy.
