Comprehensive terminology of calligraphy

Techniques pay attention to writing, using pen, using ink, stippling, structure, distribution (line order, composition), style, etc. The general requirements are as follows: when holding the pen, the finger should be pointed firmly and the palm empty, and the five fingers should work together; when using the pen, the center should be smooth; the stippling should be perfect and thoughtful; the structure should be horizontal and vertical, and the meaning should echo; the distribution should be intricately changed, the density should be appropriate, and the whole text should be coherent; and Advocate individuality, style and interest.

2. Dharma calligraphy: calligraphy terminology. Refers to calligraphy works with a high artistic level. In ancient times, calligraphy works written on paper and silk with legal standards were called "fashu" or "shu". "The Samadhi of Calligraphy": "The key to writing calligraphy is to write calmly. Even between one stroke and one stroke, the brush must be passed three times before it can be called a Dharma calligraphy."

"History of the Song Dynasty·Biography of Mi Fu": "It is particularly wonderful in calligraphy, calm and flying, and captures Wang Xian's brushstrokes."
