After traveling through time, she went to practice her way of making money

Recalling her childhood, whenever she practiced calligraphy, she felt as if she was in a fierce battle with a caterpillar. Everything she wrote was winding and difficult to recognize, and her face and body would be covered with ink stains.

However, not long after, Su Shi'an felt relieved. It turned out that she was not the only one who was in such a mess. Most people who were learning calligraphy for the first time were in such a mess. Especially since they did not use bottled ink, but had to grind the ink with ink sticks themselves. Therefore, the whole study often echoed with Deng Qiyue's deafening roar: "Be careful, wash your clothes tonight!"

"Uncle Seven, do you think this is ok?" Su Shikuan presented the ink he had carefully ground to Deng Qiyue, asking him to take a look. "It's still not cooked enough," Deng Qiyue replied.

At this time, Su Shirong already felt unbearable pain in his arms, and finally couldn't help asking, "Seventh Uncle, what about mine?" "It also fails to meet the standard." After getting the answer, Su Shirong couldn't help but look bitter.

"What about mine?" Su Shian also felt exhausted. "Still unqualified. All three of you failed to meet the requirements." Deng Qiyue judged mercilessly.

At this moment, there was a sudden exclamation: "Look at Ning'er, she is so focused, there is not even a drop of ink on her body!" Deng Qi Yue watched Su Shining's gentle and slow movements of grinding ink, and thought to himself that he might not be as careful, thoughtful and organized as her.

"Thank you for the compliment, Uncle Seven."

"You're welcome, you did an excellent job." Deng Qiyue said as he rolled up his sleeves, picked up the pen and gently dipped it into some of the ink that Su Shining had just ground. Although the color was a little light, it was almost up to the standard.

In fact, the situation of the other people present at this moment could only be described as horrific.

Faced with such a situation, Deng Qiyue could only suppress his anger, try to calm himself down, and then slowly explained: "The ink we use for writing must be freshly ground. Because if the ink is left for more than a day, the colloid in it will gradually separate from the coal ash, causing the ink color to become dull and unable to remain stable for a long time. Therefore, using overnight ink to write will easily cause fading.

After grinding the ink, take it out and do not place it in the inkstone pool, otherwise the glue will stick to the inkstone pool, making it difficult to remove after drying, and it will also prevent moisture and softening, which will hurt both sides. It should be dried naturally in the shade, and should not be exposed to the sun to avoid drying. Therefore, it is best to put it in a box after use, so that it can prevent moisture, avoid direct sunlight, and avoid dust.

It is best to use clear and clean water to grind the ink. If you need to grind a thicker ink, you can first add a small amount of water and grind it slowly until it becomes thick, and then add some clean water to continue grinding according to the actual situation. However, be careful not to add too much water for the first time, so as to prevent the ink block from being soaked and softened, affecting subsequent use.

For calligraphy works, it is crucial to be able to use the ink method appropriately, and mastering the strength is particularly important: when grinding ink, the weight should be appropriate and the speed should be moderate. Specifically, the sitting posture of the person grinding ink should be correct, the ink stick should be held vertically and steadily, and gently rotated on the inkstone in a circular manner. Avoid tilting too much or directly pushing and pulling and rubbing, and do not grind randomly without any rules. If you use too much force or too fast, the ink will be rough and uneven; on the contrary, if you use too little force or too slow speed, it will not only waste time but also make the ink frivolous; only by grasping the right measure and controlling the rhythm can you achieve twice the result with half the effort.

In short, the correct way to grind ink is to "press and push with your fingers", that is, the pressure and push of your fingers should be coordinated with each other, and the strength should be light or heavy in order. Do not rush. Only in this way can you grind out fine, uniform, and shiny ink. "

"Uncle Qi, we understand." Su Shikuan and others answered in unison. After some effort, they finally succeeded in grinding out the ink under the careful guidance of Deng Qiyue.

Looking at the black ink in front of him, Su Shikuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, Deng Qiyue said, "It's getting late today, I won't teach you anything more. You just need to write your name today, and you can go to dinner. Otherwise... hehehe..."

Hearing this, Su Shikuan couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Qi, can we relax a little on the first day of study? We don't have to be so strict, right?"

At the same time, Su Shi'an on the side thought: "It's okay, as long as I can write, it doesn't matter if the handwriting is ugly. After all, writing should not be too difficult." On the other side, Su Shirong listened attentively to Deng Qiyue's explanation of the key points and techniques to pay attention to when writing, for fear of missing any key information.

"First, let me tell you about the correct sitting posture: first, keep your head straight; second, keep your upper body straight; third, open your arms naturally; fourth, place your feet firmly on the ground. An An, you must sit still and don't move around or sway around."

"I know." Su Shian couldn't help feeling shy and embarrassed when the teacher called his name.

"Next, let's talk about the key points of pen-holding posture. You need to press your thumb on the side of the pen shaft close to yourself, so that it is roughly in a horizontal posture." After saying that, Deng Qiyue walked towards the students and began to check whether their movements were standard one by one.

"Then, the first or second joint of the index finger should press the pen from the outside inward. At the same time, the middle finger should be close to the index finger, hooking the pen in a hook shape. In addition, the ring finger should also be close to the middle finger, and use the base of the first joint of the nail to press against the pen, thereby resisting the inward pressure applied by the index and middle fingers."

Then put your little finger against the inner and lower side of your ring finger and apply a little force. In this way, the five fingers can be evenly distributed around the three sides of the pen, so that the pen can be held firmly while keeping the palm empty.

The pen-holding method I teach you is called the five-finger pen-holding method. Due to the degree of opening and closing of the hand and whether the pen is held at the fingertips or the second joint of the fingers, it can evolve into many different forms. The ancients called these different pen-holding postures "phoenix eye", "tiger mouth", "goose head" and so on.

Under Deng Qiyue's patient guidance and correction, these people finally mastered how to hold the pen correctly and started writing. There is no doubt that Su Shian was the first one to learn to write her own name, after all, she had learned it before! Although the handwriting was a little ugly, Deng Qiyue believed that as long as she practiced more, it would definitely improve. So, Su Shian got a moment of rest.
