Hands shaking when writing calligraphy

Can you write calligraphy? Have you ever encountered the problem of your hands being unsteady and shaking while writing calligraphy? In fact, this phenomenon is very normal for us beginners. The more you write and practice, the less hand shaking will occur. However, for those who write calligraphy frequently, if this phenomenon occurs, we must promptly rule out the possibility that it is not a physical problem. After ruling out physical problems, the cause may be caused by our incorrect writing method.

1. Is it abnormal for beginners to have hand tremors when learning calligraphy?

This phenomenon is very normal. As long as we persist in practicing calligraphy seriously, it will disappear after a period of time and will not accompany us for a long time. Anyone who wants to write calligraphy well, or anyone who is willing to put in the effort to learn it, will definitely have shaking hands. Of course, those who don’t write seriously won’t even have any shaking. This is not a problem, and there is no need to avoid it deliberately. For those of us who are learning calligraphy, no matter how you shake now, it will not have any impact.

2. The main reasons for hand shaking when writing calligraphy

Apart from physiological diseases and accidental causes (such as drunkenness), the main reasons for hand shaking when writing are as follows:

1. Beginners, due to lack of experience, are not sure about the words they write and completely lack confidence, which leads to nervousness and hand tremors. This is the most common.

2. The pen holding or sitting posture is wrong from the beginning, and the wrong method leads to hand shaking problems.

3. It is normal when writing alone, but when writing in front of others, nervousness will cause hand shaking.

3. How to relieve hand shaking when writing calligraphy

1. First of all, you must master the correct posture. Whether you are sitting or standing, you must follow the standards and do not twist your body or stand unsteadily.

2. Hold the pen correctly. Do not use too much force to make the outside tight and the inside loose, hold the pen unstable, or have difficulty turning the wrist. Once these phenomena occur, there must be a problem with the pen holding, which makes writing uncomfortable and causes hand tremors.

3. You must learn to control your emotions. After strenuous exercise or when you are emotionally unstable, you need to wait until you are calm before starting to write. Do not let external factors make you nervous while writing.
