悬腕

verb

to write with a suspended wrist (in Chinese calligraphy, keeping the wrist elevated above the table without touching it, used especially when writing large characters)

A fundamental technique in Chinese calligraphy, particularly important when writing large characters that require greater range of motion. The wrist remains suspended in the air, not resting on the table or a wrist rest. Contrasts with 枕腕 (wrist resting on the table) and 提腕 (wrist slightly raised but not fully suspended).
