How many kinds of ways to hold a Chinese brush? Yours seems very different???

[artvirtue]

@peiwei205 There are several popular ways but I am sure about the exact number. The method I am using for most instances is usually called Tiger Mouth Method or Dragon Eye Method by some people.

@artvirtue ...but I am not sure about the exact number.
