When doing Chinese Calligraphy is the ink supposed to spread out so far from the brush?

Shocker asked:
When I do Chinese calligraphy my ink travels about 3-5mm from the brush. What I paint doesn’t looks to bad. If i make the ink thicker than the brush kind of loses it’s tip and i get some wierd stuff. I’m using a sheep brush, inkstone and stick and chinese calligraphy paper. Also to make the ink lighter I am supposed to use more water but, Then the ink travels even further.
