In Chinese calligraphy art, hard pens refer to writing pens other than soft pens such as brushes, including pens, pencils and signatures.
Hard pen uses ink as the main carrier to express writing skills. It has the characteristics of convenient carrying, quick writing and wide use value. The difference between it and the soft pen lies in changing the thick stippling of the soft pen into slender stippling, removing its flesh and tendons and preserving its bones. Hard-pen calligraphy refers to an art form that uses hard pen to write words according to certain writing rules and forms.
Hard-pen calligraphy is a kind of calligraphy, and its nib is "hard", while the soft pen with brush as the main part is "soft". Hard-pen calligraphy is called calligraphy because there is an inseparable relationship between it and brush calligraphy: both of them take Chinese characters as the carrier, that is, they take Chinese characters as the object of expression. Although their brushwork is different, their structural laws and rules are basically the same.
the line expression of hard pen can learn from the brushwork of brush. For example, in hard-pen calligraphy, the method of integrity and priority of brush ups and downs is used for reference, which makes the strokes more colorful. Hard-pen calligraphy has a long history. The writing on tortoise shell and animal bones in Oracle Bone Inscriptions period was the earliest record of hard-pen writing, so it can be said that the history of hard-pen writing is at least 3,5 years.
