1. The concept of hard pen calligraphy Hard pen calligraphy is a wonderful flower in the hundred gardens of calligraphy art, and it is a kind of calligraphy. Its writing tools include pens, ballpoint pens, dip pens, pencils, plastic pens, bamboo pens, wooden pens and iron pens. , with ink as the main carrier, showing China's writing skills. Convenient to carry, fast to write and widely used. The difference between it and the brush pen is that it changes the rough stippling of the soft pen into a slender stippling, and removes its tendons and bones.

2. The origin of hard pen calligraphy As for the origin of hard pen calligraphy, many people think that it can be traced back to ancient times, when people used stone tablets and knives to depict tortoise shells and animal bones, thus proving that hard pen calligraphy was an art form before brush calligraphy. However, knives and stone chips are far from the hard pen writing tools we use now, and there are still some differences between description and writing. This is why calligraphy and seal cutting are always two kinds of arts, although they are inextricably linked. Comparatively speaking, we prefer to trace the history of seal cutting back to Oracle Bone Inscriptions.

3. Characteristics of Hard Pen Calligraphy Learning hard pen calligraphy should not only pursue a high-level artistic level, but also pay attention to its practical value. To embody practical value, it is necessary to write correctly, regularly and symmetrically. Chinese characters written by hard pen or by soft pen cannot be violated, otherwise they will not be recognized by others. Therefore, Chinese characters written by hard pen can still show the traditional style of Chinese characters more or less. Soft pen and hard pen have their own characteristics. What are the characteristics of Chinese characters written by hard pen? When we use the "fuzzy" way of thinking and regard the strokes written by soft pen as "faces", we can also regard the strokes written by hard pen as "lines". We regard hard pen strokes as "lines" because it can't basically express the expressive force of soft pen strokes on the contrast of line thickness changes (except for irregular hard pens). Hard pen is just a line, and the traditional "turning point" technique has lost its application significance. The Chinese characters written in this way are just a combination of lines, which is a bit like the "steel wire seal" created by the Qing Dynasty.

4. Hard-pen calligraphy pen (the relationship between priority and thickness change) The change of stroke thickness is not only related to the writing angle, but also depends on the priority when using the pen. Under the same angle and height of the pen, if the force and speed are different, the strokes can produce different thickness effects, and even achieve the neutralization effect. Emphasize the angle and height when writing, and pay attention to the priorities when using a pen. The two complement each other and are indispensable.
