Of course, there are disadvantages, and the disadvantages are great. In ancient times, to write brush characters, one had to prepare a brush inkstone called Four Treasures of the Study. You should show paper and grinding ink. Don't be impetuous, don't throw the pen at will, or you will only get countless ink spots on your face, just like a Dalmatian. If there is a scholar's inspiration, after the paper display and ink polishing, perhaps the inspiration has already slipped away. Pen, ink, paper and inkstone are not easy to carry, and it is even more difficult to write a lot of words. The hair of a writing brush also has a service life, and it will become a bald pen when used to a certain extent. Once a calligrapher buried a bald brush in a pit and built a grave on it. What was it called? Bizuka? .
Bizuka? The existence of brush fully shows that it is not easy to write with brush, and it also shows that the ancients used broom to write. Brushes will lose hair if they are not well maintained. Wash the ink off quickly after writing, otherwise it will affect the writing effect of dry hair. When a brush is idle for a long time, you should also pay attention to protecting the hair on it, otherwise the tip will fall off or affect the hair quality after drying.
A big problem with the brush is that it writes slowly. Except for the long preparation time and slow writing, I can't catch up with the hard pen at all. Only in this way, the ancients cherish ink as gold, because it is not easy to write, you can't write too much, you can only choose words carefully. Of course, not all of them. Many writers are irresponsible and write a lot of things without words. In the era of hard pen calligraphy, there will be hundreds of thousands of words of novels. In the computer age, there will be novels with more than one million words. If you write with a brush, you won't kill the writer. When exactly do you want to write?
Brush is not easy to carry, although there are also pen containers and packaging boxes, but it takes up a lot of space and is not as convenient as fountain pens, so it can be used at any time. When you want to use a brush, you should grind the ink at any time. In order to save trouble, the scholar did not wash the brush after writing, but put on a pen cover. When using, if the ink on the brush head is not dry, write one or two strokes. If the ink is dry and the pen is solidified, it is necessary to put the pen in your mouth and let it melt. This is a temporary emergency. I often make my mouth full of ink, which is funny.
The words written by the brush are not easy to be copied in batches, and are only suitable for personal writing, communication between friends and academic research, but they cannot be made into online novels with millions of words and cannot be spread quickly. The famous poets in the Tang Dynasty wrote many good poems. Once Luoyang paper was expensive, what they said was the problem of limited communication.
