A pen is just like a pen. Who proposed it?

Yu Lan, a painter and calligrapher in the Southern Liang Dynasty, suggested that the pen was only one or two.

When commenting on Wang Xizhi's calligraphy in On the Desk, Yu Lan said: It is only a few strokes long, so it is difficult. People with many talents and backbone still find it difficult to make a difference; If you have less pens and less effort, it is still hard to get them. Here refers to the pen gesture, the bone refers to the pen front, and the force refers to the brushwork. Yu Lan believes that strokes and strokes are important factors of calligraphy beauty, and their application requires certain skills and skill, so even if there are only a few strokes, it may be difficult to meet the requirements of calligraphy beauty.

Yu Hu also put forward the idea that calligraphy can cut branches instead of an axe, which means that calligraphy can be used as a practical tool and has practical application value. This view embodies the important position and practicability of calligraphy in the society at that time.
