Is it better to learn calligraphy with a soft pen or a hard pen?

It will be more practical to learn hard-pen calligraphy, because hard-pen calligraphy is basically used now, so there are more opportunities to use it at ordinary times.

In addition, it is relatively easy to learn hard pen calligraphy. Whether holding a pen or holding a pen, it can be used almost at ordinary times. You just need to learn the structure and font characteristics of words, and practice more at ordinary times.

When learning soft pen calligraphy, the first problem is the posture of holding the pen, which is different in peacetime and needs to be used to for a while. In addition, the tip of the brush is soft, so you need to pay attention when carrying the pen.

But writing brush strokes is the most tempered, and impatience is not easy to practice. You need to calm down and spend more time practicing.

The difference between hard pen calligraphy and soft pen calligraphy;

1. Different pens

Soft pen mainly includes brush and chalk, and the difference between soft pen and hard pen is the pen tip.

Because the writing tip of the brush is very soft, the brush can change rich lines, such as drawing different forms of lines and changing the thickness through the ups and downs of the pen, pressing and lifting the pen. Students can feel more changes and beauty in the process of writing.

Hard pens mainly include pens, ballpoint pens, dip pens, pencils, plastic pens, bamboo pens, wooden pens and iron pens. So words written with pencils and ballpoint pens can also be called hard pen words.

Hard pen calligraphy is a derivative of soft pen calligraphy. Change the rough stippling of soft pen into slender stippling, remove its flesh and blood, and let students feel the font and structure more directly and clearly.

2. Different grip power

The holding posture of a soft pen is completely different from that of a hard pen, and the force is also different. Soft pen mainly depends on arm strength and wrist strength, while hard pen calligraphy mainly depends on wrist strength.

Therefore, students who have learned soft pen calligraphy do not mean that they can write good hard pen characters immediately. They need to practice again. Only by mastering the grip of hard pen can they lay the foundation for writing hard pen words well.

3. Different use ranges and frequencies

Hard pen calligraphy is widely used in homework, exams and daily use. We students have been in contact since school, so the frequency of practice is naturally higher than that of soft pen.

However, due to the lack of practical application, students do not practice frequently and need a high degree of self-control.

Therefore, parents who want to learn soft pen calligraphy so that students can use it immediately in school homework need to think more about the original intention of letting their children learn calligraphy.

From the font itself, regular script is the most mature font of Chinese characters, with square font, straight strokes and strict statutes. Students' acquisition of neat and beautiful regular script is also the most popular among marking teachers.
