question 3: what kind of brush is good for beginners? Hello, I am a calligraphy lover, and I won the third prize in the National Calligraphy and Painting Competition.
Let me answer your questions one by one:
I hope it will help you:
What kind of brush, big and small?
start using the compatibility of wolf hair and sheep hair (doubled both brush), and don't choose too big one, just the one with the big thumb;
What's the ink for? Do you want to use an inkstone, the kind with a little water ink?
just use the ink with a cabinet, and be sure to add water, otherwise the pen will stagnate and it will be bad for the pen industry; Just use a small plate for inkstone, which is very convenient to wash every time you finish writing;
How about the edge paper? Is the edge paper with ink absorption and smooth surface good?
Woolen paper is fine. You can buy thin rice paper if you can, but the price is a little more expensive.
What copybooks are better for beginners? You'd better introduce one.
I suggested choosing Yan Zhenqing. At first, I chose Liu Gongquan. Later, my teacher told me that it was difficult for Liu Ti to practice the style of a famous family. I will practice Liu Ti later.
what do you mean, copy, read and paste? Is there a sequence of posting, copying and reading?
Pro means writing in contrast, while copying means writing in shadow with paper covered.
it is suggested to copy before coming;
feel free to ask me any questions. I'm happy to communicate ~ ~
I wish you an early accomplishment as a calligrapher!
question 4: what is the best pen to use when starting to write Chinese calligraphy? Use "Yidege" or "Cao Sugong" for ink (plastic soft bottles on the market have a slight fragrance), and don't use the "Starlight" spleen in glass bottles, which is very seeping and stinking. It's better to have an inkstone, because the bought ink is thick and dry to write, so mix the ink and water in the inkstone, and then grind it with ink blocks. The ink blocks can be made of "Hu Kaiwen" with better quality. The inkstone is not too good, just ordinary. You can also get a dish or something to hold the ink without grinding it, and dilute the ink with a little water. Don't pour too much ink at one time, it's too wasteful to finish writing, and add water in moderation. If you add too much, it will seep.
paper is made of wool edge paper, which is very economical. It's best to use rough paper that has not been checked. The rough paper is more delicate and cheaper. When practicing, fold the paper in half, and when writing, you can align the words with reference to the crease.
Don't use rice paper for beginners. For one thing, rice paper is expensive, and for another, rice paper permeates quickly, which beginners can't master.
You can start with the Tang tablet (regular script), and don't use single-character copybooks (single-character copybooks are the ones used by primary school students, with nine squares drawn). In addition, you can also start with Lishu (han li), which is easier to get started. This is also the reason why you don't choose the plaid fringed paper. The inscriptions are all written vertically, and the vertical crease of the fringed paper is just the writing style of regular script, running script and so on. Starting from the inscriptions, in addition to practicing strokes and words, you can also learn the composition structure (a coherent word, how to put it between words).
Introduce several inscriptions: Liu Gongquan's Mysterious Pagoda Monument and Shence Army Monument, Yan Zhenqing's Duopagoda Monument and Diligence Monument, Ou Yangxun's Jiucheng Palace Liquan Inscription, han li's Yiying Monument, Zhang Qianbei, Cao Quanbei and Ode to Shimen. There is also a Preface to the Three Monks of the Tang Dynasty, which was written by "Huairen Monk" who collected Wang Xizhi's words. The most important thing to choose a copy template is to look at your own preferences and your favorite fonts, so that you will be interested in copying.
The pen is made of "Lake Pen". Personally, I feel that the pen of Lake Pen Factory No.2 is the best, and the brand is called "Yinglei". The skills of choosing a writing brush can be found on the Internet. A good pen is "sharp, round, neat and healthy". Beginners practice regular script, choose Yang Hao "center" or "middle long front", which is written on the label of stationery store and engraved on the pen. Different kinds of pens have different uses. If you choose the right pen, it will be easy to use.
the pen is the most important. The maintenance of the pen is also very important: don't use the newly bought pen for writing immediately. Soak the pen tip in water for one night and melt the glue, otherwise a good pen will be destroyed immediately. Remember to clean it after each writing, and gently shake it in the water. You can put your hands in the water and gently rub the brush hairs on your hands. If you use tap water, the pen tip should be facing down. When writing, don't touch the whole pen with ink, just touch the tip of the pen with ink, about one-third of it with ink. If the brush hair is dry and used for writing, first soak the pen in water for a period of time, so that the brush hair can drink enough water to write smoothly, and it is not easy to damage the good condition of the brush.
in addition, you can buy a "felt" (available in stationery stores) to put under paper when writing. You can also use newspapers to cushion or cloth.
hehe, try to relax. When you are a beginner, you don't need to buy too good tools, and you don't need to buy everything. Just order casually (if you don't want to practice calligraphy one day, you won't waste it). I wish you a happy study. * _ *
Question 5: How to choose a brush for beginners? There are many kinds of brushes. Generally speaking, pens for writing can be divided into three categories: soft, hard and neutral. Soft pens, such as sheep hair and chicken hair. Hard pens include purple hair (rabbit hair), wolf hair, mouse hair and so on. The neutral (neither soft nor hard) pen is called "doubled both brush", and there are two kinds: sheep purple and sheep wolf.
1. Type of brush:
● Hard brush: vigorous. Such as: wolf hair, mountain horse, ox ear hair, moustache, mountain rabbit, deer brush.
● Soft hairbrush: the pen is soft. Such as: yanghao pen.
● doubled both brush pen: It is hard and soft, and it is both rigid and soft. The brushwork is between hard and soft. Such as: long flow, wishful thinking, suitable for beginners to use.
2. Selection of brush:
A good brush should have the four virtues of "sharp, neat, round and healthy".
● Tip-When the pen is polymerized, the tip of the pen should be able to converge.
● Neat-touch the tip of the pen with water and knead it flat, so that the hair at the tip of the pen is neat and tidy.
● Round-around the belly of the pen, the pen is full and round, conical, not flat or thin.
● health-the brush hair is elastic, and it is easy to fold after being spread out, so the pen power should be healthy.
For beginners, if you use a hard brush from the beginning, you don't need many skills to carry the brush, which is more convenient, because the pen will help you a lot, but over time, you can only use a hard brush, and once you pick up a sheep's brush, you will feel unable to move. On the contrary, if you practice calligraphy with a sheep's brush when you are a beginner, although it is more difficult at first, you must use the method of lifting and changing the front to write qualified strokes, but you also learn the method of using a soft brush. With the increase of practice time, you will gradually become handy and apply it freely. At this time, if you pick up a hard brush to write, you will feel relaxed.
The ancients also had a lot of experience in the use of pens. I think it is not easy to buy a good and expensive pen when I am a beginner, but I advocate using a bad pen, because if you can write good words with a bad pen, you will be more comfortable and write better with a good pen. On the contrary, if you start with a good pen, you will only use a good pen all your life, and once you encounter a poor pen, you will not be able to write well. Of course, you can't practice calligraphy with a poor pen, which will increase the difficulty for beginners. Ou Yangxun, a great calligrapher in the early Tang Dynasty, recorded that "if you don't choose paper and pen, you will achieve your goal", which was praised by Yu Shinan of the same age.
In addition, from the economic point of view, authentic wolf-brush pens are very expensive, and good "Dalanzhu" costs one or two hundred yuan each, while ordinary sheep-brush pens only cost two or three yuan, and a little better five or six yuan each is enough. Moreover, because the pen is hard, it is easy to wear and tear, and its use time is not long, while the pen is soft and durable. It is economical for beginners to buy a sheep's hair pen.
before you buy a pen, you should also know the model of the brush. Brushes are divided into small letters, medium letters and large letters due to different styles, and the biggest ones are screen pens, couplet pens, bucket pens and planting pens. Due to the different names and brands of each pen factory, their sizes are also different. Beginners can buy a pen with a long front, the length of which is about four or five centimeters, and the diameter is about one centimeter. Such a brush can write seven centimeters square in block letters. It is more suitable for people who have just learned Chinese calligraphy.
learning calligraphy is a very good thing. I have been teaching myself since I was 12 years old, and I have benefited a lot. I hope you can pass on this hobby, too. I wish you success in learning! Be sure to keep practicing, see more and practice more.
question 6: I want to practice brush calligraphy. What do you want to prepare? When you start writing calligraphy, you should first prepare a writing brush, ink, a plate with a deeper inkstone or ink box, a piece of felt with a suitable size to cushion the table, and a variety of paper for practicing calligraphy, such as fringed paper and meta-book paper. Pay attention to using rice paper or leather paper. There are many brands of brush. If you are enthusiastic about practicing calligraphy, you can buy one with higher price and quality, and choose pens according to different copybooks. It is more appropriate to choose seal script, official script and regular script when you start practicing calligraphy. Among them, many famous posts are representative: {seal script} San Shi Pan, Mao Gong Ding, Shi Guwen, Taishan carved stone, Wu Rangzhi's three worries and three music stickers, Deng Shiru and Wu Changshuo's ink. {Lishu} There are many monuments in Zhang Qianbei, Cao Quanbei, Shichen, Shimen Ode and Huashan. {Regular script} Ou, Yan, Liu and Zhao are very famous. You can choose according to your own preferences. I recommend that you can practice the large-character Yinfu Sutra of Chu Suiliang in the early Tang Dynasty, which is very distinctive.
question 7: what brush does the calligrapher use? Write small letters with "wolf hair small letters", "seven purple three sheep" or "double materials to write volumes" You can choose "Yanghao Dakai" or "Yulanrui" or "Langhao" or "doubled both brush Pen" for middle and big letters. Write running script and cursive script with long front sheep hair. Write seal script and official script with doubled both brush or wolf brush. The name of the specific pen is different from pen factory to pen factory. You can consult the staff of the painting and calligraphy shop.
question 8: what is the emphasis on writing brush in calligraphy? In calligraphy, the emphasis on brush selection is:
There are many kinds of brush. In terms of raw materials and characteristics, it can be divided into three categories: soft, hard and doubled both brush. Soft wool is made from the hair of goats and wild yellow sheep, collectively called sheep wool, which is soft and round when written. The raw materials of hard hair are the hair on the tail of weasel and the hair of mountain rabbit-purple hair and wolf hair, which are elastic and sharp and strong. Concurrent luxury is the proportional collocation of soft and hard wool. For beginners, most of them use doubled both brush brush.
there are different sizes of brushes. The smallest pen is called Guibi, and then it is in small letters, middle letters and big letters ... The largest pen weighs several tens of pounds, and the pen holder is thicker than the bowl mouth, so the writer seems to sweep the road with a big broom. So, how did such a complicated kind of brush come from?
types of brush
the classification of brush is mainly based on size, as well as the type, source, shape and so on of brush hair.
according to the size, the brush can be simply divided into small letters, medium letters and large letters.
According to the types of brush hairs, it can be divided into soft bristles, hard bristles and doubled both brush.
according to the source, it can be divided into: fetal brush, wolf brush, rabbit shoulder brush, deer brush, chicken brush, duck brush, wool brush, pig brush, mouse brush, tiger brush, ox ear brush and so on.
(1) sheep millipedes. The pen is made of goat hair. Sheep's wool pen is soft and absorbs a large amount of ink, which is suitable for writing pointillism with round and solid performance. More durable than a wolf's brush. Most of these pens are lake pens, and the price is relatively cheap. Generally, there are big-block pens, Jingti (or lifting pens), Lianfeng, Pingfeng, Dingfeng, Gaifeng, banners, jade bamboo shoots, Yulanrui, Jingzha and so on.
(2) wolf brush. The pen is made of the hair on the tail of a weasel. The rat tail produced in the northeast is the most common, and it is called Beilanghao and Guandong Liaowei. Wolf's hair is stronger than sheep's hair pen, and it is suitable for writing and painting, but it is not as durable as sheep's hair pen and the price is more expensive than sheep's hair pen. Common varieties are Lanzhu, freehand brushwork, landscape, flowers, Ye Jin, clothing patterns, red beans, small seiko, deer wolf hair calligraphy and painting (made by adding deer hair to wolf hair), leopard wolf hair (made by adding leopard hair to wolf hair), special long-peak wolf hair, super-quality long-peak wolf hair and so on.
(3) Zihao. The written pen is made of rabbit hair, which is named after its purple, black and bright color. This pen is tall, straight, sharp and sharp, and its elasticity is stronger than that of wolf hair. Rabbit hair produced in Anhui is the best.
(4) doubled both brush. The pen is made of two kinds of animal hair with different rigidity and softness. The common species are doubled both brush, a sheep wolf, and doubled both brush, a sheep purple, such as five-purple five-sheep, seven-purple three-sheep, and so on. This kind of pen has the advantages of both sheep and wolf, moderate rigidity and price, and is commonly used by painters and calligraphers. There are two types: harmonic type and quilt type.
according to the shape, it can be divided into: round, sharp, and so on.
in addition, according to the length of the stroke, the brush has different performances, including long stroke, center stroke and short stroke. Long front is easy to draw graceful lines, short front is easy to make lines dignified and thick, and center is both, so it is appropriate to draw landscapes with center. According to the size of the brush tip, the brush is divided into small, medium and large models. All types of landscapes should be prepared. Generally, one for "small landscape" and "big landscape", one for "little white cloud" and "Big Baiyun", and a bigger "bucket pen" will do. How sharp the new pen is, it is only suitable for drawing thin lines, and the effect of rubbing, rubbing and tapping the old pen is good. Some painters like to use bald pens, and the dotted lines are not vigorous and simple. A good brush has four characteristics: round, neat, sharp and healthy, and it works freely when used. Brush should be washed in time after use to avoid dry ink damage.
The raw materials for making brush tubes are generally: gold, silver, ivory, glass, rosewood and bamboos
There are two centers in history: Xuanbi (Xuancheng, Anhui) and Hubi (Huzhou, Zhejiang). Now the brushes produced in Shanghai, Suzhou, Beijing, Chengdu and other places also enjoy high reputation. At present, the most famous place to produce brush is Huzhou, Shanlian Town, Xing Wu County, Zhejiang Province, which is called Lake Pen.
A pen has four virtues, namely "sharp, neat, round and healthy", which are introduced one by one as follows:
Sharp: when the pens are gathered together, the ends should be sharp. The nib is easy to write, and it is easier to express. Writers often refer to their pens as "bald pens", but if they are not sharp, they will become bald pens, and they will lose their spirits when making books.
when buying a new pen, the hairs are glued together, which is easy to distinguish. When checking the old pen, first wet the pen and gather the hairs, then you can distinguish the sharp baldness.
alignment: it means that after the nib is moistened and flattened, the tip is even. If the brush is neat, the length of the brush is equal at ordinary times, and there is no gap in it, so it is "ten thousand Qi Li" when writing. Because of the need
