Tool materials of Tibetan calligraphy

It is clearly recorded in the Classic of Danzhu. The Department of Technology believes that the tool for writing Tibetan is a bamboo pen. In order to facilitate writing different fonts, it is divided into a round bamboo pen and a triangular bamboo pen. It uses an arrow bamboo growing on the plateau to make a round bamboo pen, which is dried and cut. Triangular pens need to be smoked and cut when they are soft. The ink is made of willow branches on the plateau, put into a silver-carbon pen container, calcined and cooled. Later, due to the skillful production of Tibetan Thangka painting pigments, the pigments for writing Tibetan language developed from single ink to gold, silver, cinnabar, turquoise and other pigments. The most distinctive feature is that the eight-treasure ink for writing Tibetan is made of gold, silver, pearls, corals, conch, mangrove juice, cinnabar, turquoise and grinding, which makes Tibetan calligraphy have high collection value.
