Paper: Xuan paper can be divided into raw Xuan and cooked Xuan. Beginners of Chinese painting can choose half-baked ones.
Pen: large, medium and small white clouds, large, medium and small.
Ink: Just buy ink.
Inkstone: Beginners don't need it, except of course they like ink and ink. I just like the feeling of ink.
Pen washing: two clean white porcelain basins, one for pen washing and one for clean water (two meticulous pens and one for general use).
Palette: It's better to choose white porcelain than plastic.
Pen container, pen holder: used for placing writing brushes.
Weighing ruler: used for pressing paper, and can also be replaced by drawing board, clip and thumbtack.
Pen curtain: a pen-loading tool made of bamboo (long like a small cushion), which is convenient for carrying and storing writing brushes. (no, it's okay)
White paper: If you draw meticulous paintings, you may need to make a manuscript. Ordinary white paper can be revised repeatedly and put on rice paper after finalization.
Gelatin, Alum: This is generally not needed. It is used to promote students, which is needed in some paintings with part-time jobs and writing.
Combination brushes: for background colors
There are also Chinese painting pigments and related books. I wish you a happy painting!
