Hard-pen calligraphy uses a pen.
The pen can write better, making the written words more beautiful. Fountain pens, like calligraphy brushes, can better express the charm of Chinese characters. For those who learn hard-pen calligraphy, fountain pens make it easier to master the use, structure and organization of Chinese characters, which is good for writing other hard-pen calligraphy.
It is not necessary to use a pen to practice hard-pen calligraphy. For primary school students who are just beginning to learn hard-pen calligraphy, the pen is difficult to control. If you use too much force, it will easily pierce the paper, but if you use too little force, the effect of the practice will not be achieved. Moreover, the pen is also easy to leak ink, staining stationery and even clothes. .
So they usually use pencils when they study, which is easy to carry and write, making it easy for children to correct. The most commonly used pens in society today are probably water-based pens. This kind of pen combines the characteristics of ballpoint pens and fountain pens. It is easy to carry and the writing is relatively full. Therefore, it is possible to practice calligraphy with this pen without using a pen.
Dividing types of pens:
1. Gold pen.
The pen tip is made of gold alloy. The pen tip is soft, has good elasticity and feels comfortable in the hand. However, gold pens are more expensive, have soft nibs, and are difficult to master, so they should not be used by beginners.
2. Iridium pen.
The pen tip does not contain gold, and some of the pen tips are gold-plated. The pen tip is hard, but it is high-quality and low-priced. It is a suitable tool for beginners to write. The secret why gold nibs and iridium nibs are more durable than steel nibs lies in the small round particles on the steel nib. This small round particle is made of iridium-ruthenium alloy, which is very hard and wear-resistant.
According to an experiment by Shanghai Jinxing Gold Pen Factory, if a gold pen nib and a steel pen nib are ground on a whetstone at the same time, after one hour, the gold pen nib will only wear 0.07 mm, while the steel pen nib will wear as much as 5 mm. The price is very different, but the iridium particles in the pen tip are all special alloys of iridium and ruthenium. The reason why the smoothness is so different is because of the different grinding methods and fineness.
So in a sense, gold pens and iridium pens are the same. However, the materials and feel are different, which leads to the price gap.
3. Ink sac pen.
The ink bag fountain pen does not need to absorb ink, just insert the special ink bag and you can use it.
