Do you use wool quilt or double brush to write official script?

It is suitable to write official script with sheep hair, because it is soft and can enhance expressiveness. Beginners are advised to use wolf hair or double brushes, seal script and regular script with wolf hair or double brushes, and running script or cursive script with Yang Hao or double brushes. Of course, the specific reference should be based on the proficiency of calligraphy and personal habits.

Before the Qing Dynasty, all calligraphy was written with hard pen. Yang Hao's brush only appeared in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and the production technology gradually developed.

When learning calligraphy, you should choose the appropriate brush according to different fonts. The brush used to write official script is a sheep's wool pen or a double pen. Doubled both brush is a kind of brush between wool brush and wolf pen. When writing, it is very elastic and absorbs a large amount of ink, which is very suitable for writing.

Sheep hair is made of the tail hair of Qingyang or antelope, which is more suitable for calligraphy with heavy brushwork. The written words are soft and have no strokes, and the ink absorption of sheep hair is relatively large. The strokes written are round and thick, and the wool is very durable.

At the beginning, I usually choose wolf hair or double brush, which has obvious advantages and is easy to control. Very suitable for beginners, you can write hard. If you have no basic skills, it is not recommended to use soft pens.
