Can electric blankets be used for calligraphy?

Waste electric blanket is not suitable for calligraphy blanket. Because it does not have the function of calligraphy felt.

The functions of calligraphy felt mainly include:

1, flatten the rice paper.

Xuan paper is very soft and elastic. There will be wrinkles when folded and stored. When spread on a smooth desktop, the folds can't be stretched and uneven, and the protruding places are "empty", so you can't concentrate on writing. Fine felt will rub against rice paper. After the folds of rice paper are smoothed, it will be attached to the felt very closely, which is convenient for writing.

2, ink and ink.

The ink is transparent, commonly known as "Huan". After being soaked in ink, rice paper will adhere to the smooth desktop and spread rapidly in all directions, resulting in the phenomenon of "ink running". The fine hairs of the felt, like countless small supports, hold up the paper, blocking the conditions of diffusion and infiltration, making the writing ink stop at the inking place of the rice paper, gradually dry in the shade, and the thick ink color can be preserved.

3, improve the feel.

The delicate felt is smooth, soft, elastic and feels good, which is beneficial for calligraphers to write freely.

Household electric blankets, mostly chemical fiber products, are smooth in texture and cannot "catch" rice paper, and there is no "affinity" between them. The folds of rice paper can't be stretched, and the rice paper will slide off the chemical fiber under the power of the pen. Brush dipped in too much ink, chemical fiber has no adsorption capacity, does not have the "lifting" characteristics of felt, and it is easy to run ink.
