Extended data:
Calligraphy brush: Zhu Lanbi can not only draw Zhu Lan, but also write all kinds of regular script and running script. Regular script writing is slow, pay attention to the strength of pen pressure, so choose a brush with a sharp waist, so it is mainly wolf hair. The stroke speed of running script is fast and abrupt, the stroke fluctuates and the stroke order changes slightly. But when strokes enter from one stroke to another, they are often connected by lines, only the context, and the dividing line is not clear. In order to grasp the charm and elegance of the font, in addition to the calligrapher's intention, the brush is more suitable, because it can better grasp the pause, frustration, stop and release.
