Why choose different fonts and brushes:
Regular script structure is smooth and square, elegant and dignified. When writing regular script, we attach great importance to the power, meaning and meaning of the pen, and pay attention to the combination of their length, which is both rigid and straightforward, and both rigid and flexible. Regular script is a kind of static writing, and the writing speed is slow, so it is necessary to choose a brush with a sharp waist, so it is most suitable to use a wolf brush.
Running script is a general term, a font between regular script and cursive script, which is produced to make up for the slow writing speed of regular script and the illegible cursive script. In the process of writing, the subtle turning point of the pen is obvious in various forms of stippling. Therefore, it is more appropriate to choose Langhao Pen and Double-strand Brush (a mixture of Langhao and Yang Hao).
Cursive script refers to cursive script. In modern times, the aesthetic value of cursive script far exceeds its practical value. The cursive writing style is more relaxed and unrestrained, with ups and downs and flowing water. It is best to choose a wool pen for cursive writing, which can make the pen smooth and smooth, with sufficient pen power and no dryness.
