What's the difference between wool and wolf hair?

1, wool: hard and soft, and writing can be changeable after being filled with ink. Cai Yong was a great calligrapher and calligrapher theorist in the Eastern Han Dynasty. His self-edited Xiping Shi Jing Ba Fen sorted out various styles of seal script, official script, official script and official script popular in Qin and Han Dynasties, and became the normal eight points popular in the Eastern Han Dynasty. His understanding of the brush is that "it is strange that the brush is soft."

Generally, it is more appropriate to write signs or plaques with sheep hair, and sheep hair can write all kinds of books at will. After studying for a long time, when I write cursive lines, I naturally feel a sense of monument, such as Yu Youren's cursive calligraphy. Whether we can reach this level depends on how hard we study.

Special features: sheep hair is made of goat hair, which is soft, absorbent and white.

Fitness: Wool quilt is soft, suitable for painters and painters with certain attainments, and good at expressing the details of works.

However, beginners should start with the wool shape and train the control of the pen. When they can control their soft hair freely, they can use their hard hair again.

2. Lang Hao: More determined, the words written are vigorous and beautiful. The cursive scripts and small letters in the Jin Dynasty are mainly elegant and strive for simplicity and beauty. Legend has it that Wang Xizhi wrote Preface to Lanting with a firm pen. Strictly speaking, if you want to write the calligraphy style of the two kings in the Jin Dynasty, you have to use Langhao. Beginners want to write neatly and beautifully, but they still have to use wolf hair.

Extended data:

From the economic point of view, the authentic wolf brush is very expensive, and the good one costs one or two hundred yuan, the ordinary one only costs two or three yuan, and the better one costs five or six yuan. And because the pen is hard, easy to wear and tear, and the use time is not long, while the pen is soft and durable. It is economical for beginners to buy a wool pen.

Before buying a pen, you should also know the model of the brush. Brushes are divided into small letters, medium letters and large characters due to different styles, and the biggest ones are screen pens, couplet pens, bucket pens and planting pens. Because the name and brand of each pen factory are different, its size is also different.
