In the art of calligraphy in my country, what pen is usually used to write hard-pen calligraphy?

In the art of calligraphy in my country, hard-pen calligraphy is usually written with a pen.

Writing tools for hard-pen calligraphy include pens, ballpoint pens, dip pens, pencils, plastic pens, bamboo pens, wooden pens, stylus pens, etc. The pens used for calligraphy practice are ordinary pens, ballpoint pens, carbon pens or pencils. It is best for the pen to have smoother water flow, especially when using carbon ink. It should be washed frequently with clean water, because carbon ink can easily clump and clog the pen.

When using a pen, be sure to put on the pen cover in time when not writing to avoid moisture evaporation that may cause the ink to clump and clog the pen. The characteristics of hard-pen calligraphy are mainly compared with brush calligraphy. Since the nib of a hard pen is made of relatively hard material, its lines do not change as much as those of a brush. The price of the fountain pen is relatively low and it is more convenient to use, so it has become one of the main writing tools for hard-pen calligraphy.
