Abstract: There are many types of writing brushes. Generally, writing pens are roughly divided into three types: hard brushes, soft brushes and dual brushes. Soft pens include sheep pens, chicken pens, etc. Hard pens include purple hair, wolf hair, rat hair, etc. There are two types of jianhao pens: sheep purple jian and sheep wolf jian. Among them, the Yanghao brush and the Langhao brush are two common types of brushes that are commonly used when purchasing tools in the process of learning calligraphy. So which one is better, the Yanghao brush or the Langhao brush? What is the difference between Yanghao pen and Langhao pen? Let’s find out together below. The difference between Yanghao brush and Langhao brush
1. Different materials
Langhao brush is a brush made of weasel tail hair; Yanghao brush is a brush made of goat hair.
2. Different colors
The pen head of the wolf hair brush is made of weasel hair, so the color is brown; the sheep hair brush is made of goat hair, so the pen head is white.
3. The feel is different
Sheep hair is softer, less oily, and difficult to control. The writing is smoother and less likely to cause thirsty pen; Wolf hair is hard, oily, and easy to control. Control, the written words are prone to dry pen.
4. Applicable to different groups
Sheep hair is soft and suitable for calligraphers and painters with certain attainments, who are good at expressing the details of works; wolf hair is relatively strong, and the written words are very powerful. And smooth, like the running cursive and small regular script of the Jin Dynasty, they are very elegant and gorgeous, and most of them are written with langhao. If you are a beginner and want to write fluently and beautifully, you should mainly use langhao.
5. Different writing fonts
Yanghao is more suitable for writing regular script, running script and cursive script, and seal script and official script also perform better. The Langhao pen is only suitable for writing cursive script, and performs poorly in regular script, seal script, and official script. Because the strokes of regular script, seal script, and official script are straighter and have fewer spikes, while cursive script requires a hairspring lead. A more flexible pen for writing. The performance of sheep hair in this aspect is much worse, but its ink absorption is good, which can help us write enough words in one dip of ink, making the overall calligraphy style more coherent.
From the above description, we can see that the Langhao pen and the Yanghao pen have different advantages and disadvantages, so they are suitable for different writing environments, but there is a pen that takes into account both. The advantages between the two make up for the shortcomings between them, which is to use both the pen and the pen. If a pure sheep-hair or pure wolf-hair brush is not suitable for your writing, then choosing a dual-hair brush is also a good choice.
