Brush is generally divided into three types of pens-
Wolf brush: A pen made of weasel hair. Strong elasticity, the pen tip will feel a little hard after opening.
Second, wool: pens made of wool. Weak elasticity and softness
Double brushes: Use the hairs of more than two animals to make pens. It has the characteristics of wolf hair and wool, not as hard as wolf hair and not as soft as wool.
When choosing a brush, we still follow the old standard-"sharp, round, neat and healthy".
Sharp: when the pens are together, the two ends should be sharp so that the strokes can be written.
Round: refers to the perfect shape of jujube pit, which looks full of hair, while the pen tip is flat and thin, lacking pen power.
Qi: After writing, the length of the brush should be consistent inside and outside.
Health: The pen should be flexible and firm. Press the pen and it will unfold; When the pen is lifted, it naturally returns to the condensed state. Inferior pens can't get together after being pressed, which means that they are hairy and unhealthy.
For beginners, I recommend using double brushes and double brushes for sheep and wolves.
In fact, the key to the definition of a good pen depends on the user's own experience. Many times, you may not need a pen that calligraphers think is easy to use, or you may find it easy to use because your previous writing level and feel are different. If you think your writing brush is very comfortable, it is actually a good pen!
When we meet a pen that we like and feel easy to use, we should cherish it and work harder. Any good pen is the crystallization of the pen maker's painstaking efforts. We should learn to love and maintain brushes. Every time you finish your daily class, you should wash your pen and hang it vertically with the pen head down, which can improve the service life of the brush! Do remember!
