What kind of brush is better for learning calligraphy?

when choosing a brush, you should wash it according to the purpose. When writing running script, couplets and flat forehead, you can choose sheep's hair pen and sheep's hair, which are soft and tender, and have a wide range of uses. Zihao and Langhao pens are hard and elastic, with short front for regular script and long front for painting. Doubled both brush, on the other hand, is both hard and soft, and can be used for writing and painting. The three numbers of the brush are divided according to the length and thickness of the brush head, and users should choose the model according to the size of calligraphy and painting. The longest written "crane's foot" is 12 cm long, and the shortest "man's eyebrow" is only 1.5 cm. The hawthorn pen with a "fat" tip is 8 cm long in diameter, while the pen for drawing flowers is the thinnest, and the tip is as thin as cotton thread. Choosing a brush is to pick the tip of the hair. The pen tip should be sharp, neat, round and key, that is, the front of the pen tip should be sharp like a cone and round, the pen tip should be trimmed neatly, and the pen tip should be full and elastic. Generally, penholders are made of Pteris pubescens, Xiangfei Bamboo, Flower Bamboo and Purple Bamboo. When choosing a pen holder, you should look at whether the pen tube is round and smooth, not flat, not cracked, not bent or inclined, and the length is moderate. If there is seal cutting on the pen, it depends on whether it is clear and clear; If there is a mosaic, it depends on whether it is elegant and simple. Finally, it depends on whether the pen tip and the pen holder are glued together, and whether the pen tip is moldy or moth-eaten. First, gently shake the pen with your hand, so that it can't be loose, and then gently flick the pen to see if there is any hair loss, which is either moth-eaten or moldy. Check whether the brush tip is moldy, and you can smell it.
