Selection method:
1. Tip: When aggregating pens, the nib should be sharp.
When the fingers are close together, the ends should be sharp. The pen tip is easy to write and express. Writers often refer to their pens as "bald pens", but if they are not sharp, they will become bald pens, and there will be no spirit in writing books. When buying a new pen, the hair is glued and polymerized, which is easy to distinguish. When checking the old pen, first wet the pen and gather the hair, then you can distinguish the sharp baldness.
2. Qi: the nib is smooth and flat, and the hair at the nib is neat and tidy.
Refers to the wetting and flattening of the nib, and the nib is uniform. If the brush is neat, the length of the brush is equal at ordinary times, and there is no gap, then it is "ten thousand Li Qi" when writing. Because the pen needs to be completely wet, it is difficult to check this when buying it.
3. Round: Around the belly of the pen, the pen holder is full and round, conical, not flat or thin.
It means that the pen is as perfect as a jujube pit, which means that the hair is sufficient. If you have more hair, you will have enough pen power to write, otherwise you will lose weight and lack pen power. The pen is perfect. The pen can turn. When shopping, there is glue in your hair. Is it perfect? Just take a closer look.
4. Health: the bristles are elastic, easy to fold after spreading, and the brushwork should be healthy.
Refers to the elasticity of the pen waist; Press hard, lift the pen, and then return to its original state. If the pen is flexible, it can be used freely; Generally speaking, rabbit hair and wolf hair are more elastic than wool, and their writing is firm and firm. In this regard, press the pen after wetting, and the front is straight and healthy.
Four virtues refer to the function of the pen itself, and we should also consider the copybook when choosing the pen. The so-called "use a pen used by someone to write his words." The best way to judge what kind of pen to use is to look at his handwriting directly: if the style is strong, choose Hao Jian; If you are charming and plump, choose soft; Hard and soft, and then choose double brush. The characteristics of the pen also affect the written calligraphy, thus achieving the wonderful scenery of calligraphy.
Another point is the size of the font. Write big words in capital letters and small words in lowercase letters. Writing big characters with small pens is easy to be damaged and can't be justified, but writing small characters with large pens is a bit "killing the chicken."
Calligraphy includes seal script, official script, regular script, running script and cursive script. Most people and I think that beginners should focus on regular script, but some people think that they should learn official script.
The best way to practice regular script is to paste it. Actually, anything can be pasted. You can choose tablets according to your own preferences, such as Yan, Ou, Liu and Zhao, but try to buy better quality copybooks when buying tablet stickers.
The most important thing in learning calligraphy is persistence, more practice, more reading and more thinking. Of course, it would be better to get the guidance of a master.
We can also practice running script, official script and seal script when learning regular script, which can help us practice regular script better and reduce fatigue in practice.
