Several problems in calligraphy

A pen has "four virtues", namely "sharp, neat, round and healthy", which are introduced one by one below:

Sharp: When the pens are gathered 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 lose the brilliance of writing.

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.

Qi: refers to the pen tip after it is flattened with water. If the strokes are even, the strokes are equal in length and there will be no gaps, so the strokes are "10,000 liqi". Because the pen needs to be completely wetted, it is difficult to check this when buying.

Round: 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.

Health: 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 books are strong 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 same is true of the so-called "write his own words with a pen that someone has used". 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. Small pen writing big characters is vulnerable to attack, so it can't be self-sufficient, and it's useless to write small characters with large pen.

According to the different raw materials, it can be divided into wool pen, wolf brush, purple brush and double-stranded brush.

(1) Ranunculus. This pen is made of goat hair. Wool pen is soft in texture and absorbs a large amount of ink, which is suitable for writing with round and solid stippling. More durable than a wolf's brush. Most of these pens are lake pens, which are relatively cheap. Generally, there are big pens, Jingti (or pen lifting), Lianfeng, Feng Ping, Ding Feng, Gaifeng, flagpole, Jade Bamboo Shoots, Yulanrui and Jingzha.

(2) Wolf brush. This pen is made of the hair on the tail of a weasel. The rat tail produced in Northeast China is the most common, and it is called "North Langhao" and "Guandong Liao Wei". Wolf hair is stronger than wool pen and suitable for writing and drawing, but it is not as durable as wool pen and more expensive. Common varieties are Zhu Lan, freehand brushwork, landscape, flowers, Ye Jin, costume patterns, red beans, small seiko, deer and wolf hair calligraphy and painting (made of wolf hair and deer hair), leopard and wolf hair (made of wolf hair and leopard hair), special long-peak wolf hair, super long-peak wolf hair and so on.

(3) font size. The writing pen is made of rabbit hair, so it is named for its purple, black and bright colors. This pen is tall and straight, sharp and sharp, and it is more elastic than a wolf's hair. Anwei's rabbit hair is the best.

(4) Double-sided brush. This pen is made of two kinds of animal hair with different hardness and softness. Common varieties are double-stranded brush, wolf sheep, double-stranded brush and purple sheep, such as five-purple five-sheep and seven-purple three-sheep. This pen has the advantages of both sheep and wolves, moderate rigidity and moderate price, and is commonly used by painters and painters. There are two types: harmonic type and quilt type.

In addition, there are pens made of chicken feathers, mountain horses, moustaches and bristles. There are also white hair, green hair, yellow hair, sheep hair, horse hair, deer hair, musk hair, badger hair, raccoon hair, mink hair, moustache, rat tail, tiger hair, wolf tail, fox hair, otter hair, orangutan hair, goose hair, duck hair, chicken hair, pheasant hair, pig hair and so on.

As for good or bad

We can't generalize

It depends on the specific situation.

Personally, I think that on the whole.

Lang Hao was elected "Li Fushou" in Beijing.

Wool quilt can choose Huzhou "Shuangyang" brand.

In addition, the pens of Anhui "Three Rabbits" and Shanghai "Tong Huchen" are also good.
