Calligraphy was a very elegant and important skill in ancient times. As long as a scholar writes well, it makes people sit up and take notice. But in modern times, with the rise of computers, calligraphy is not as attractive as before, but people who can write good words are still envious. Now calligraphy is divided into hard pen calligraphy and soft pen calligraphy because of the addition of pens. So what are hard pen calligraphy and soft pen calligraphy?

What we usually call calligraphy works are written with a brush. However, some works are written with a pen. The so-called pen, to be exact, is a hard pen. This kind of hard pen includes pens, pencils, ballpoint pens and other pens made of hard materials such as bamboo, wood, bone, metal, minerals and plastics. Pen is divided into hard pen and soft pen, so calligraphy is also divided into hard pen calligraphy and soft pen calligraphy. Hui Zong, Guangdong
Hard pen calligraphy appeared earlier than soft pen calligraphy. About 6,000 years ago, primitive people in China carved many hieroglyphs on Banpo pottery and Dawenkou pottery with stone chips or pottery knives. It is said that this is the most primitive writing, called pottery writing? This is the origin of hard pen calligraphy. Later, Oracle Bone Inscriptions, Zhong Dingwen and seal script all developed hard-pen calligraphy. This primitive hard-pen calligraphy attracts people with its simple and lively style, which has considerable historical value and aesthetic interest. The appearance of soft-brush calligraphy depends on the appearance of writing brush. It is said that the brush originated in Qin and Han Dynasties. Only official script is the earliest soft-pen calligraphy font. The appearance of official script is a turning point in the history of calligraphy.
