The original poster wants to practice calligraphy, and it is recommended to use Jianhao or Yanghao. The hair is between wolf hair and sheep hair, not too soft or too hard.
A good writing brush has the four characteristics of being sharp, neat, round, and strong, and can run smoothly when used.
Tip: When the pen hairs are gathered together, the end should be sharp. The tip of the pen makes it easier to write with sharp edges and is easier to express. Writers often refer to their pens as "bald pens", but if the pen is not pointed, it will become a bald pen and the spirit of writing will be lost. When buying a new pen, the vellus hairs are glued together, making it easy to tell. When inspecting an old pen, wet the pen first and gather the vellus hairs to identify tip baldness.
Qi: means that the nib of the pen is even after it is smoothed and smoothed. If the hair is even, the length will be equal when flattened, and there will be no gaps in the middle. When writing, "all the hair will work together". Because the pen needs to be fully lubricated, it is difficult to check this when purchasing.
Round: refers to the shape of a pen that is as round as a jujube stone, which means that the hair is sufficient. If the vellus hair is abundant, the writing power will be sufficient when writing, otherwise, the body will be thin and the writing power will be lacking. If the stroke of the pen is perfect, the strokes of the pen will be smooth and smooth. When purchasing, you will know if the vellus hair is gathered together with glue and is perfect if you look carefully.
Jian: refers to the elasticity of the waist of the pen; when the pen is lifted up after heavy pressure, it will immediately return to its original shape. If the pen has elasticity, it can be used freely; generally speaking, rabbit hair and wolf hair have stronger elasticity than sheep hair, and the writing is firm and straight. Regarding this point, after smoothing the pen, press it again and then lift it up. A straight edge will make it strong.
The four virtues refer to the function of the pen itself, and the copied inscriptions should also be taken into consideration when choosing a pen. The so-called "use the pen used by a certain family and write that kind of calligraphy". To judge which kind of pen is used, the best way is to directly look at his handwriting: for a vigorous style, choose a strong brush; for a plump and plump style, choose a soft brush; for those who are hard to distinguish between hard and soft, choose a mixed brush. . The characteristics of the pen also affect the calligraphy written, so that the wonderful state of calligraphy can be achieved.
Another point is the font size. Use a large pen to write large characters and a small pen to write small characters. Writing large characters with a small pen is easy to damage the pen and cannot be rotated freely. Writing small characters with a large pen is a waste of time.
