What kinds of calligraphy brushes are there?

Soft hair, hard hair and double brush. A writing brush is made of animal hair tied into a nib and then glued to a tubular pen holder. A good brush should have the characteristics of "sharp, neat, round and healthy". "Sharp" is a sharp pen; "Qi" means neatly trimmed; "Circle" means writing in a circle; "Jian" means that the brush is elastic and the words written are sharp and energetic.

When you write calligraphy, you should choose a brush according to the font.

Regular script is generally a static script, and the speed of pen movement is slow, so pay attention to the pen pressure. Therefore, it is necessary to choose a brush with a sharp point and a strong waist, so the dual brush made of wolf hair and wool is the main one.

The stroke speed of running script is fast, and there are changes in priorities. The ups and downs of strokes change greatly, and the stroke order also changes slightly. But when strokes enter from one stroke to another, they are often connected by lines, only the context, and the dividing line is not clear. In order to grasp the charm and elegance of the font, apart from the calligrapher's intention, Lang Hao and Double Brush are more suitable for grasping pause, frustration, pause and retraction.

The cursive font has a sense of freedom in modeling, and every point and stroke has a rhythm, producing a relaxed and smooth aesthetic feeling and interest. Therefore, people who write cursive scripts have many years of pen experience, not limited to using pens, but doing whatever they want.

If the effect is very good, they are all wool brushes or double-stranded brushes made of elastic wool, because the nib is made of wool, and the abdomen and waist of the pen are also supported by other reinforcements such as stiff wolf hair and ox ears, which can make the pen smooth and smooth, with sufficient pen power and no dryness, and can make the pen smooth and smooth when used.
