Song Huizong, the creator of The Golden Body is Thin, was a famous painter when he was young. It is said that the pen he used to create a thin gold body was Gou Xianbi, a wolf with a long front face, which he usually used to paint.
Thin gold is divided into big words and small words.
The stroke length of writing small characters of about 3cm is 6 to 10 times the diameter.
The length of the thin gold nib for writing large characters of about 10cm is 5 to 6 times the diameter.
It is best to use elastic hard hair (hard hair includes purple hair, wolf hair and mouse hair)
While writing hard and thin gold, Li Xiubi (also known as calligraphy pen) of Zhong Bai brand was the first one.
In addition, the pens for painting sold in Four Treasures of the Study stores, such as Plumbing Pen, Fine Drawing Pen, Clothing Pattern Pen, Fancy Flower Pen, Gou Xianbi Pen or Dragon, Phoenix and Wolf Pen, are all suitable for practicing fine gold writing.
Because the wolf brush is difficult to control, it is suggested that beginners who have no foundation can practice hard pen and fine gold first, copy with pencil characters first, lay a good foundation for basic strokes and basic structure, and then copy with ordinary signature pen and ink pen. Some can use this pen to copy ancient poems and appreciate the charm of some Chinese brush characters. After you have a certain understanding of the structure of the pen, you can write with wolf hair, which is easier to use and can also enhance your confidence.
2. What paper should I use?
Calligraphy mainly uses Xuan paper, which can be roughly divided into three categories: raw Xuan, cooked Xuan and semi-cooked Xuan.
Thin gold body should be written on cooked or semi-cooked paper.
Hard pen and fine gold are printed with computer printing paper, and the effect is very good. Its paper is white, slightly absorbing ink but not penetrating, which is especially suitable for Zhong Bai Li Xiubi's writing practice.
In addition, it is easier for beginners to write fine gold by using grid. You can make a grid under the paper, you can see the grid through the paper, and then write the strokes in the exact position; You can also use the kind of exercise books with fonts that you sell to write hard and thin gold.
If it is a small calligraphy and painting 3 cm, Chinese calligraphy and painting 5 cm or 6 cm, the hard pen is smaller.
3. Choice of ink
(After a lot of descriptions of He Shuang's cock) It is easy to buy Beijing Yidege ink, Anhui Yan Song ink or Sino-foreign joint venture Red Star ink.
