Brushes can be roughly divided into wolf hair, wool and double-stranded brushes according to their materials.
Wolf hair refers to weasel hair. Wolf brush is hard and elastic, but pure wolf hair is more expensive.
Wool brushes are soft, but they need wrist strength and stroke power. If you practice with pure wool from the beginning, it will be difficult to control, which will dampen the enthusiasm of practicing calligraphy.
Double-strand brush is divided into wolf double-strand brush and sheep double-strand brush, which are made of ferret hair (wool) and nylon and other accessories. Double both brush's brush is moderate in hardness and elasticity, which makes it easier for beginners to master and get started quickly.
Brushes can be simply divided into small letters, medium letters and large characters according to their commonly used sizes. The bigger ones are screen pen, couplet pen, bucket pen, pen planting and so on. Two important indicators to measure the size of the brush: the diameter and length of the front end. Usually, just look at the diameter and length of the front end of the brush to determine how big the pen can write. For example, a set of three pens, large, medium and small, may all be middle letters, but the front diameter and front length are slightly different. If you want to write small words, you have to buy a small pen, not a small one. Here are some words suitable for writing with all kinds of brushes.
Although a good pen is the icing on the cake, writing calligraphy well still requires persistent practice and perseverance, and at the same time, it constantly enhances the heritage of traditional culture. * * * Encourage.
