The explanation of frustrated pen in Ci Hai is that frustrated pen is a kind of calligraphy pen, that is, it is lifted slightly after meals, rotated with the pen tip, and used in folding and picking.
For example, there are two ways to write "horizontal folding and vertical hook" in regular script. After writing a horizontal stroke, the pen pauses, then gently lifts it to make the nib turn down and go straight. The turning point here is to write on the hook with a pen, pause the pen for a while, and then carry it back to pick out the small hook. The hook here is a pen.
Pay attention to the nib when writing. The nib is at the top right and sideways! After writing, don't forget an action. First, stroke the pen to the right, that is, move the whole to the right. Prepare to push the belly of the pen, and the pen will unfold well. See a little gap leaking out, then turn the pen and push the pen belly up to the right.
Thick strokes are different from fine strokes, but the reason is the same. Everyone has an action of pressing the pen as a whole and then moving the nib after writing. It is very important to press hard before moving the pen. It is simply to press the pen hard and then move the nib as a whole. Sometimes it is easier to draw fine strokes because the pen is not firmly pressed.
After writing, hold the pen firmly and make a slight stroke, and at the same time, raise the pen, and the strokes will be adjusted, horizontally, vertically, skimming and pressing, and the same is true! Just use the pen in a different direction! This is a way to adjust the stroke.
The Historical Background of China s Calligraphy;
As a writing tool, the brush has a very long history. As early as Neolithic painted pottery, there were traces of brush. Although the writing brush had not been seen before the Western Zhou Dynasty, some signs of using a pen can be found in prehistoric painted pottery patterns of Shang Dynasty and Oracle Bone Inscriptions. During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the brush was widely used to write bamboo slips and silk books.
This shows that the brush originated before Shang Dynasty. The earliest writing brush can be traced back to about two thousand years ago. The writing brush of the Spring and Autumn Period was found in the tomb of Zeng Houyi in Leigudun, Suizhou City, Hubei Province. It is the earliest discovered pen and a precious material left by ancient times.
By the Han Dynasty, the pen was already exquisite, and Lu Yi was a master at that time. Besides rabbit hair, there are wool, deer hair, raccoon hair and wolf hair. , both soft and hard. At the same time, the texture and decoration of the pen tube are also more abundant.
