After the brush is used up, the remaining ink should be washed immediately to avoid sticking to the pen tip and hung on the pen to maintain the elasticity of the pen tip. In case of sticking ink or using a new pen, it can be soaked in warm water. It is not allowed to tear it off or soak it in boiling water to avoid breaking the front and turning around. New pens should be packed in cartons or wooden cases, and some mothballs should be put to prevent them from being eaten by insects, often dry and moldy.
First of all, write a good pen
When opening the newly bought brush, in order to let the nib spread out, it is necessary to soak the nib in warm water for a few minutes. Never use boiling water with too high a temperature to avoid scalding the nib. Moreover, the soaking time should not be too long, just let the nib open completely, and don't melt the gum of the brush root, otherwise it will become a brush.
If the pen tip is not open, you can gently pinch it open by hand. Of course, violent operation is not allowed. After this work is finished, just wash the glue and you can start using it.
Second, manage a pen well
Writing brush is a necessary work before writing. You can't write with ink as soon as you get it. You must soak the pen in clear water first, and don't soak it for a long time, so as not to gel the root of the pen. Soak the nib with water, then hang the pen upside down until the nib recovers its toughness, which takes about ten minutes, and then dip it in ink to write, but the amount of ink should not be too much or too little, just a moderate amount.
Because if you write too much, you will leave ink balls, and you will be very tired, which will affect your practice. Too little will make it difficult to transport the pen, and finally it will be easy to break the ink.
Third, wash the pen.
After writing, the ink on the pen should be cleaned, and so should the Lian Bi root. Because ink has colloid, if it is not washed off, the pen will stick firmly with ink and colloid after drying, which is easy to damage the brush. Therefore, when the ink dries, the pen tip will become hard, and the pen tip will be easily damaged. If you don't wash it for a long time, it will be easily destroyed.
Or, after writing, you can continue to dip in water, continue to write casually on the paper, and use up the remaining ink in the pen. Doing so can kill two birds with one stone by washing the pen during writing. For how to wash the brush, you can generally find a container of suitable size, like those unwanted beverage bottles, and soak the pen in it for dozens of seconds before cleaning.
Doing so can fully melt the ink inside. But be careful not to use it for too long, it is easy to melt the glue stuck to the nib, and the pen tube is easy to absorb water and crack.
When washing a pen, don't turn the brush upside down, let the water wash the nib directly. You need to put the nib down, move it gently with your fingers and let the water wash it. Don't rub rough. It's almost time to wash. Gently shake the pen, shake off the excess water, gently press the pen with your fingers, and then find a clean towel or paper towel to absorb the water.
If you need to wash more than one brush, you can soak the pens together, but you need to wash them one by one. Don't throw it all away like washing vegetables and clothes, it's easy to wash. Moreover, due to the different ink absorption capacity and size, each brush contains different amounts of ink. When mixed together, it is easy to make some brushes clean, while others are not clean.
Fourth, hang up the pen
Wash the pen and save it. Air-dry the brush in the shade to keep its original shape and characteristics. Drying is the most important way to preserve pens. Some friends may cherish the writing brush and don't want it to get dusty, so they put a plastic cap on it. But this is not good. If the pen tip is not dry, it will be difficult to breathe, and it will also make the pen tip bifurcate.
So the best way is to dry the water in the pen and hang it on the pen rack. When wet, it is not good to buckle the nib upside down in the pen container, which is easy to open the gel and make the nib fall off easily.
Pay attention to the above four steps, and you should be able to learn how to maintain your brush. These methods are actually quite easy to do, and it is not difficult. As long as everyone uses even force when writing, gently clean up the residual ink when washing the pen, and don't let the accumulated water affect the glue of the pen tip when drying, the brush can be used for a long time.
Extended data:
A good brush has four characteristics: sharp, neat, round and healthy, and it is handy to use.
Tip: The tip of a brush. When the fingers are close together, the ends should be sharp. The pen tip is easy to write and express. Writers often refer to their pens as "bald pens", but if they are not sharp, they will become bald pens, and there will be no spirit in writing books. When buying a new pen, the hair is glued and polymerized, which is easy to distinguish. When checking the old pen, first wet the pen and gather the hair, then you can distinguish the sharp baldness.
Qi: The brush is neat. Refers to the wetting and flattening of the nib, and the nib is uniform. If the brush is neat, the length of the brush is equal at ordinary times, and there is no gap, then it is "ten thousand Li Qi" when writing. Because the pen needs to be completely wet, it is difficult to check this when buying it.
Round: The brush is round. It means that the pen is as perfect as a jujube pit, which means that the hair is sufficient. If you have more hair, you will have enough pen power to write, otherwise you will lose weight and lack pen power. The pen is perfect. The pen can turn. When shopping, there is glue in your hair. Is it perfect? Just take a closer look.
Student: Brush student. That is, the elasticity of the pen waist; Press hard, lift the pen, and then return to its original state. If the pen is flexible, it can be used freely; Generally speaking, rabbit hair and wolf hair are more elastic than wool, and their writing is firm and firm. In this regard, press the pen after wetting, and the front is straight and healthy.
Four virtues refer to the function of the pen itself, and we should also consider the copybook when choosing the pen. The same is true of the so-called "write his own words with a pen that someone has used". The best way to judge what kind of pen to use is to look at his handwriting directly: if the style is strong, choose Hao Jian; If you are charming and plump, choose soft; Hard and soft, and then choose double brush. The characteristics of the pen also affect the written calligraphy, thus achieving the wonderful scenery of calligraphy.
Another point is the size of the font. Write big words in capital letters and small words in lowercase letters. Small pen writing big characters is vulnerable to attack, so it can't be self-sufficient, and it's useless to write small characters with large pen.
