Why do you say that writing with a brush is good and writing with a hard pen is good? I think there are several reasons:
1. The brush is soft. Soft pens can be controlled, and hard pens will be easier to control.
2. The basic skills of brush calligraphy include brushwork, calligraphy, pen and ink, and composition. Hard pen is basically just a kind of writing method, and it is also learned from writing brush. One is the cognitive level of primary school students, the other is the knowledge content of college students. Hard pen in a narrow sense is just writing, without calligraphy.
A driver who can play well with big trucks, cars and motorcycles, and a driver who can only drive cars, who do you choose as your coach? ! !
Therefore, it is suggested that friends who like calligraphy can choose soft pens slowly at first, and slow is fast. Learn brush calligraphy well, kill two birds with one stone. Of course, it is best to find a teacher who has real kung fu in both regular script and running script.
Brush strokes, including holding and lifting. Holding a pen refers to the method of holding a pen. There are two fingering methods (also called dialing the lamp), three fingering methods, five fingering methods and so on. There is no clear writing. For example, the way Su Dongpo holds a pen is the same as the way we hold a pen now, which is different from most people's five-finger writing. A big pen cannot be sandwiched between two fingers. In addition, when writing on Android and writing on the wall, the posture of holding the pen will be adjusted accordingly. Holding a pen varies from person to person. As long as you can hold the pen and use it flexibly, you don't have to insist on consistency. Many people are worried about the pen holding posture. There is no need to be right or wrong! Contemporary calligraphers can write exquisite lower case letters with pens in their mouths; Zhao Wandong, a calligrapher in Changsha, has a disabled right hand and only three fingers. He also wrote beautiful calligraphy. They can't even hold a pen like ordinary people, let alone twist and turn it!
What suits you is the best!
The method of lifting a pen refers to the method of writing with a brush, that is, starting, writing and receiving a pen. Starting a pen can be divided into exposing the front, reversing the front, sharpening the pen, reversing the pen, etc. There are strokes, turns, and pressure increases. Pen collection includes Zangfeng pen collection, Lufeng pen collection, pen collection and so on. Calligraphers' understanding and control of brushwork are often revealed in brushwork!
If you want to write well, you must combine heart, pen, ink and paper!
The first difference between hard pen calligraphy and brush calligraphy lies in the different tools.
Hard-pen calligraphy is relatively simple for brush calligraphy, because brush calligraphy is softer and its brushwork will be rich, so it takes more efforts to write brush calligraphy well.
Hard pen calligraphy is not difficult to master, and it can be used everywhere in our lives. The difficulty of hard pen calligraphy is structure.
To write brush calligraphy well, we should not only master rich strokes, but also grasp the structure and overall composition of fonts, which requires a stronger understanding of calligraphy. Applying this ability to hard-pen calligraphy, it is easy to write hard-pen calligraphy.
Structurally speaking, the structure of brush and hard pen calligraphy is the same, and the original source of hard pen calligraphy is brush calligraphy.
The earliest hard-pen calligraphers in China were also brush calligraphers, and their brush calligraphy is also very good at present.
