Extended information:
The most popular type of langhao pen is the rat tail produced in the Northeast, which is called "Northern Langhao" and "Guandong Liaowei". The pen of wolf hair is stronger than that of sheep's hair, so it is better for writing and painting. The wolf hair is actually the "hao" of the weasel. Only the tip of the weasel's tail can be used to make a pen. It is tough in nature, second only to rabbit hair but better than sheep hair. It is also a strong pen.
Sheep hair is made from the whiskers or tail hairs of green sheep or yellow sheep. The most important thing in calligraphy is brush strength. The hair is soft and has no edge, and the calligraphy is also "soft and boneless", so calligraphers in the past dynasties rarely used it. The use of sheep's hair brushes only became popular after the Southern Song Dynasty, and it was only after the early Qing Dynasty that it was widely adopted. Because the Qing Dynasty valued mellowness and subtlety, not showing off one's talents and promoting one's own, only the soft and plump wool could meet the requirements of the time and was widely used.
