Integrated pen, rough edge paper and Yuan calligraphy paper. The main feature of the Jianhao pen is that it has moderate softness and hardness, which is especially suitable for beginners. For beginners, it is best to use practice paper such as rough-edged paper and Yuanshu paper to learn calligraphy. When you first start learning calligraphy, you don’t need to use particularly good paper to practice, so as not to waste paper.
Written brushes can generally be divided into three types: soft brushes, hard brushes and mixed brushes. The writing style of the hard pen is strong. Such as: wolf hair, mountain horse, ox ear hair, rat whiskers, mountain rabbit, deer hair brush.
The pen is soft. Such as: Yanghao pen. The Jianhao pen is composed of hard and soft hairs, combining hardness and softness. The writing style is between hard and soft.
The brushes are soft, especially the long-edge brushes. After pressing down, the pen falls apart and cannot be bounced up. It is difficult to master, which is not conducive to the cultivation of the habit of taking the initiative to exert force. At this time, it all depends on the writer's pen-handling skills to adjust the pen edge.
The hard pen is easier to use. Due to its high elasticity, when the pen is pressed down and then lifted up, the tip of the pen can return to its original condensed state, so it can be raised and lowered freely, which is quite handy.
When using rough-edged paper, it is best to use handmade rough-edged paper, which is rough on both sides. If it is machine-made rough-edged paper, it is recommended to use the rougher one for writing. The advantage is that it can be exercised. Improve your pen strength, increase friction, and develop your ability to feel the paper and write.
