How to practice pen calligraphy

First of all, we should know the structural characteristics of the pen: the pen is composed of a nib, a tongue, a pen holder and a water storage tank with ink in it. Pen tips made of metal are usually divided into three types: those containing gold, those with iridium particles welded on them, and those without gold iridium particles. The tongue of the pen is tongue-shaped, and there is a primary water tank on one side near the pen tip, which is connected with the water storage pipe in the pen holder through a thin tube. The nib is usually made of hard plastic. The pen holder consists of an upper part and a lower part, both of which are tubular. The upper part is a pen cover, which protects the pen tip and prevents the ink from evaporating. Usually made of hard plastic or metal. The "water storage pipe" at the lower part of the pen holder is usually made of soft plastic or rubber. Secondly, we should know the types of pens: the nib is the most important part of pens. According to the different materials used to make the nib, pens can be divided into (1) gold pens. It is made of gold and silver alloy or steel. Gold nib has good elasticity and corrosion resistance. Writing with a golden pen is very comfortable and powerful, but it is more expensive. (2) Iridium pen. That is, the nib is welded with iridium particles. The nib has strong wear resistance, good hand feeling, elasticity and corrosion resistance second only to the gold pen, and the price is not expensive. (3) Ordinary pen. That is, a pen with a nib containing no gold and no iridium particles. This kind of pen is easy to wear and has poor elasticity, so it is rarely seen in the market. (4) calligraphy pen. It's the kind with a folded nib, preferably smooth and wear-resistant. One is "look". See if the nib is straight. Take the iridium pen as an example: it mainly depends on whether the iridium particles are symmetrical. The second is "trial writing". Write on paper with a pen tip to see whether it is smooth and comfortable, even in water, whether the writing lines are symmetrical. If it is the first time to practice calligraphy, it is recommended not to use a calligraphy pen. You can use an ordinary iridium pen. When practicing calligraphy for the first time, you should master the structure, from the structure of words to the coordination between words, and then to the mastery of the whole story, and then you can practice your spirit. Words are energetic, the king's domineering spirit is aura, and so on. For those who practice hard pen calligraphy for the first time, ordinary iridium pens are enough. When buying, pay attention to the symmetry and smoothness of the tip of the iridium package, and draw the word "8" on the back of the hand with a pen, which feels very smooth. At present, there is also a kind of craft pen with a certain radian on the market, that is, calligraphy pen, which is used to write the change of stroke thickness. A beginner practicing hard pen calligraphy should not practice with this pen from the beginning. It is best to practice "Qi" before using the calligraphy pen, otherwise it may be harmful to your calligraphy practice (of course, this cannot be absolute). With a good pen, we should pay attention to the correct use and maintenance. Hold the pen correctly when using; Be sure to tighten the pen sleeve after use to prevent the pen tip from being damaged and the ink from evaporating and condensing, which will cause the pen path to be blocked or blocked. In addition, after the pen is used for a period of time, it should be cleaned once to keep the waterway clear. Finally, you should choose Copybook for calligraphy according to your calligraphy foundation, cultivation and interest, and don't force yourself to practice copybooks that you don't like. If you don't like Pang Zhonghua's calligraphy, it's very painful to practice, and it's difficult to practice it well. When practicing pen writing for the first time, you should choose a font that is easy to master and not difficult for yourself, so that you can make progress and stick to it. In practice, we should constantly strengthen calligraphy theory's self-cultivation, so as to deeply understand the essence of calligraphy. Try to make your calligraphy style mature in the future. As for Lu Zhongnan's calligraphy, personally, it is still very good. If you can reach his calligraphy level, it should be said that it is also a happy event. In addition, I think whoever imitates calligraphy is not learning from him. When you reach a certain level, you must make a breakthrough and become a school of your own. From this point of view, the realm is all in oneself, and the mind and spirit are constantly cultivated in the process of practicing calligraphy. Part of the above answer is a quotation, and part of it is my feeling of learning calligraphy. I hope it will help you, and I wish you success!
