The specialty of calligraphy is to practice brush characters or fountain pen characters

The so-called calligraphy should be orthodox with a soft pen, that is, a brush character, and a hard pen character (including fountain pen characters) in the strict sense does not belong to calligraphy in the strict sense. So, if you learn calligraphy, it's calligraphy.

The brush is soft pen calligraphy, and the words written by hard pens such as fountain pen words, pencil words, and ballpoint pen words are hard pen calligraphy, which are called calligraphy. However, traditional Chinese calligraphy refers to brush calligraphy. However, the practice of both types of calligraphy can also play a complementary role, that is, practicing hard-pen calligraphy can help improve soft-pen calligraphy.

Nowadays, when we talk about calligraphy, we generally refer to a hard pen, but in the case of calligraphy, it is a soft pen.

Generally speaking, calligraphy refers to the soft pen calligraphy specialty - the brush. There are two types of calligraphy, hard-pen calligraphy and soft-pen calligraphy. Pen calligraphy evolved from brush calligraphy to facilitate everyday writing.

Brush characters should be counted as (soft pen) calligraphy, right? Now no one carries a brush with them, which is inconvenient. Fountain pen writing can also be used as (hard pen) calligraphy, right? Moreover, it is more convenient and more commonly used in daily life.

If you want to learn, it is recommended that you learn brush words, because pen words are well written, not necessarily brush words are well written, but brush words are well written, pen words must be written well!

Hope you can!

If you want to write well in a short time, you can practice pen writing; If you want to practice the art of calligraphy, it is better to choose to practice calligraphy.

Practicing the pen is practicing calligraphy, and practicing the brush is calligraphy. Practicing calligraphy and calligraphy are two very different concepts.

The purpose of practicing calligraphy is to pursue the standardization of writing, and the main thing is to have a correct and beautiful shape; Calligraphy, on the other hand, is based on practicing characters, paying attention to the connotation of words, paying attention to the taste of pen and ink, and paying attention to the unity of spirit and form.

Generally, if you just start practicing calligraphy, you can start by practicing the pen without any calligraphy foundation. This is mainly because the hard pen has strong practicability, easy to practice, and can be seen everywhere in daily work, study, and life, and can be practiced with only a portable fountain pen.

Secondly, hard pen writing has a strong educational significance. The teacher's chalk words are a kind of embodiment of hard pen words, and a good-looking chalk word will have an impact on students in a subtle way. Similarly, hard pen writing is basically regarded as a manifestation of personal cultivation and an important way to express personal habits.

In fact, although fountain pen characters and brush characters are two different font systems, there are still inextricable similarities between all the penmanship and structure. Therefore, whether it is a hard pen or a brush letter, as long as it is practiced well, it will be helpful to practice calligraphy later.

Whether it is practicing brush writing or pen writing, you must be persistent, insist on practicing some every day, and you will definitely make progress.

Sheep's hair. Beginners must use sheep's hair, sheep's hair is soft, and it can be used to practice pen power. This view seems to make some sense, but in fact it is unfounded.

According to research, the use of sheep's hair to make pens was only popular after the Southern Song Dynasty; It was widely adopted, but it was after the early Qing Dynasty. Because the Qing generation paid attention to mellow and subtle, and did not show oneself, only the soft sheep's hair could meet the requirements of the time and was widely used. "I've been using it until now.

It mainly depends on which regular script to practice.

The Yan body is suitable for using sheep hair, while the willow body is suitable for using wolf hair, and Zhao body is relatively suitable for using both.

I bought it online, and there is a special one to buy a Huzhou pen on it, which is affordable and very good.

To learn the words with a pen, beginners first prepare large letters, medium letters, to write small characters when adding small letters or both. Wolves are expensive, and beginners may not be ready. The sheep is soft, and the wolf is rigid.

Rigidity and softness are coherent. After practicing, I will add more after another depending on the situation. The size of the pen should depend on the size of the word, rather the pen is slightly larger, the writing is more generous, and the pen is small and susceptible to thinness.

If you still don't understand, continue to ask questions, and the old man will know everything).

Look at the weight of your pen, use wolf hair when the pen is heavy, and use sheep hair when the pen is light. Of course, there are also miscellaneous. Let's take a look at the different materials of brushes.

Helpful, practicing any style of writing and any font requires mastery and understanding of the knots and gestures of the characters, which are common to all kinds of calligraphy.

Secondly, the brush character in the calligraphy world is actually recognized as a higher level (from the requirements of various calligraphy associations for membership conditions), due to the softness of the brush and the ease of flow of ink, it attaches great importance to the training requirements of the pen, if the brush is really practiced, at least the stability of the hand will not be bad, and the control of the writing speed will not be bad.

The two tools of calligraphy are actually the same in terms of fundamental requirements, for example, in the knot is inseparable from the understanding and mastery of the historical evolution of the font structure, such as the pen is generally drawn horizontally and horizontally, and the virtual and real requirements are always pressed (the stroke part is real) and turned lightly (the gesture turns to the sedan silver fold and the connection is virtual) and so on, but there are some differences in the emphasis and change.

Calligraphy is generally practiced with a brush or a hard brush, because the tip of the brush is usually made of better wool, and then supplemented by general wool (such as bristles) or nylon. In addition, there are three main types of hard hair: wolf hair, purple hair and chicken hair.

The hard slag section of the pen is made of rat whiskers and pig bristles, the pen is elastic, easy to use, the writing is sharp, the dot painting is thin, and it is appropriate to write the lines of small Kai and Chinese painting. With hard millimeters as the main part, there are seven purple and three sheep and the like, or such as the wolf and sheep double material, and the soft millimeter is mainly mixed with sheep hair, pig bristles, nylon, etc., the quality is also good, and it is not expensive.
