How to buy a brush, how to choose a brush

Writing calligraphy is generally done with a wolf or a pen, (I personally recommend using a good pen, the pen is hard, and the water is sufficient.) )

The belly of the pen is fat, and the tip of the pen is sharp. The pen should not be too long, too long to make it stronger. If you have a template, try it and find a better flexibility. If you are a beginner, you can buy more than a dozen pieces of medium or large Kai.

Soak the new brush in warm water, lick the ink in the same direction, and do not go around in circles. Wash the pen when it is finished, hang it with the tip facing down and let it dry. Or roll it up with a pen curtain. Don't use the original pen sleeve and put it back on, it hurts the pen.

As for the inkstone, don't spend time grinding ink for beginners, just buy a bottle of calligraphy and painting ink from Zhonghua brand or Yide Pavilion, and use it on a small plate. (Remember it's calligraphy and painting ink, don't buy a bottle of ink back, you can't write.) ）

These tools have to be bought in a store that specializes in selling the four treasures of the study, and it is not good if the general stationery store is not complete. Specifically, you can ask the clerk and ask the clerk to introduce.

That's all I can say, and I have to find out the specifics slowly. It's not easy to find a satisfactory pen these days, and if you find a pen that you think is easy to write, you should go back and buy two more, because even if the same brand and the same pen, the quality of different batches is far from the same.

Good luck.

If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools.

The four treasures of a good study will have an effect on writing.

But for beginners, it's all about practicality.

As for the selection of brushes and ink, "Ping Oh Youtian" has been very detailed, so I won't go into detail here.

Inkstones are generally used for grinding ink ingots, whether to use ink or ink ingots, it depends on personal preference. Personally, I prefer to use an inkstone to sharpen ink, and I think this process is also a process of calming my mind.

Beginners can choose a practical inkstone, a small one, not expensive, buy an inkstone, she inkstone can be, the general practical inkstone is not expensive.

There happens to be a study four treasures industry ** in order to promote the forum, in doing a "my calligraphy and painting learning road" essay activity, the first prize is the study of the four treasures box, brushes, inkstones, ink ingots are available, very practical. The second prize is a brush, and the third prize is a calligraphy. It's easy to win a prize.

You can try to participate. Search for "Four Treasures of Chinese Scholars" and enter the "Scholarly Pavilion" section to participate.

Good luck!

Beginners must buy the pen belly full, the tip of the pen should also slide evenly, followed by gently read the nib part, the brush hair evenly tiled, and the pen barrel must be upright, do not bend. Maintenance of the brush: 1 before use to soak in water, can not damage the brush hairs, 2, during use, after dipping in the ink to follow the direction of the brush hair on the edge of the ink plate gently swing the pen, the brush hair evenly gathered, can not be poked against the back, less dip in ink, light pen.

4. After each use, baptize the pen in time, rinse the residual ink, and then put it in a ventilated place to dry, or store it in a special pen curtain.

Brushes should be selected according to the following four-point code wheel:

1. Sharp: When the pen is gathered together, the end should be sharp. The nib of the pen is easy to write and easy to write, which is easier to express.

Writers often call their pens "bald pen", but if the pen is not sharp, it will become a bald pen, and the spirit of writing will be lost. When choosing a new pen to buy a new pen, there is glue polymerization in the hairs, which is easy to distinguish. When inspecting the old pen, wet the pen first and gather the hairs to distinguish the baldness of the tip.

2. Qi: After the tip of the pen is moistened and flattened, the tip is flat. If the length is equal when pressed, there is no gap in the middle, and the pen is "ten thousand millimeters of force". Because the pen needs to be completely moistened, it is less likely to check this when purchasing.

3. Circle: refers to the shape of the pen as perfect as the jujube core, which means that the hair is sufficient. If there is enough hair, the pen is full of pen power when writing, and vice versa, it is thin and lacks pen power.

The pen is late to accompany Xinfeng to complete, and the pen can turn as expected. When purchasing, the hairs are glued together, whether it is perfect, take a closer look to know.

4. Jian: that is, the elasticity of the pen waist. Lift the pen under heavy pressure and return to its original shape. If the pen is elastic, it can be used freely; Generally speaking, rabbit hair and wolf hair are more elastic than sheep hair, and the book is also strong and upright. Regarding this point, after the run opens, press the pen again and lift it again, and the straight is healthy.

1) Sheep's hair. The nib is made of goat hair. The sheep's hair pen is relatively soft and absorbs a large amount of ink, which is suitable for writing round and thick dot paintings.

It is more durable than the wolf pen. This type of pen is mostly lake pens, which are relatively cheap. Generally, there are large block pen, Jingti (or called the pen), Lianfeng, Pingfeng, Dingfeng, Gaifeng, banner, jade shoots, magnolia rui, Jing Hawthorn and so on.

2) Wolf Brush. The nib is made from the hair on the weasel's tail. I take the rat tail from the Northeast as the most and weigh it'North Wolf Milli'、'Kanto Liaoo'。The wolf's pen is stronger than the sheep's pen, and it is suitable for writing and drawing, but it is not as durable as the sheep's pen, and it is also more expensive than the sheep's hair.

Common varieties are orchid bamboo, freehand, landscape, flowers, leaf tendons, clothing patterns, red beans, small Seiko, deer wolf hair painting and calligraphy (wolf hair is made of deer hair), leopard wolf hair (wolf hair is made of leopard hair), special Changfeng wolf hair, super quality Changfeng wolf hair, etc.

3) Zihao. The nib is made of rabbit fur and is named for its purple-black and shiny color. This kind of pen is upright, sharp and sharp, and the elasticity is stronger than that of the wolf, and the hare fur produced in Anhui is the best.

4) Both. The nib is made from two animal hairs with different rigidity and softness. Common species include sheep and wolves, sheep and purple, such as five purple and five sheep, seven purple and three sheep and so on.

The advantages of this kind of pen have the advantages of the sheep wolf pen, the rigidity and softness are moderate, and the ** is also moderate, which is commonly used by calligraphers and painters. There are two types: harmony type and heart quilt type.
