The specific names of pens vary from pen factory to pen factory. You can consult the staff of the painting and calligraphy shop.
Question 3: What brush should beginners use to learn calligraphy? Hello, I am a calligraphy lover and won the third prize in the national painting and calligraphy competition.
Let me answer your questions one by one:
I hope it will help you:
What kind of brush do you use, the big one or the small one?
Start using the compatibility of wolf hair and wool (double brush), don't choose too big, just thumb;
What is this ink for? Do you want to use an inkstone, the one with some ink?
Ink can be used in the cupboard, and it must be mixed with water, otherwise it will stagnate, which is unfavorable to the pen-making industry; Just use a small plate for inkstone, which is easy to wash every time you finish writing;
How good is the edge paper? How about edge paper with good ink absorption and smooth surface?
Wool paper will do. You can buy thin rice paper if you can, but the price is more expensive.
What copybook is better for beginners? You'd better introduce one.
Yan Zhenqing is recommended. I chose Liu Gongquan at first. Later, the teacher told me that it was difficult for Liu Ti to become a famous figure. Practice Liu's body later.
What do you mean, copy, read and paste? Is there a sequence of posting, copying and reading?
Pro is to write in contrast, and copying is to write in the shadow covered with paper.
Suggest copying before coming;
Ask me any questions at any time. I'm happy to communicate ~ ~ ~
I wish you an early calligrapher!
Question 4: What's the best pen to start writing with? Use "Yidege" or "Cao Sugong" as ink (plastic soft bottles on the market have a faint fragrance), and don't use the "starlight" spleen of glass bottles, which is very penetrating and stinky. It is best to have an inkstone, because the ink bought is thick and dry, so mix the ink in the inkstone with water and then grind it with ink blocks. Ink block can be made of Hu Kaiwen with better quality. This inkstone is not very good, just so-so. You can also take a plate or something and hold the ink without grinding it. Dilute the ink with a little water. Don't pour too much ink at a time, it's too wasteful to finish, just add some water. If you add too much, it will seep out.
Paper is made of tassel paper, which is economical. It is best to use untested draft paper. Rough paper is more delicate and cheaper. When practicing, fold the paper in half, and when writing, you can align the words with reference to the crease.
Beginners should not use rice paper. One is that rice paper is expensive, and the other is that rice paper permeates quickly, which beginners can't master.
You can start with Tang steles (regular script), and don't use single-character copybooks (single-character copybooks are the kind used by primary school students, with nine squares drawn). In addition, you can also start with Lishu (Han Li), which is easier to get started. That's why you don't choose plaid fringed paper. Inscriptions are written vertically, and the vertical folding of fringed paper is exactly the writing style of regular script and running script. Starting from the inscription, in addition to practicing strokes and words, you can also learn the composition structure (how to put a coherent word between words).
This paper introduces several inscriptions: Mysterious Pagoda Monument by Liu Gongquan, Monument to Shence Army, Monument to Duota by Yan Zhenqing, Monument to Diligence, Monument to Liquan in Jiucheng Palace by Ou Yangxun, Monument to Yiying by Han Li, Zhang Qianbei, Cao Quanbei and Ode to Shimen. There is also Preface to Tang Sanzang, written by "Monk Huairen" who collected Wang Xizhi's words. The most important thing to choose a copywriting template is to look at your own preferences and favorite fonts, so that you will be interested in copywriting.
The pen is a "lake pen". Personally, I feel that the pens of No.2 Hubi Factory are the best, and the brand name is "Lei Ying". The skill of choosing a brush can be found on the Internet. A good pen is "sharp, round, neat and healthy". Beginners practice regular script, choose Yang Hao's "middle" or "middle and long before", write it on the label of the stationery store and engrave it on the pen. Different kinds of pens have different uses. If you choose the right pen, it will be very useful.
The pen is the most important. The maintenance of the pen is also very important: don't write with the newly bought pen immediately. Soak the nib in water all night and melt the glue, or a good pen will be destroyed immediately. Remember to clean it after each writing and shake it gently in the water. You can put your hand in the water and gently rub the bristles on your hand. If you use tap water, the pen tip should face down. When writing, don't touch the whole pen with ink, only touch the ink of the nib, about one-third of the ink. If the bristles are dry and used for writing, first soak the pen in water for a period of time, so that the bristles can drink enough water, writing is smooth, and it is not easy to destroy the good state of the brush.
In addition, you can also buy a "felt" (available in stationery stores) and put it under the paper when writing. You can also use a newspaper pad or cloth.
Hehe, try to relax. When you are a beginner, you don't need to buy too good tools or everything. Just order casually (if you don't want to practice writing one day, you won't waste it). I wish you a happy study. *^_^*
Question 5: How do beginners choose a writing brush? There are many kinds of brushes. Generally speaking, writing pens can be divided into three categories: soft pens, hard pens and gel pens. Soft pens, such as wool and chicken feathers. Hard pens include purple hair (rabbit hair), wolf hair, mouse hair and so on. Neutral (neither soft nor hard) pens are called "double brush", and there are two kinds: sheep purple and sheep wolf.
1. Brush type:
● Hard pen: vigorous and powerful pen. Such as: wolf hair, mountain horse, cow ear hair, moustache, mountain rabbit, deer brush.
● Soft brush: Soft brush. Such as: Yang Hao pen.
● Double-tube brush: both soft and hard, both rigid and soft. The brushwork is between rigid and soft. Such as: long flow, wishful thinking, suitable for beginners.
2. Brush selection:
A good brush should have four virtues: sharp, neat, round and healthy.
● nib-when the pen is aggregated, the nib should be able to close the nib.
● Evenness-Squeeze the nib with water to make the hair of the nib neat and tidy.
● Round-Around the belly of the pen holder, the pen holder is full, round and conical, not flat or thin.
● Health-the bristles are elastic, easy to fold after being scattered, and the brushwork should be healthy.
For beginners, if you use a hard brush from the beginning, it will be easier to pick up the pen without much skill, because the pen will help you a lot, but over time, you can only use a hard brush. Once you pick up the sheep's hair, you will feel unable to move. On the contrary, if you practice calligraphy with sheep hair when you are a beginner, although it is difficult at first, you must use the method of lifting the front to write qualified strokes, but you also learn the method of using soft pens. With the increase of practice time, you will gradually become handy and use it freely. At this time, if you pick up a hard brush to write, you will feel relaxed.
The ancients also had a lot of experience in the use of pens. I don't think it is easy to buy a good and expensive pen when I am a beginner, but I advocate using a bad pen, because if you can write good words with a bad pen, you will be more comfortable and write better with a good pen. On the contrary, if you start with a good pen, you will only use a good pen all your life. Once you encounter a poor pen, you will not be able to write well. Of course, you can't practice calligraphy with a rotten pen, which will make it more difficult for beginners. Ou Yangxun, a great calligrapher in the early Tang Dynasty, recorded that "if you don't choose paper or pen, you will achieve your goal", which was praised by Yu Shinan of the same age.
In addition, from the economic point of view, the authentic wolf brush is very expensive, the good "big orchid bamboo" costs one or two hundred yuan, the ordinary sheep brush only costs two or three yuan, and a little better five or six yuan is enough. And because the pen is hard, easy to wear and tear, and the use time is not long, while the pen is soft and durable. It is economical for beginners to buy a wool pen.
Before buying a pen, you should also know the model of the brush. Brushes are divided into small letters, medium letters and large characters due to different styles, and the biggest ones are screen pens, couplet pens, bucket pens and planting pens. Because the name and brand of each pen factory are different, its size is also different. Beginners can buy a pen with a long front end, about four or five centimeters in length and about one centimeter in diameter. Such a brush can write in block letters 7 cm square. More suitable for people who have just learned calligraphy.
Learning calligraphy is a very good thing. 12 years old self-taught for more than ten years and benefited a lot. I hope you can pass on this hobby and wish you success in your study! Be sure to keep practicing, see more and practice more.
Question 6: I want to practice calligraphy. What do you want to prepare? When you start writing calligraphy, you should first prepare a writing brush, ink, a plate or ink box with a deep inkstone, a felt cushion table with a suitable size, and various papers for practicing calligraphy, such as tassel paper and meta-book paper. Pay attention to using rice paper or leather paper. There are many brands of brushes. If you are enthusiastic about practicing calligraphy, you can buy one with higher price and quality, and choose pens according to different copybooks. It is more appropriate to choose seal script, official script and regular script when you start practicing calligraphy. Many of the famous posts are representative: {seal script} Stone Sanpan, Mao, Taishan stone carving, Three Sorrow and Three Music Stickers, Deng and Wu Changshuo ink. {Lishu} There are many historical sites in Zhang Qianbei, Cao Quanbei, Chen Shi, Shimen Song and Huashan. Ou, Yan, Liu and Zhao are all famous. You can choose according to your own preferences. I recommend that you practice Chu Suiliang's classic Yin Fujing in the early Tang Dynasty, which is very distinctive.
Question 7: What brush does the calligrapher use? You can use "Wolf Hair Small Case", "Seven Purple Three Sheep" or "Double Writing Volume" to write small cases. You can choose "Yang Hao Big Case" or "Yulanrui" or "Wolf Hair" or "Double Writing Brush". Write running script and cursive script with long sheep hair. Write seal script and official script with double brush or wolf brush. The specific names of pens vary from pen factory to pen factory. You can consult the staff of the painting and calligraphy shop.
Question 8: What are the stresses of writing brush in calligraphy? In calligraphy, the emphasis on writing brush is to choose writing brush;
There are many kinds of brushes. As far as raw materials and characteristics are concerned, it can be divided into three categories: soft brush, hard brush and double-sided brush. Soft hair is made from the hair of goats and wild antelope, collectively referred to as sheep hair, which is soft and round when writing. The raw materials of hard hair are the hair on the tail of weasel and the hair of mountain rabbit-purple hair and wolf hair. They are elastic, and the words written are sharp and powerful. Concurrent luxury is the proportion of soft and hard hair. For beginners, most of them use double brushes.
There are brushes of different sizes. The smallest pen is called ghost pen, followed by fine print, Chinese characters and big characters ... The largest pen weighs dozens of pounds, and the pen holder is thicker than the bowl. The writer seems to sweep the road with a big broom. So, how did such a complicated brush come from?
Types of writing brushes
The classification of brushes mainly depends on the size, as well as the type, source and shape of bristles.
Brushes can be simply divided into small letters, middle letters and capitals according to their sizes.
According to the types of bristles, they can be divided into soft hair, hard hair and double-stranded brush.
According to the source, it can be divided into: tire brush, wolf brush, rabbit shoulder purple brush, deer brush, chicken brush, duck brush, brush, pig brush, mouse brush, tiger brush, ox ear brush and so on.
(1) Ranunculus. This pen is made of goat hair. Wool pen is soft in texture and absorbs a large amount of ink, which is suitable for writing with round and solid stippling. More durable than a wolf's brush. Most of these pens are lake pens, which are relatively cheap. Generally, there are big pens, Jingti (or pen lifting), Lianfeng, Feng Ping, Ding Feng, Gaifeng, flagpole, Jade Bamboo Shoots, Yulanrui and Jingzha.
(2) Wolf brush. This pen is made of the hair on the tail of a weasel. Rat tails produced in Northeast China are the most common, and they are called Beilanghao and Guandong Liao Wei. Wolf hair is stronger than wool pen and suitable for writing and drawing, but it is not as durable as wool pen and more expensive. Common varieties are Zhu Lan, freehand brushwork, landscape, flowers, Ye Jin, costume patterns, red beans, small seiko, deer and wolf hair calligraphy and painting (made of wolf hair and deer hair), leopard and wolf hair (made of wolf hair and leopard hair), special long-peak wolf hair, super long-peak wolf hair and so on.
(3) font size. The writing pen is made of rabbit hair, so it is named for its purple, black and bright colors. This kind of pen is tall and straight, sharp and sharp, and its elasticity is stronger than wolf hair. Rabbit hair produced in Anhui is the best.
(4) Double-sided brush. This pen is made of two kinds of animal hair with different hardness and softness. Common varieties are double-stranded brush, wolf sheep, double-stranded brush and purple sheep, such as five-purple five-sheep and seven-purple three-sheep. This pen has the advantages of both sheep and wolves, moderate rigidity and moderate price, and is commonly used by painters and painters. There are two types: harmonic type and quilt type.
According to the shape, it can be divided into round type, pointed type and luxurious type.
In addition, according to the length of strokes, the brush has different performances such as long strokes, middle strokes and short strokes. Long front is easy to draw beautiful lines, short front is easy to make lines dignified and heavy, and it is appropriate to draw mountains and rivers with centers. According to the size of the nib, brushes are divided into three types: small, medium and large. All kinds of landscapes should be prepared. Generally, a small landscape, a big landscape, a little white cloud and a big white cloud, and a bigger bucket pen will do. How sharp the new pen is, it is only suitable for drawing thin lines, and the effect of rubbing, wiping and knocking the old pen is good. Some painters like to use a bald pen, and the dotted line is not vigorous and simple. A good brush has four characteristics: round, neat, sharp and healthy, and it is handy to use. Brush should be cleaned in time after use to avoid dry ink damage.
Generally, the raw materials for making pen containers are gold, silver, ivory, glass, rosewood and bamboo.
There are two centers in history: Xu Anbi (Xuancheng, Anhui) and Hubi (Huzhou, Zhejiang). Now the brushes produced in Shanghai, Suzhou, Beijing, Chengdu and other places also enjoy high reputation. At present, the most famous origin of brush is the lake pen in Shanlian Town, Xing Wu County, Zhejiang Province, which is called the lake pen.
Pens have "four virtues", namely "sharp, neat, round and healthy", which are introduced one by one below:
Sharp: When the pens are gathered together, the ends should be sharp. The pen tip is easy to write and express. Writers often refer to their pens as "bald pens", but if they are not sharp, they will become bald pens, and there will be no spirit in writing books.
When buying a new pen, the hair is glued and polymerized, which is easy to distinguish. When checking the old pen, first wet the pen and gather the hair, then you can distinguish the sharp baldness.
Qi: refers to the pen tip after it is flattened with water. If the brush is neat, the length of the brush is equal at ordinary times, and there is no gap, then it is "ten thousand Li Qi" when writing. Because the pen needs to be completely wetted, it is difficult to check this when buying.
Round: it means that the pen is as perfect as a jujube pit, which means that the hair is sufficient. If you have enough hair, when you write ... >>
Question 9: What paper is used for brush calligraphy? The surface of the brush calligraphy paper is flat, even, white, soft and elastic. When there is a lot of ink in the skeleton work, it will not run away and has the function of ink support. It is the best paper for practicing writing brush.
Question 10: What do I need to write in Chinese calligraphy? Brush (use what you are familiar with, just practice more)
Felt (nothing is needed, as long as it is durable)
Inkstone (plates are also acceptable)
Ink (personally recommended "Yidege")
Xuan paper (I think it should be wool woven paper if you just practice)
One thing to mention about rice paper:
1. Sheng Xuan is used to it and absorbs water easily. It feels good.
2. Familiar propaganda is not easy to absorb water, so write quickly, or it will melt.
3. Half-cooked publicity is also good, but it is suitable for writing in small font.
Your teacher should compare these with you roughly.
It depends on your proficiency! Come on! Get good grades! ! Hmm. How interesting
As for rice paper
The main raw materials for papermaking are mostly plant fibers, mainly bamboo and wood, and the fiber of wood is flexible, so the paper made has strong ink absorption; Bamboo fiber is brittle and hard, and the paper made of it has weak ink absorption, so it can be divided into two categories:
Weak blotting paper:
Mostly made of bamboo fiber, the paper is smooth, the ink floats on the surface, and it is not easy to open slowly, so the color is bright. Paper-based, such as Cheng Xin's Tang paper, Tao Jin, and today's foreign paper also belong to it.
Tang paper:
The famous paper used by Li Houzhu in the Southern Tang Dynasty is as famous as Tinggui Ink. It is characterized by smoothness and compactness, and is known as "as slippery as spring ice and as dense as a seal". It is the top grade of weak blotting paper, which is almost called the kind of jade water paper, and the inferior one is called cold gold. "Light and crisp" is its characteristic.
Shu:
It is said that the ancient papermaking in Cai Lun spread to West Shu, and the Shu kingdom produced by it has been quite famous since the Tang Dynasty, such as Xue Tao and Xie Gong. It is said that its water quality is pure, so its paper is great. "Xie Gong" is named after the teacher's thick work, because it has ten colors, also known as ten colors. "Snow Pottery" is named after pottery, but this kind of colored paper, although made according to the ancient method, is easy to dye and cannot be circulated for a long time, and is only used for entertainment.
Tibetan scripture paper:
Tibetan scripture paper is the paper used by Buddhist temples to write or print Buddhist scriptures, also known as Jinsu, and there are two kinds of yellow and white.
Clay gold and wax commonly used by people in Ming and Qing dynasties are rare today, and even the bottom surface light is rare. Bird paper made in Japan is widely used now, but it is expensive, not durable and really not practical.
Strong blotting paper:
Most of them are wood fibers with strong ink absorption and rough surface. When ink falls on paper, it will spread easily. Writing is often made of paste or wax, the luster is not as bright as paper, and it is more subtle, mainly based on Xuan paper. Although it appeared late, it has replaced paper and become the most valuable writing paper.
Xuan Paper and Imitation Xuan:
Today, the most valuable writing paper is the poster of the jade plate. Lime for yubanxuan, mulberry, short wood, straw and sandalwood skin has the strongest ink absorption and the best texture. Xuan paper is named after Xuancheng, Anhui Province, but Xuancheng itself does not produce paper, and the surrounding local paper is declared as scattered land.
Let's continue to talk about the precious jade plate announcement. This kind of paper can't be used by everyone, because it has strong ink absorption, so it is hard for people who use it slowly: as long as they stop writing, the ink will seep out and form a big ink ball! However, some people use its characteristics to write distinctive characters, such as Bao's light ink book and Qi Baishi's freehand brushwork. Because rice paper is too ink-absorbing and difficult to write, some people have improved it: either calendering, adding glue alum or adding pulp. After improvement, the ink absorption of rice paper is slightly reduced, making it easier to write.
It depends on how well you practice your calligraphy. Just choose the right one.
Buy a lake pen. 10 yuan is a good pen. Remember?
