How to choose a brush

How to choose a good brush?

In China, there are three major centers in history: Hou Pen (Hebei Hengshui), Xuanbi (Anhui Xuancheng), and Lake Pen (Zhejiang Huzhou). Brushes produced in Shanghai, Suzhou, Beijing, Chengdu and other places are also well-known. At present, the most famous place for producing brush is called Hou pen in Houdian Village, Hengshui City, Hebei Province; there is also Huzhou, Shanshan Town, Wuxing County, Zhejiang Province, known as Lake Pen. A good brush has the characteristics of sharp, Qi, round and healthy, and it works freely.

Tip: When the pen is gathered, the tip should be sharp. The nib is easy to write and easy to express. Writers often refer to their pens as "bald pens," but when they are not pointed, they become bald pens. When buying a new pen, the vellus has a glue polymerization that is easy to distinguish. When checking the old pen, first wet the pen and gather the hair to distinguish the baldness.

Qi: After the pen tip is opened and flattened, the tip is flush. If it is even if it is flat, the length will be equal, and there will be no gaps in the middle. Because it is necessary to completely open the pen, it is more difficult to check this when purchasing.

Round: It means that the pen is perfectly filled with the shape of the jujube, which means that the hair is full. If the hair is full, the pen is full when writing, otherwise the body is thin and lacks pen power. The pen is perfect, and the pen is able to turn around. When you buy, there is glue in the hair, it is not complete, you can see it carefully.

Health: that is, the waist elastic; lift the pen and press it, then return to the original state. If the pen has elasticity, it can be used freely; in general, the rabbit is not as strong as the sheep, and the writing is strong and strong. In this regard, after the opening, the pen will be pressed again and the front will be healthy.

The four virtues refer to the function of the pen itself. When selecting the pen, we must also take into account the rubbings of Linyi. The so-called "use a pen used by a family, and write his word" also. To judge which type of pen you are using, it is best to look at his handwriting directly: the style is strong, the choice is healthy; the position is fascinating, the choice is soft; . The characteristics of the pen also affect the calligraphy that is written, so that it can be in the mood of calligraphy. Another point is the font size, writing large characters with a large pen, writing small characters with a small pen. Write a small pen and a fragile pen and you can't make it easy. If you write a small pen, you can kill the chicken with a knife.
