I want to practice brush calligraphy. What do I need to prepare?

To prepare calligraphy stationery, refers to: pen, ink, paper, ink stone, paper cutter, paperweight, water bowl.

1, pen

1.1, the brush standard pointed, flush, round, healthy;

Qualified brushes have four standards: "sharp", "flush", "round ", "Qi", "round", "healthy", collectively known as the four virtues of the pen.

Tip refers to the tip of the brush to be pointed, in order to write a fine point and pen changes; Qi refers to the pen hair spread out when it is flush, and the hair color is relatively uniform and neat, to ensure that the strokes of the light and heavy proportionality; round refers to the pen full of ink when the appearance of a conical, feel round and full, reflecting the ink storage capacity of the brush, storage of ink enough, the strokes of the full and powerful to avoid undue flying white; Jian refers to the elasticity of the pen, elasticity is good! In order for the brush to perform freely.

1.2, the classification of brushes suitable for hard hair or part-hair

From the pen hair, brushes are coarsely divided into hard hair, soft hair, part-hair three.

Commonly seen on the market hard hair made of weasel hair or rabbit hair, respectively, known as "wolf hair" "purple hair". Flexible enough, ink storage performance is slightly worse, need to master the amount of ink absorption, can be used freely.

Soft hair is mostly made of wool, soft and rounded. High-quality soft hair ink storage capacity, rich expression; poor quality can be so bad that there is no lower limit.

Equalizer is often made of soft hair as the core, and hard hair is long and overlaid on it. Take the elasticity of the hard hair and soft hair ink storage advantages. High-quality part-hair takes the best of both worlds, while low-quality part-hair takes the worst of both worlds.

2, ink?

No precipitation residue, smooth writing, ink color uniformity, smell fragrant; stagnant pen can be added alcohol

Ink ingots, ink can be, from the point of view of ease of use, or recommended to start practicing the use of ink.

The difference in performance between a good ink and a bad ink is very great. Ink that is suitable for normal use should at least be free of sedimentary residue, write smoothly, have a uniform ink color, and smell good (this is a must, as smelly ink usually means that it has deteriorated and accumulated rotting colonies, which is detrimental to the brushes in the long run).

3,? Paper with raw Xuanxuan

From the production process, Xuan paper is divided into two kinds, one is called raw Xuanxuan, the production process is not processed by alum, absorbent, can melt the ink; one is called ripe Xuanxuan, made of alum, hard texture, relatively difficult to melt the ink.

Generally speaking, writing with raw Xuan. Every detail of the stroke of the brush, in the good ink under the raw XuanXuan effect will be multiplied. Every hesitation, timid strokes, staccato, unclear, biased strokes, perfunctory, will be exposed on this paper. Therefore, it can clearly expose the deficiencies in the process of the writer's strokes. Beginners are likely to have the details of the pen in place, if the use of ordinary paper, it is likely that they do not have the means to see these shortcomings of the process, the formation of long-term bad habits.

Likewise, the formal works, also should use rice paper to create, can form a "leak marks" type of ink dense artistic effect.

From the classification of raw materials, rice paper is also divided into pulp raw materials to sandalwood bark-based "net skin" (modern people say that the special net is also speculated out of the net skin) and straw-based "cotton", from the point of view of the two performance differences in writing Will not be too big, choose which one will refer to their own copy of the calligrapher. Usually angular, straight and hard lines of the calligrapher's handwriting, suitable for the performance of the net leather; on the contrary, more suitable for the use of cotton.

Beginners should adhere to the use of raw Xuan practice, and so on to adapt to the characteristics of the Xuan paper, can comfortably manage the time, you can also use the Yuan Shu paper, burlap paper and other similar paper for practice, but should still take the Xuan paper practice mainly.

4,? Ink stone

The main role of ink stone is used to grind ink, painting and calligraphy color. Traditionally, the ink stone made of hard and smooth ink stone is good. The higher requirements for it, is to be smooth and delicate, do not lose water. I've heard that good ink with good research, grinding out the ink is exceptionally smooth.

If you are using ink, you can buy a soy sauce dish or a water bowl instead of an ink stone. Water bowl can be placed pen, ink, water

5, paperweight

Paperweight, both the practice of painting, used to press the paper items. Generally in the form of pairs, rectangular shape.

Brush Calligraphy Beginner's Skills Introduction - Pen

Brush pen method, in fact, no fixed method, but to "finger real palm virtual", that is, the fingertips hard to control the pen tube, the palm of the empty, flexible movement pen has a long and short sharp, by the individual's habits of choice.

Historically more commonly used is the "five words pen method". Five words pen method is to press down, bet, hook, frame, against five words to summarize the role of the five fingers, which emphasizes the five fingers in their respective roles, but also to cooperate with the full force of the pen steadily, so that the pen can be up and down, left and right flexible movement.

The five fingers of the pen method: finger real, palm virtual, palm vertical, wrist flat, tube straight. Finger solid, that is, the fingers should have the power to hold the pen, to hold the pen tube solidly, the outer four fingers close to each other, the bone joints outward, dense and not loose. Inside the middle of the thumb joints should pay particular attention to make it convex outward, so that the mouth of the tiger rounded like a stirrup shape, so that the five fingers together force, the pen is solid and powerful, but also to help carry the pen.

The pen should be loose and tight. Too tight, the operation is not working; too loose, do not make the force. Finger solid, in order to achieve "no false hair, ink no side overflow, force gathered tube heart, stable pen." Palm empty, that is, when the pen should be empty palm, can not be curved finger palm, ring finger and little finger should not be affixed to the palm, as if holding an egg in the hand. The tiger's mouth between the thumb and forefinger should be opened wide.

The following is a step-by-step diagram of the brush:

1, naturally extend the palm of the hand, thumb up.

2. Bend your ring and little fingers slightly, keeping your palm flat.

3. Place the brush between the middle and ring fingers.

4. Press the thumb between the middle finger and the index finger, preferably upwards.

In this way, the brush can be carried steadily and flexibly. The purpose of the palm is to make the muscles of the palm of the sinews relaxed, otherwise the fingers and wrist will be stiff and tense, not conducive to the movement of the pen. Palm vertical, is to hold the pen when the palm of the hand to try to vertical. Palm vertical in order to straighten the pen, the pen can be straight to the front, the front is full of potential on all sides, running freely; otherwise, it will lead to crooked brush tube, the brush is not correct, the strokes are easy to become a bias sick pen. Wrist flat, means that the wrist and desktop to be parallel.
