Four Treasures of the Study's characteristics and selection methods have been mentioned before, and now we will further cooperate with them to give full play to the limits of its functions. The ancients often wrote on stationery with a health pen or on flexible rice paper, so the health pen can be matched with paper at will. Paper with weak ink absorption can be written with a healthy pen or a soft pen, so paper with weak ink absorption can also be matched with pens at will. This collocation method is the principle of combining paper and pen. The special points of soft brush and strong blotting paper are as follows:
Strong blotting paper is suitable for matching with healthy hairbrushes;
Strong blotting paper is represented by Xuan paper because of its strong ink absorption. As soon as the pen touches the paper, the ink will melt quickly. If you use the pen later, the strokes will become ink balls. The wool quilt is soft, so the ink is not easy to penetrate when the pen is a little urgent, and the written words will appear vain, so write quickly with a healthy pen to match the powerful blotting paper. The combination of the two can be the best. Commenting on the teacher, Yun said, "It's not easy to write on rice paper with a sheepskin pen. Because the ink absorption of rice paper is too strong, as soon as the ink enters the paper, the ink will penetrate into the fiber and soon seep away. The pen walks slowly, and there is a black mass on the paper, while lanolin is soft and walks a bit, that is, it skips the paper in front, so it can't be remembered on the paper. " Therefore, strong blotting paper can only be matched with healthy pens.
Soft brush should be equipped with weak ink-absorbing slip paper;
Soft brush is soft, and it is not easy to give play to personal characteristics. It's quite firm, so calligraphers in past dynasties used swords and pens more than soft pens. In fact, although the soft pen is weak, as long as the paper is chosen properly, it can also write attractive and implicit words. But the soft brush is made of weak blotting paper, with fingers as the key link. Although it is more brittle and harder than rice paper, it is less smooth and ink-absorbing, but slow strokes can also make it rotate. Calligraphers in the Qing Dynasty, such as Zhang Zhao, Liang, are all good at writing sheep hair. The style of writing paper or silk is charming, rich, moist and subtle, which creates another style. In the teacher's speech, he said: "Cover paper or silk, don't absorb ink, ink sinks on the surface. With the softness of wool, it is very handy to write smooth paper and silk. " What the teacher said is true!
Hao Jian with thick ink pen:
When you touch ink with a pen, the relationship between pen and ink can be imagined. Generally speaking, using a healthy pen and thick ink can best show the power of the pen. Wang Shu once said: "The ink must be thick, the pen must be healthy, and the healthy pen uses thick ink and the words are powerful and floating." This statement is quite right, and the previous generation of calligraphers did not agree. In Qing Dynasty, Liu Yongde was known as "Prime Minister of Thick Ink". Light ink soft pen is not a particularly good match for literati, but it is actually very unique and charming. Wang Wenzhi is good at weak ink, so-called "weak ink to explore flowers", which is also very suitable.
Collocation of pen, ink, paper and inkstone;
Ink and ink are inseparable, and ink stones are good. If it is straight, shiny and bright, it is easy to ink and ink. The so-called "ink in the inkstone follows the pen" and "those who have more ink also love stone", and their close relationship can be seen! If tools are matched like brothers, calligraphy will reach perfection!
