In the pursuit of a quality life, the importance of the four treasures of the study - brush, ink, paper, and inkstone - is self-evident. They are not only tools for writing but also symbols that show personal taste and attitude to life. Therefore, it is crucial to choose a good set of writing tools. The following will introduce in detail the method of picking a good set.
First, the choice of the brush. The brush is the first among the four treasures of the study, so it is crucial to choose a good one. Firstly, we should look at the material of the brush, which is usually made of animal hair or synthetic materials with good elasticity and writing feeling. Secondly, we should look at the shape and craftsmanship of the brush tip, as different calligraphy and writing needs may require different shapes of brush tips. Finally, we can try writing with the brush to see if it is smooth and without ink bleeding, which are important criteria for a good brush. Second, the choice of ink. Ink is also an important factor that affects the quality of writing. High-quality ink should have bright colors, fade resistance, and no bleeding. When choosing, we can pay attention to the origin and brand of the ink to choose reputable brands and places of origin. In addition, we can also observe the fluidity of the ink. Good ink should have moderate fluidity and not easily dry out. Third, the choice of paper. The quality of paper directly affects the comfort of writing and the clarity of handwriting. Good paper should have fine texture, good ink absorption, and no ink penetration. When choosing, we can observe the thickness and luster of the paper. High-quality paper is usually thicker and has a certain luster. In addition, we can also try writing to feel the writing feeling and ink absorption of the paper. Fourth, the choice of inkstone. The inkstone is a tool for grinding ink and a highlight in the study. When choosing an inkstone, we should first pay attention to the material. High-quality inkstones are usually made of precious stones and have good grinding effect and maintenance value. Secondly, we should look at the craftsmanship and shape of the inkstone. A good inkstone usually has fine craftsmanship and unique shape. Finally, set matching. After selecting individual writing tools, we also need to pay attention to set matching. The pen, ink, paper, and inkstone in the set should be coordinated with each other, and the overall style should be unified. When matching, we can consider color, material, shape and other
