Pen, ink, paper and inkstone are not only a tool, but also a cultural inheritance and expression. In ancient China, everyone needed to master the skills of using brush and paper, because they were necessary tools for writing and painting. At the same time, pen and paper also play a vital role in calligraphy and painting. The difference in hardness, weight and elasticity of brush, as well as the difference in texture and texture of paper, will affect the quality and style of works. Therefore, contemporary painting and calligraphy lovers still have a special liking for pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and think that pen, ink and inkstone are the best media to express personal abilities and emotions.
At present, due to the popularity of electronic equipment, the use of brush and paper has become limited. However, there are still people attached to them. Some painting and calligraphy lovers will practice and create regularly with brushes and paper, and use them to record their mental journey and life experience. In addition, in recent years, in some fields of culture and art, there is a tendency to apply brush and paper to creative design and product development. Some designers will add the craft and aesthetic feeling of pen, ink, paper and inkstone to their own designs, thus creating the aesthetic feeling of combining tradition with modernity.
In a word, one note and one ink is no longer an essential tool in our daily life, but the traditional cultural spirit they represent still affects our life and artistic creation.
