[Introduction] The writing tools are constantly improving and more convenient. This is actually a reflection of the knowledge gradually entering the public from the literati class. The common sense and knowledge are getting closer and closer to ordinary people, but at the same time, the art is getting farther and farther.
Early ballpoint pen advertising
In 1888, an American journalist named John Lloyd designed a pen that used a ball as a nib. This was an early ballpoint pen, but he could not make it into a product that people could use. In 1940, the Hungarian printing house proofreader Biro successfully invented the modern ballpoint pen, and applied for a patent on July 10, 1943, and began to enter the market in 1945. The ballpoint pen is different from the fountain pen. Because it uses dry thick ink, the ink is transferred to the paper by the freely rotating steel ball on the pen head, so it is not leaking, is not affected by the weather, and the writing time is long, and the ink is omitted. The trouble of constantly infusing ink has quickly become popular in the world.
After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, a large number of American goods poured into the Chinese market, and ballpoint pens were also introduced to China. At that time, the ballpoint pen was expensive, called the "ball pen." Because the United States put two atomic bombs into Japan at the end of the Second World War, which led to Japan’s early surrender. In Shanghai dialect, the words “atoms†and “beads†were similar. The savvy American businessman took this Yuwei and took the name “ball penâ€. .
Such an out-and-out import of goods has great significance for the promotion of knowledge and the satisfaction of the public's need for writing convenience. In our impression, the pen is a symbol of knowledge – in China in the early years, some people even used a few pens on their chests to have knowledge. The pen was very expensive at the beginning of the invention. The ordinary working people could not afford it. The isolation of this writing instrument from the masses of the people actually represented the isolation of knowledge from the public. In the era of the ballpoint pen invention, the pen has already revealed its mystery, and it has become more and more popular, but the pen book is not so convenient – ​​not only from time to time to inject new ink, but also to worry about leakage, in special circumstances such as high altitude, it is not free to use. . The invention of the ballpoint pen actually broke the monopoly of the intellectual class on culture and writing, and made everyone have the right to write more conveniently.
As a new writing instrument, the ball-point pen conforms to the requirements of “convenient†and “quick†and meets the needs of more convenient “writingâ€. From brush to hard pen (pen, ballpoint pen, pencil), writing tools are constantly improving and more convenient. This is actually a reflection of knowledge gradually entering the public from the literati class, so that common sense and knowledge are getting closer and closer to ordinary people, but at the same time, Let art go further and further. For ballpoint pens, and even hard and hard pens, it makes each of us closer to "calligraphy", but that's it.
China’s more than 2,000 years of civilization has left us with many treasures to play with, and calligraphy is one of them. Distinctive regional culture, distinctive word-making concepts, continuous updating of writing tools, and the appreciation of scholar-officials and the inheritance and innovation of later scholars have gradually formed a unique "calligraphic system" in the world. The reason why it is said to be "unique" is because no country has such a rigorous set of theoretical systems and aesthetic appreciation systems for writing styles, tools, chapters, etc., and no country left in writing. There are so many classic examples for future generations to learn, so that the very practical and simple writing can be raised into an independent art form, an art form called "law."
Since it is art, it is beyond life, and it has nothing to do with most ordinary people like you and me – most of us may be just a “calligraphy enthusiast†for the rest of our lives, and we have never touched the calligraphy from beginning to end. The doorway of the temple. Not only that, but frankly, even the so-called "hard pen calligraphy" is not "calligraphy", which is theoretically suspicious. In China's "calligraphy", there are three core concepts of "using pen", "character" and "chapter".
"With the pen" is the writing of each stroke. As we all know, the brush has the distinction of "soft and hard" and also has the "length and length". According to the former, there are differences between “Yangmou†and “Wolfâ€. According to the latter, there are also “Changfeng†and “Centreâ€. Different brush strokes feel different, the amount of ink is different, and the writing effect is completely different. This determines that when using different writing brushes and writing different book titles, the center or the slant, and the speed and power angles of the pen, the pen, and the pen are all different, and the different treatment methods will produce different styles. The "character" is within a word, and the interaction between strokes echoes. In the "Nine Potentials", the Eastern Han Dynasty said: "There is no end to the situation, and the situation is unstoppable." In the category of calligraphy, there is a wonderful mutual relationship between the strokes of each Chinese character. Yes, but it can be felt. It exists in a "qi", which combines the strokes that are not connected to each other, thus forming a magnificent whole. "Chapter" refers to the study of the relationship between words and words in a work. Where is the intensive where is sparse, and even where the ink is thick and the ink is light, there is a study that is considered throughout. The ancients had the saying that "the word can be used to remove the place, and the secret is not to let the wind pass."
These three concepts systematically describe the techniques and laws of Chinese calligraphy from the microscopic of a stroke to the macroscopic view of a work. In fact, it is precisely with these that "books" can truly be called "laws." These three are based on the brush and the darkness of the ink. How do the hard pens embody the "pen", "character" and "chapter"? In the hard pen writing, there is no way to talk about it. What most of us do is just "writing". While enjoying the convenience of writing by the ballpoint pen, people are getting farther and farther away from the "beauty".
