Pen calligraphy not only requires writing to be accurate, clear, standardized, and clear at a glance, but also emphasizes beautiful, vivid, artistic, and pleasing shapes. Therefore, it is an art with great practical value. Because it has both the flavor of brush calligraphy and the characteristics of fountain pen calligraphy, it is called fountain pen calligraphy. Appreciating fountain pen copybooks means appreciating the artistry that arouses aesthetic pleasure. This artistry is nothing more than the beauty of lines, structure, composition and style. The beauty of the lines of pen calligraphy is summarized in the characteristics of the pen, the form of stippling, and the rhythm of using the pen.
There are two forms of pen calligraphy, one is traditional direct writing, and the other is modern horizontal writing, but both require "the lines must have movable characters and the characters must be vivid", and the composition must be complete, natural, consistent, harmonious, and Integrated and interesting. It gives the impression that the neat and graceful form is like a pattern painting, highly decorative, flowing and ethereal like light music, and highly interesting.
When appreciating pen calligraphy works, you can appreciate them from near to far, that is, from lines to structure, composition to style. Just like in a movie shot, from close-up to close-up, then to medium shot, and then to long shot or panorama. The advantage of this appreciation method is that it is easy to understand and accept, and the feeling is deeper or comprehensive.
