Those bamboo inkpens are still used in schools in underdeveloped villages around the world. The students use a wooden slab as the 'paper' and make their own ink from ink powder at shops. The wooden slab is covered with a layer of freshly dried mud from a 'mud rock' and washed after every school day. I know because I've used it too. It's really messy but it's the only viable stationery available in those areas.

[@RL-lm3ed]

why the layer of mud to be washed off and no notes to review? why not write directly on thin wood in order to preserve the notes?

[@andpeggy9554]

[@emilyscott6274]

When I was studying the paintbrush in China, I was told that the brush must be held in a more upright manner (practically straight up and down). Don't know if that was just my teacher being particular, but I felt that it helped me control my strokes better. Worth a try if you wanted to delve deeper.

[@ashleysovilla2037]

From what I understand, that’s the correct way to hold it. Even the example he showed, the woman was holding it straight up.

[@fengjunya]

'Upright manner' is one of the most convenient ways for writing and painting. The tip can be bent in all directions. Of course, you can hold it any way you want. As long as you can write/paint.

[@yanyanzhang5813]

Your teacher wasn’t being particular at all. The upright hold is the correct one. It allows for easy manipulation of brush direction and for manipulation of line width. The mark of a good calligrapher is straight lines with good size and shape manipulation where appropriate. There are special ways to lift brushes or push it down to achieve certain affects. Traditional calligraphy took time and effort, which is why modern Chinese calligraphy annoys me so much. Dude just dips a big brush in ink and swirls it around with no concern for any detail and then sells it for millions.

[@5h13leeyingtung7]

It IS the correct way. Also remember to have your elbow and wrist on the table.

[@janettouchon9113]

Hi Jazza. If you really want to get the full effect of Japanese calligraphy (known as shodo or sumie), you should try the paper typically used for this art form. Rice paper is incredibly thin and really reacts to the amount of ink, pressure and smoothness and direction of the brush stroke. It can be bought in individual sheets, or as cardboard backed boards or scrolls. I learned to do this in college in Japanese studies. It was so fun writing the kanji with the brushes. My mother was Japanese and married an American. I grew up in Japan. You have inspired me to pick it back up again. Thank you for everything you do and your constant encouragement for people to be creative. With much love, Janet from the USA.

[@poochy2479]

actually it was very common to use the same tools for writing and drawing in east asia, that's the reason their written language looks so complicated and so many famous ancient artworks have poems written on them to accompany the visuals

[@84rinne_moo]

@@poochy2479 I’m kinda doubting the writing/art tools dictated how the “letters” of the language developed, prob only on superficial levels. Chinese characters developed for other reasons and not all countries used a writing system like that.

[@poochy2479]

@@84rinne_moo no, it's a pretty well documented fact that the use of the same tools for writing and art was an enormous part of what dictated the look of the language as it developed. it was originally a pictographic language that started with the characters looking more like little illustrations of what they meant, and those characters evolved over time so that written language could express more complex ideas. not to mention the value placed on poetry and art as a noble undertaking, which further encouraged the use of both at once. it's a huge part of chinese culture (and you can choose not to believe me i guess but i have a degree in this lol). also, when i said east asia i meant china and the other countries around the area that originally started with chinese characters as a base for their own written languages, like japan and korea.

[@84rinne_moo]

@@poochy2479 ok, but with all due respect to you, I think that was my point. The tools were one of the influences to the look/style of the characters (again on a superficial level) but the characters weren’t complicated as they are BECAUSE of the tools. It is just the nature of them, esp since as you rightly said it is pictographic. plus it’s just how languages and writing systems develop which is also influenced by alot of other factors including cultural, societal, historical events etc. Additionally, there are many kinds of script or writing form of chinese characters within history that grew and changed over time and new ones developed. From seal script, standard script, semi cursive, cursive etc. Ex the seal script is blocky and archaic looking compared to modern text. Standard type is pretty simple, retaining each stroke of the character exactly. Semi-cursive helps to write quicker since the brush/pen leaves the page less, but is still generally readable. Whereas full on cursive has many “abbreviated” strokes and connection of strokes where some characters are written without the brush ever leaving the page. However this makes it ALOT harder to read and was prob what you find on alot of art. So you can see that even just the desire to want to write more efficiently in some cases caused the writing to be LESS complicated. This is why saying that the tools used to write are what made the writing system become complicated is just a wrong deduction to state as there is a lot of factors involved.

[@84rinne_moo]

@@poochy2479 Also you said that because of the value placed on poetry and art as a noble undertaking (prob most often practiced by actual nobles or higher ranking ppl in society) that means that art and poetry together was also greatly influenced by society/culture’s view on what they saw value in. That again is not JUST because of the writing tools, but you admit that culture/society played a big role in that so what you originally stated is inaccurate.

[@thesuperzfamilyvlog6607]

Mulan is easily one of my top 3 Disney movies. there is something satisfying using dip pens, like bamboo. You just feel connected to the medium.

[@elizabethpratt9729]

To prevent overload of the pen with ink, historically the ink pot/well would be packed with silk fiber or other absorbent material, and then ink would be added until it saturated the fibers. That way when the pen was dipped into the well the scribe could put the pen in without worrying about going too far. The fibers also helped keep the ink contained when the pot was stoppered for travel.

[@VaultGen_07]

[@craftimeart6651]

Idk how true this is but I’m pretty sure that before writing utensils in Egypt, they carved into clay tablets. That is the time that Egypt hieroglyphics became a thing. They carved into clay tablets to count things that were being stored (for example, they would count how much grain was being made and stored per day on these tablets). They would draw a picture of the item and then start counting to make it easier. At some point, they had to turn their drawings 90 degrees and over time they drastically simplified for ease. Now the symbol for grain doesn’t really look like grain, but it works. We still have some of these clay tablets that have hardened. It is really cool stuff❤ If I’m wrong about anything, feel free to correct me!

[@beastwriter3915]

I wouldn't exactly call Mulan underrated, since it is still one of the most loved Disney film, but Shan Yu is definitely an underrated villain.

[@lenaotaku5905]

2:30 Thats what ppl do: Stone Age artists used their fingers, as well as twigs, moss, and horsehair brushes, to dab paint on the cave walls. They also blew paint through bone tubes or reed pipes onto cave walls. Clay ochre was the main pigment and provided three basic colours: yellow, brown and numerous hues of red. For black pigment, artists typically employed either manganese dioxide or charcoal, or burnt bones (known as bone black). For white pigment, they used kaolin or ground calcite (lime white). (Google) Also with my knowledge from school i can confirm this.

Don’t forget hand prints. I think it was in the caves in Lascaux where hand prints were incorporated into the art.

The chinese calligraphy brush is actually taught to be used so that you hold it with the top of the brush pointing straight upward. So thickness and thinness would actually depend on how hard you press down. From my own experience, I know that the traditional way of holding it is WAYY more harder and you have way less control. It's why Chinese people now think those who can write Chinese characters well with the brush are amazing. And for someone who sucks at using the calligraphy brush, I don't even understand how ppl back in the day used these every time to write (characters) or even to draw. Amazing drawings tho!
