Set the finished pen barrel aside; the next step is to make the pen tip.
The bristles of the brush are still in the water.
Next, you need to curl the hair little by little until it reaches the appropriate thickness.
To achieve the appropriate diameter.
He then inserted it into the bamboo pen barrel and secured it in place.
All six pens were made using this method.
"Now that all six pens are finished, the next step is to try them out."
Then, he used the prepared pen to test the smoothness of the nib on the table with water.
Since this is the first time using panda fur, even though we've carefully selected the materials, we don't know if they'll be good enough.
After trying it, it felt quite comfortable.
Its softness and hardness are just right, making it quite suitable for making calligraphy brushes, and it writes smoothly.
"The smoothness is excellent; using panda fur to make a calligraphy brush is indeed a good choice."
The fans in the live stream were also very envious.
'Sigh, looks like Honey's going to get her fluff pulled a lot from now on.'
I think so too.
'That doesn't seem like a problem, they shed a lot too.'
'It's true that hair falls out with the changing seasons.'
'Too.'
Then Gu Xuan took out several sheets of Chengxintang paper, a Duan inkstone, and the tea-scented ancient ink he had just acquired from the warehouse.
Prepare the items and place them on the tea table in the pavilion.
Fortunately, the tea table is long enough.
It's about four meters long, and half of it is open space.
Lay out the Chengxintang paper and press it down with a paperweight.
Then take a few drops of spring water and use them to grind ink.
Ink made with this spring water is smoother and more comfortable to write with.
"Is Brother Xuan going to write or draw?"
'Just keep watching and you'll find out.'
"No, aren't you surprised by the paper Brother Xuan used?"
'What's so surprising? Brother Xuan already replicated it successfully.'
'No way.'
Go check out the previous videos.
'I'll go take a look.'
Some fans who arrived late went to look for previous videos.
Gu Xuan pondered what to write.
Suddenly I realized that I hadn't inscribed anything on my pavilion yet.
"Perfect timing to inscribe a poem for the pavilion."
The fans are also very curious.
What words should I use?
'I'm curious too.'
'Watch.'
Gu Xuan thought for a moment and noticed that he was surrounded by spring water.
"How about calling it Quanxin Pavilion?"
"I think it's a good idea."
'That fits quite well.'
Once the name was decided, Gu Xuan immediately began writing.
With a few quick strokes.
The three characters "Quanxin Pavilion" appeared on the paper.
flamboyant.
What font is this?
'I'm curious too, I don't know any of them.'
'This is cursive script, isn't it?'
'It looks like it to me too.'
Indeed, the script written by Gu Xuan was cursive script.
He has god-like calligraphy skills; cursive script is very easy for him.
Even professionals couldn't find any fault with his handwriting.
To others, it's clear they've honed their skills over decades.
Gu Xuan also has fans who specialize in studying calligraphy.
"I also study calligraphy. Brother Xuan's skill level must have been around for at least thirty years. I'm very curious how he managed to do it."
'I can do a little, but I dare not write cursive script; it requires too much skill.'
'yes.'
Several official accounts of calligraphy associations entered the live broadcast room.
Everyone was greatly shocked when they saw Gu Xuan's calligraphy.
'Would the host be interested in joining the calligraphy association?'
Our Haicheng Calligraphy Association welcomes you anytime.
The Kyoto Calligraphy Association also welcomes members.
In addition to calligraphy associations in major cities, national-level associations have also sent invitations.
Gu Xuan had no choice but to politely decline.
"Due to work commitments, I am unable to join you at this time."
"No rush, just having my name on it is fine."
We are the Haicheng Calligraphy Association, located near you.
There's a calligraphy and painting exhibition in Kyoto.
'We have them here too.'
These people are fighting over it.
However, some curious people discovered that the paper and ink used by Gu Xuan were of extraordinary quality.
This paper is special.
"I heard the streamer has perfectly replicated Chengxintang paper."
'Really.'
Of course.
This immediately attracted the attention of these calligraphy associations, given the high regard in which Chengxintang paper was held by them.
"So, you can work for us as a livestreamer. You don't need to do anything; you just need to sell us some Chengxintang paper."
'We're the same; your prices will definitely satisfy you.'
The struggle for people has turned into a struggle for Chengxintang paper.
At this moment, another message appeared.
'You only focus on the paper, but didn't you see the ink and inkstone he used?'
Wow, this Duan inkstone is impressive!
"No way, an inkstone worth millions? That's incredibly extravagant."
Many fans were shocked.
'What did I just hear? A stone worth millions.'
"Holy crap, this is outrageously extravagant!"
'Does Brother Xuan need any more accessories?'
"Get out of the way, if anyone's missing, it'll be me."
"Brother Xuan, what kind of ink is this? It looks so magical."
Gu Xuan explained.
"This is an ancient inkstone, made from a variety of materials such as tea oil, tea soot ink, and pine soot. It writes very smoothly."
'I'm going to GuMo.'
"Brother Xuan, do you still have any of that ancient ink?"
That's not the point; I want the calligraphy written by Brother Xuan.
'Oh, thanks for reminding me, upstairs.'
This immediately attracted everyone's attention.
How could I forget this?
"Brother Kuai Xuan, sell it to me."
"Get out of the way, upstairs."
Gu Xuan explained.
"I can't give you this calligraphy right now; it's an inscription for the pavilion."
After speaking, he used a small calligraphy brush to sign his name in a corner to the side.
He then took out the seal he had carved for himself, along with a paste.
This inkpad looks no different.
But those who are curious think that since Gu Xuan's ink and paper are not simple, his ink paste must also be extraordinary.
One fan asked directly.
"Brother Xuan, your inkpad is something else, isn't it?"
'Logically speaking, if everything else is so precious, this inkpad must be extraordinary too.'
"Look at Brother Xuan's seal. It was carved from Tianhuang stone, but it's no longer available."
'Based on this analysis, Brother Xuan's inkpad is probably a good product too.'
"Brother Xuan, tell me quickly."
Gu Xuan smiled helplessly as he looked at the comments that appeared on the screen.
"You guys are pretty smart; you know how to analyze."
"That's right, Brother Xuan, please tell me quickly."
'Yes, we want to know.'
There's no need for Gu Xuan to hide anymore.
"Actually, this is also a kind of ancient ink paste. You may have heard of a mysterious ink paste that is sold on the market now, but it is very expensive. The one I have is even better than that."
"Brother Xuan, hurry up and tell me, I can't wait any longer."
Stop keeping me in suspense.
Gu Xuan continued.
"The one in my hand has a name: Golden Blood Pearl."
'That's a strange name.'
'That is a bit strange.'
"This ink paste has two main ingredients: blood pearl, which is the main source of its red color, and golden threads, which are a special type of lotus root with a light golden hue on the outside, but the lotus root fibers inside also shimmer with golden light after being extracted. It is also called golden threads. Using these two main raw materials, along with more than 20 auxiliary materials, it takes two years to make a usable golden thread blood pearl ink paste."
