hard-tipped calligraphy  

Definition

  • Refers to Chinese calligraphy written using hard-tipped writing tools such as ballpoint pens, fountain pens, fine-tipped markers, or mechanical pencils, as opposed to traditional brush calligraphy (maobi shufa 毛笔书法). It retains the structural principles of Chinese calligraphy but adapts to the rigid characteristics of modern writing instruments, often emphasizing precision, control, and uniform strokes.
