Qiming WenFang QingYue Zhongkai Chinese Brush, Yang Jian Hao Chinese Calligraphy Brush for Regular Script/KaiShu, Running Script/Xing shu, Cursive/Cao Shu (QingYue 3pcs Set Small+Medium+Large)

Good quality but too soft .

I ordered many Chinese calligraphy brushes for drawingsand writing, these are definitely high quality brushes. Will order more with different sizes.

I am a beginner in Chinese calligraphy (roughly 5 months). I am studying the Ou-style calligraphy (歐體字). I am now going through Prof. Tian's book - "Daily Calligraphy Exercises" (田蘊章 - 真行草每日一字). I write 48 4cmX4cm characters daily. 32 kai characters (楷書), 8 cursive characters (行書) and 8 symbolic characters (草書). I have gone through a few brushes already, none of them wrote as well as Qiming Wenfang's QingYue, it is the best by a large margin. It writes well for all 3 calligraphy families I write (Kai, cursive, and symbolic). To me, it feels just right - not too stiff or too soft. It is a great brush for me to work on strokes. I have written roughly 1500 characters on QingYue and it's still writing very well. I cannot recommend it more.After writing, I recommend cleaning it as well as you can. I believe it is made of very high grade goat hair so it is essential to remove as much ink residue as possible. I stir the brush in bowls of water until the water looks clear then I dry it with paper towel while giving it a few moderate squeezes. I stir it in water once more and dry again with paper towel. Finally, I give it a good spin so loosen the hair before hanging it.I also recommend cleaning it with a tiny bit of shampoo weekly or bi-weekly.

The media could not be loaded.  This is a very good brush set. Gives me new experience of how different animal hair combination can result in different writing experiences. worth recommending.

Good weight and absorption is good. Good value considering the price ( three in a set).I tested L/M ones. Only used for two days, no shedding problem and hard to say about split. All brush split if using inappropriately.Keep practicing!

not a Gathered tip at least the medium sized one. and by the corner is the bad ink stick box from same seller.

The media could not be loaded.  I have over 30 calligraphy brushes on Amazon. As a teacher who teach calligraphy to students, I highly recommend all the brushes in Qi Ming Wen Fang. I am a collector of their products now and I almost bought all of them!!!

First of all, you would find the brushes were shipped very nicely packaged and carefully protected. The brushes construction quality is very good in my opinion. The user manual provides more than detailed and informative instructions on properly using, and maintaining the brushes. Following the instructions closely, I have been very pleased with the consistency and performance of those brushes in my calligraphy applications. Absolutely no bristles shedding issues as commonly found in many cheaply made Chinese painting brushes. Very good buy, and will try other bigger size brushes from this brand!

Comes to a sharp point, holds it, barely shed any hairs. Does hold a lot of liquid. Was carefully packaged and nicely presented in a cardboard tube box. I do like it.

I practice 瘦金體.This brush is perfect for me.It has the strength crucial for the calligraphy style and retains just the right amount of ink.

Very good
