23、Generally, Chinese scripts（字体）have five categories（种类）: The seal character (Zhuang), the official script (Li), the regular script (Kai), the running hand (Xing) and the cursive hand (Cao).

To produce Chinese characters, one will need a brush, a paper, ink and ink stone. They are called the “Four Treasures of the Study”. To learn calligraphy, it is necessary to learn about these tools.

White-goat-hair, black-rabbit-hair and yellow-weasel-hair brushes are the main ones. Brush handles are usually made of bamboo. The ink stick is a special pigment（颜料）used for Chinese traditional painting and calligraphy. The most famous ink stick is Hui Mo, made of pines that grow on Huangshan Mountain in Anhui Province. Xuan paper, produced in Xuanzhou (today’s Anhui Province), is said to be the best for Chinese calligraphy. Ink stones have three categories: Duan, She and Tao. Although the stone is hard and fine, it is not dry or slippery. Using this kind of stone, liquid ink can be produced easily.

By using the four tools well, the artist can produce kinds of calligraphic styles and forms.
