Ballpoint pen keeps writing away from art

The continuous development of science and technology has made our lives more convenient and faster, but at the same time we are also slowly losing some very important things. Writing tools are a very important embodiment. From writing brush to pen to ballpoint pen to signature pen, our writing tools are more and more convenient and easy to use, but our pursuit of writing art is slowly losing, and it is said slowly in ballpoint pens. In our daily life, the brush and pen began to retreat from our lives. Technology makes our writing more and more convenient, but at the same time, it also makes art farther and farther away from us.

The invention of the ballpoint pen goes back to the United States in 1888. Its inventor was an American journalist named John Lauder who accidentally took the opportunity to create a never-before-seen pen that uses a ball as a nib. It is just an individual's unintentional move that has not spread to society. The real invention of the ballpoint pen was in Hungary in 1940. The proofreading worker Biro officially invented the ballpoint pen and applied for patent protection. By 1945, the ballpoint pen was already on the market. Due to its non-leakage, non-volatile, clean and convenient, and writing time is longer, it eliminates the need for frequent infusion of ink, and soon became popular in the world.

The real mass flow of ballpoint pens into China was after the War of Resistance against Japan ended. At that time, a large amount of American goods flowed into China. The ballpoint pen came to China at that time. Before the ballpoint pen, pens were the most popular writing instruments in China at the time. People were very respectful and envious of the pen holders on their chests. They were the symbols of knowledge and decentness, but after the arrival of ballpoint pens, writing instruments began slowly. The popularity of this breaks the insurmountable boundary between knowledge and the public. From then on, writing is no longer a patent of the intellectuals. Writing has become the right that everyone can subsequently enforce.

But while satisfying the convenience and breaking the monopoly of the class, the ballpoint pen also brought a lot of loss to us, including the art of calligraphy. The basic role of writing supplies is writing, and Chinese people with endless wisdom have different experiences and aesthetics for simple writing. When writing begins to become an art, people’s demand for aesthetics has reached a very high level. It's like a high mountain stream, sunny spring snow. Although art comes from life, art is higher than life. Since it is higher than life, it is decided that writing this kind of artistic behavior is only a small part of people's behavior. However, with the popularity of ballpoint pens, writing is no longer a limitation. Everyone can pick up a pen to write, and the distance between people and writing slowly draws in. At the same time, calligraphy art slowly begins to disappear in people's lives. Because the brush calligraphy that people once admired, and even the modern coin calligraphy are gradually faded out of people's use because of the popularity and popularity of ballpoint pens. In this sense, the appearance of a ballpoint pen makes the writing start slowly away from the art.
