It is characterized by lubrication and elasticity, suitable for books and paintings, and mainly for painting. Liang Tongshu "Pen History: Wolf Hao": "The pen has Feng Fox, Cockroach, Dragon Tendon, Tiger Servant and Orangutan Hair, Wolf Hao (Hao). "The wolf's strength is between sheep's hair and purple hair. The quality is brittle and not resistant to friction. The south is full of wolf hair, the best one uses the wolf tail, and the whole hair is opened with water, which is the most appropriate; The north pen is used in the wolf's hair, in the real B, covered with rabbit hair, through the whole pen, the practicality is slightly poor.

The wolf pen is literally made from wolf hair. The previous generation did use wolf hair to make pens; But today's so-called wolf is the "millimeter" of the weasel "wolf", not the wolf's millimeter. The record of the wolf is very late, and some people also use the "mouse whisker pen", that is, the wolf pen, so the use of the wolf can be pushed back to before the Jin Dynasty of Wang Xizhi, but it is not certain.

The weasel only has the tip of the tail to make a pen, and the nature is tough, second only to the rabbit and more than the sheep's hair, and it is also a healthy pen. The disadvantages are similar to Zihao, and they are not excessive.

The wolf pen is the most rat tail produced in the northeast, called "North wolf hair", "Kanto Liaowei". The wolf's pen is stronger than the sheep's pen, and it is suitable for writing and painting, but it is not as durable as the sheep's pen, and the price is more expensive than the sheep's pen.
