蘸水笔, 钢笔
a traditional pen consisting of a metal nib inserted into a handle, which is dipped into ink before use
A dip pen is a type of pen that requires users to dip the nib into ink before writing. Unlike fountain pens or ballpoint pens, which have a built-in ink reservoir, a dip pen relies on the user to re-dip the nib into an ink bottle as needed. Dip pens are often used for calligraphy, detailed drawing, and artistic writing, offering precise control over ink flow and line thickness. The flexibility of the nib and the variety of available ink colors make dip pens popular among artists and calligraphers for their expressive, unique lines.
