湖笔以湖颖闻名天下，兼具四种优良特性：尖，笔锋保持尖锐；圆，笔中蓄墨性强；齐，开笔笔锋整齐；健，笔有适中韧性。其实善琏世代制笔，湖笔四德早已融入了善琏的性格当中：尖，持之以恒；圆，厚积薄发；齐，一丝不苟；健，愈压愈韧。四种自然材料创作的四个节点/装置艺术将成为未来小镇的旅游亮点和游客打卡热门地。设计以笔画的形式组织空间和活动，仿佛在湖笔小镇中用光线、剪影、植物、流水为墨汁，在大地上画出各具特色的四笔。

The Hu writing brush is famous as “Hu Ying” and has four excellent characteristics: “Shaped”means keeping the edge of the writing brush sharp. “Round”means that the writing brush keeps ink well; “Neat”means a neat beginning of a brushstroke; “Strong”means that the writing brush has moderate toughness. In fact, Shanlian town has making writing brushes for generations, and the four characteristics of the Hu writing brush have been integrated into this town`s character: “Pointed”is a sign of persistence; “Round”is a sign of accumulating; “Neat”is a sign of meticulosity; “Strong”means that the stronger the pressure, the tougher it is.

湖笔愈简而气愈壮，景愈少而意愈长。在善琏湖笔小镇景观提升项目中，我们从笔出发，深入笔意，将湖笔尖、圆、齐、健的优秀特质通过景观设计的表达融入到小镇的气质当中。从文字组合中提取灵感，把文字的偏旁部首趣味地变成座椅、花池、屋檐等景观小品，既符合现代人的审美意趣和使用需求，又提升了整个小镇的文化底蕴，把小镇的湖笔特色发扬光大。

The simpler the stroke and the stronger the spirit, the less the scene and the more the meaning. In the landscape improvement project of Shanlian Hubi Town, we started from the write brush and went deep into the brushwork, integrating the excellent characteristics of the Hu wirting brush`s sharped, round, neat and strong into the temperament of the town through the expression of landscape design. By drawing inspiration from the words combination, the radicals are turned into scenic pieces such as seats, flower pools and eaves, which not only meet the aesthetic interest and functional needs, but also enhance the cultural heritage of the whole town and carry forward the characteristics of the town’s Hu writing brush.
