【答案】 a Chinese painting brush or a wash painting brush 是毛笔 a wolf-hair brush 是狼毫 a wool brush 是羊毫
　　原文 In wash paintings,as in calligraphy,artists usually grind their own inkstick (Japanese:sumi) over an inkstone to obtain ink,but prepared inks are also available.Most inksticks are made of either pine or oil soot bined with animal glue (Japanese:nikawa).An artist puts a few drops of water on an inkstone and grinds the inkstick in a circular motion until a smooth,black ink of the desired concentration is made.Prepared inks are usually of much lower quality.Sumi themselves are sometimes ornately decorated with landscapes or flowers in bas-relief and some are highlighted with gold.
　　Wash painting brushes are similar to the brushes used for calligraphy and are traditionally made from bamboo with goat,cattle,horse,sheep,rabbit,marten,badger,deer,boar and wolf hair.The brush hairs are tapered to a fine point,a feature vital to the style of wash paintings.
　　Different brushes have different qualities.A small wolf-hair brush that is tapered to a fine point can deliver an even thin line of ink (much like a pen).A large wool brush (one variation called the big cloud) can hold a large volume of water and ink.When the big cloud brush rains down upon the paper,it delivers a graded swath of ink enpassing myriad shades of gray to black.
　　Once a stroke is painted,it cannot be changed or erased.This makes ink and wash painting a technically demanding art-form requiring great skill,concentration,and years of training.
