Liucun, Ruyang, a city in Zhoukou, Henan Province, is an important birthplace of Chinese brush.

China is an ancient civilization with a long history of 5,000 years. In this long history, the Chinese nation has been constantly pioneering and innovating, and has formed its own unique cultural inheritance system, and the tools to maintain the normal operation of this system are pens, ink, paper and inkstones praised by the ancients as "Four Treasures of the Study". "Four Treasures of the Study" is one of the symbols of China's traditional culture, the carrier of Chinese civilization, the link to inherit the splendid culture of the Chinese nation and an important driving force to promote the development of world culture.

"Four Treasures of the Study" is the first writing brush, which can best show the development of China culture and is also the most important tool for writing history.

The Qin Dynasty was the beginning of the development of brush technology. During this period, the basic shape of brush was determined, which laid the foundation for the production of brush in later generations and opened a new chapter in the writing history of the Chinese nation. The biggest feature of Qin Dynasty's brush is "bamboo-based", which was initiated by Meng Tian, the general of Qin Dynasty, and then passed down by his subordinates, and gradually spread to the whole country. At the same time, there have been some places famous for making brushes, and Ruyang Liucun is one of them.

Ruyang Liu's brush originated from the court of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped the throne, which led to chaos in the Central Plains. Wang Mang fought everywhere and wiped out the Liu people. Shortly after Ada (Ada), the county magistrate of Nantun (now in Dongzhen and Shenqiu), succeeded to the throne, he had to take refuge in his hometown of Chunling, Zaoyang, Hubei Province, passing through Hongqipi River in Ruyang (the existing Hongqipi site was a big reservoir in the Western Han Dynasty, mainly producing rice) and took refuge in a farmhouse (. When follwed arrived at the pursuer, Ada's son Liu Zhifeng was ill and could not move, so Ada had to reluctantly abandon his son and move south with his family. Under the care of the farmer, Liu Zhifeng married the farmer's daughter after she got well. Later, Ada and Liu Xiu rose up in Chunling. After the battle of Kunyang, they were killed because they suspected the primitive emperor. After Liu Xiu established the Eastern Han Dynasty, he searched around for the descendants of his brother Ada and finally found Liu Zhifeng in Ruyang. In order to avoid chaos, Ada lived in the countryside for a long time. He doesn't like the sinister officialdom and hates his official career, but he is proficient in skills. He was very interested in writing brushes, and Emperor Guangwu named him the "Imperial Pen King" to manage the royal pen making. Later, due to neglect of court etiquette, he was repeatedly excluded and depressed. Then he resigned from Emperor Guangwu, and the emperor asked him what he wanted. Liu Zhifeng said that he wanted nothing but to go back to his hometown to farm, and the emperor agreed to his request. After that, he returned to Hong Jiapu with his family. From then on, he passed on the skill of writing brush to future generations and passed it on from generation to generation. Later generations named the village "Liu Village in Ruyang" to commemorate Liu's ancestors. After wars and changes of the times, Liucun in Ruyang has continued to this day for two thousand years.

Since then, the tenth generation of Han and Liu Bang's grandchildren have inherited, researched and developed the skill of writing brush together with their descendants, which has been passed down from generation to generation and passed down to the sixty-seventh generation. For more than 2,000 years, Liushi Village in Ruyang has experienced many wars and dynasty changes, but it has always been circulated and its craft quality is more perfect.

Liu Yin followed the Qin general Meng Tiannan to attack Chu Zhongshan and quell the rebellion in Chu. On the way to Meng Tian, we passed Liu Zairuyang's village, which is now stationed in Xiangcheng area. At that time, Liu Yin was a military document, recording military deeds, conveying orders and helping generals to handle military affairs. At that time, there was no paper and writing brush. Writing was carved on bamboo slips with a hard pen, which was a "word knife", which was time-consuming and laborious. Meng Tian was distressed to see Liu Yin working hard all day, and always wanted to make a new writing tool. One day, a rabbit ran into the lime pool near the military camp and drowned. When Meng Tian visited this place, he saw the rabbit in the lime pool, and thought, Why not use the rabbit's tail to write? So he asked Liu Yin to cut off the rabbit's tail and try to write on the bamboo slips. Writing and writing, Liu Yin feels comfortable and relaxed, which is much more convenient than writing with a "word knife". In the days that followed, Meng Tian constantly improved his pen, soaking animal hair and hemp in lime water, then tightly winding it with a silk rope, hollowing out one end of the bamboo tube, and inserting the nib into the bamboo tube for use, making writing more fluent. From then on, Liu Yin wrote with "Meng Tian Pen".

"Meng Tian pen" is Qin pen. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was no unified name for writing instruments. It was not until the Qin Dynasty that "pen" officially became the title of writing tool, which coincides with Xu Shen's explanation of pen in Shuo Wen Jie Zi in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Its text says: "Qin refers to the pen, Chu refers to Yu, Wu refers to the wrong, and Yan refers to Fu." So the pseudonym was unified after Qin dynasty.

Liu Yin was closely related to the Qin Dynasty philologist Cheng Miao. Cheng Miao was convicted and imprisoned, and worked hard to create a 3000-word official script for ten years. After Qin unified the six countries, it implemented the principle of "cars on the same track, books on the same language" and unified the degree, quantity and balance. The small seal script used in the former Qin state is considered to be a unified script in the whole country. Cheng Miao founded official script on the basis of Xiao Zhuan. Official script is superior to seal script. Later, official script replaced seal script, and official script of Qin dynasty spread all over the country. Li Si, the prime minister, asked Qin Shihuang to pardon Cheng Miao and let him write the imperial history in official script, which Liu Yin gave with "Meng Tian Pen". As a result, "Meng Tian Pen" spread and flourished in the ruling and opposition circles.

In 2 10 BC, Qin Shihuang died in a sand dune on his way to the east. At this time, Zhao Gao wooed Reese, made a "Dune Plan" in partnership, tampered with Qin Shihuang's will to let the eldest son Fu Su inherit the throne, but let the youngest son Hu Hai inherit the throne No.2, and issued a letter of correction, which drove Fu Su and Meng Tian to commit suicide. After Meng Tian's death, Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang attached great importance to cultural construction, invited Liu Yin, a pen-making expert from Meng Tian's army in Qin Dynasty, to the palace to make pens specially, and ordered Liu people to learn from him, further refine them, and incorporate the pens he made into the special writing brush for the court. Later, the brush was made into a stunt of the Han Palace, which was passed down from generation to generation, from male to female. Pass on the manufacturing technology of "Meng Tian Pen" to Liu's descendants. From the ancestor of Liu Bi, it was handed down from generation to generation, and it has been passed down to 20 14. Now there are 66th generation grandchildren-contemporary pen masters Liu Haoyou, Liu Lanting, Liu, Liu Haokui, Ho Leung Lau and their younger brother Liu Xuecheng.

"Historical Records" contains: "General Meng pulled out Zhongshan, and the first emperor sealed the city and became famous all over the world." Meng Tian led the troops south to Chu Zhongshan, which is now Jingxian County, Anhui Province. According to Meng Tiannan's attack on Zhongshan in Chu, Qin Shihuang put down the rebellion in Chu, created the first stroke in Qin Dynasty, and made great achievements, making Guancheng a fief in Meng Tiandu. Guancheng is now Zhengzhou, where the capital was built in the early Shang Dynasty. The Yellow River Basin has been the birthplace of the Chinese nation since ancient times, and Guancheng, located in the center of the Yellow River Basin, is the place where Chinese splendid culture blooms. From then on, as we all know, Meng Tian was a hero who conquered Chu and became famous all over the world. Guancheng is the fief of Meng Tian, so "Meng Tian Pen" first spread widely in Guancheng and the Central Plains, and then spread to all parts of the country from the Central Plains. As we all know, Meng Tian is the originator of China's pen-making. Because the fief of Montaigne was in Guancheng, in order to commemorate and celebrate the founder of pen making, later generations called the writing brush "Guanchenghou" and "Guanchengzi". "Guanchenghou" and "Guanchengzi" have become synonymous with writing brush, which continues to this day.

Emperor Xiang was a viscount country enfeoffed in the Western Zhou Dynasty, called Xiangzi country. In 225 BC, Chu moved its capital to Chen, taking Xiang as another capital. The Qin Dynasty belongs to Yingchuan County. Xiangxiang County was established in the early Han Dynasty, and Xiangcheng County was changed in the Southern Dynasties. For thousands of years, this land has been one of the centers of political, military and cultural activities in the hinterland of ancient Central Plains. According to the Records of Xiangcheng County, there are many ancient cultural sites in Xiangcheng, and by 20 13 years, 13 sites had been discovered. Some of these ancient cultural sites belong to Longshan cultural site, some belong to Peiligang cultural site, and there is an ancient site called Sundian site near Liushi village in Ruyang. Sundian site is located 35 kilometers southwest of the county seat, near the northeast of Sundianji, and adjacent to Zhouzhuang Village in the north. Now it is agricultural land, slightly higher than the surrounding ground, with a width of 180m from east to west, a length of 200m from north to south, a cultural layer of 70cm and an area of 36000m2. It belongs to Longshan culture and Shang culture. After many investigations, the site found ancient stone tools such as stone axe, stone chisel and stone arrow. The collection of pottery pieces is mainly Longshan culture. There are also remnants of feet and cylinder edges, decorated with rope patterns and additional pile patterns, which belong to Shang Dynasty cultural relics. 1978, the site was announced as a county-level key cultural relics protection unit. It can be seen that Xiangcheng, located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, is also one of the birthplaces of Chinese culture.

In memory of Meng Tian, the founder of Ruyang Pen-making, and Liu Yin, the "Meng Tian Pen", Meng Tian Temple and Liu Yin Temple were built in the east of Liushi Village in Ruyang from Yuan to 14th year (AD 1354). In the 23rd year of the Republic of China (AD 1934), it was rebuilt and expanded. "Make a modest effort to secure the world, repair the Great Wall with martial arts, and value harmony", that is, red lacquer couplets embedded on both sides of the entrance of the main hall of Meng Tian Temple, fully express Meng Tian's historical achievements and Ruyang Liu Ren's reverence and nostalgia for Meng Tian. The Liu family in Ruyang has never forgotten their ancestors and has been admired for generations. They also designated the 3rd day of the third lunar month (Meng Tian's birthday) as a temple fair, which lasted for a long time until the early 1960s. Mengtian Temple and Liu Yin Temple were destroyed in the "Cultural Revolution" in the late 1960s. Among the temple ruins, as of today, there is an upside-down ancient pagoda planted by Liu Songshan, a pen maker in the 11th year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (AD 1806), which is still flourishing and stands tall, symbolizing the pen maker's love for art and longevity.

30 kilometers northwest of Liushi Village in Ruyang, there is Mengtian Tomb in Shuzhuang Township of Shangshui County, which is a key cultural relic protection unit in Henan Province with a history of more than 2,000 years. Every year, in Tomb-Sweeping Day, Liu Bi-calligraphers in Ruyang pay homage to the tomb and burn incense on it, which fully proves the deep historical relationship between Liu Bi-calligrapher in Ruyang and Meng Tian.
