What is the origin of the brush?

Brush is a traditional writing and painting tool originated in China. It is said that the writing brush was created by Meng Tian. Houdian in Hengshui, Hebei Province and Shanlian in Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, which are known as the hometown of brush, celebrated with Jiaozi on the third day of the third lunar month to commemorate Meng Tian's creation of brush.

It was a day in 223 BC, when Meng Tian shot some wild rabbits and returned to the barracks. When he saw the rabbit tail, he thought, "Isn't it better to write with the rabbit tail instead of the ordinary pen?"

After returning to the barracks, Meng Tian immediately cut off a rabbit's tail, put it on a bamboo tube and tried to write with it, but the rabbit's hair was shiny and didn't absorb ink. In a rage, he threw the "rabbit brush" into the rock pit in front of the door.

A few days later, when Meng Tian walked through the rock pit, he saw the rabbit brush in the pit again. Meng Tian picked it up and found that the rabbit hair was wet, and the color became whiter and softer. Meng Tian immediately ran back to the barracks and dipped in ink, and the rabbit's tail soon absorbed enough ink. Meng Tian writes fluently with it. This is the famous story of Montaigne's pen-making in history.

For thousands of years, the writing brush has made outstanding contributions to creating the splendid culture of China and promoting the cultural exchange between China and other countries in the world.
