summary

Wengang town in Jinxian county is the hometown of Yan Shu, a famous poet in the Northern Song Dynasty. It is also known as the "capital of Chinese writing". Wengang, as early as the early Tang Dynasty, had a pen market, and the production of brush has a long history. It is said that more than 2100 years ago, the skill of making brush was taught by Guo Jie and Zhu Xing of Xianyang in the Qin Dynasty. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Wang Xizhi, a local historian and calligrapher of Linchuan, used the writing brush of Wengang. In the preface of Tengwang Pavilion, Wang Bo of Tang Dynasty had the ode of "illuminating the brush of Linchuan" (Wengang was under the jurisdiction of Linchuan before 1969).

In the Qing Dynasty, the Zou family in Qiantang of Wengang operated a "Ziguang Pavilion" brush chain store in Wuhan, and the business was prosperous. Another person named Zhou Huchen opened a brush shop in Shanghai. When Emperor Qianlong went to Jiangnan, he personally wrote a plaque entitled "Zhou Huchen" to make exquisite royal tribute pens, which were regularly presented to the imperial court. In addition, there were also "Ziguang Pavilion", "wenzhaoxuan", "jinhongtang" and other famous pens in Wengang town Shop. At that time, the brush of Wengang not only sold well in China, but also exported to Vietnam, Myanmar, Japan, Singapore and other Southeast Asian countries. By the 1930s, pen makers in Wengang had spread to more than 20 provinces and cities in China,

There are no less than 20 pen factories with more than 50 people in the town. During the ten-year turmoil of the cultural revolution, the pen making industry in Wengang was almost forced to stop production due to the extreme left trend of "cutting the tail of capitalism". After the reform and opening up, there are more than 1400 traditional brush factories (family workshops) in Wengang, with more than 6000 employees, and the largest brush Market in China has been formed.

It's soft in hardness, strong in water absorption, fluent in writing, sharp as a thread. When you write, you can draw the silver hook with iron.
