How did the pen evolve? The evolution of the pen in China ?

The advent of the pen has a history of thousands of years. In our country, there has been a pen since there was writing. The "pen" that was first used by our ancestors was made of sharp stones.

Besides, after the invention of the fountain pen in a foreign country. Later, the pencil was invented, and the pencil originally consisted of a shaved lead in the hand to write. Finally, people invented the fountain pen.

This invention was a turning point for the pen. Fountain pens are both easy to use and convenient. Therefore, after its invention, it was very popular with customers.

The history of the development of the pen can be divided into 3 periods:

1) The original period of writing with a rod The birth of the pen was just a bare pole from the branches, sticks, bones, etc. used to draw symbols on the ground, but it was this simplest thing that drew the oldest writing of mankind, the ancient Sumerians used this pen to draw the world-famous hieroglyphs on the clay tablet, the charcoal stick can draw black traces, the ancient Egyptians used it to record their own hieroglyphs, and later due to the carrier of the text oracle bones and stone tablets, so there were knives and pens. The knife and pen are also rod-type, and it appeared to deal with hard oracle bones and stones. Since the ancients discovered that the charcoal stick can be used to write words, this method has been used, and found that graphite can also be scribbled, but whether the charcoal stick or graphite stick is very easy to stain the hand, the intelligent human beings in the charcoal stick and graphite stick outside the coat, mostly softwood, that is, the current pencil, its biggest feature is that the handwriting is easy to change, eraser erase, the handwriting is completely gone.

2) dipping pen period With the development of text carriers to cloth and bamboo slips, the period of writing with rods slowly ended, the second generation of dipping pens began to appear, which is second to none to the brush, the brush to make the bamboo rod, the animal's hair for the pen head, the animal's hair is moderately soft and hard, strong water absorption, but because the brush is too high for holding the pen posture, the speed of the pen and other aspects are too high, so the dipping pen has another form --- quill, people find that the long feathers of the bird's wing tail are harder, suitable for hand holding, The feather stem is hollow again, just enough to dip in ink, and it is quite convenient to write, so the quill came into being, but it has many shortcomings, such as the amount of water in the quill is not easy to control, and the handwriting is thick and thin, and it is not good to drip ink on the paper.

3) The period of the portable pen Since the mid-80s of the 19th century, on the basis of the quill pen, the fountain pen was invented, and the fountain pen quickly replaced the traditional quill and became the main writing instrument of the 20th century. Fountain pen is also called fountain pen, it is a portable pen made according to the principle of air pressure, the pen bile is an empty small cylinder, squeeze it to make the air discharge, let go of the space volume inside the increase, the pressure becomes smaller, the internal and external greater pressure makes the ink suck into the pen bibladder, the ink that is pressed into the writing is flowed out with the tip of the pen under the action of gravity, so that the writing does not have to keep dipping in ink, greatly saving time, and the writing is smooth, convenient, and later, the ballpoint pen that is more convenient for writing was invented, because it is an oil-based writing material, It avoids the trouble that the fountain pen will leak ink, and the writing time is longer, lighter, more convenient and more economical, so it is deeply loved by modern people.

When the ancient people created writing, they began to use sharp stone tools, animal bones and branches to engrave words on stone walls, flat ground, tree bark, and oracle bones, which is probably the prototype of the pen.

The earliest inks were dark water and blood from randomly selected animals. Later, humans discovered metals and used them in production and living tools. The clever ancient Egyptians first made nibs out of copper and then tied them to wooden tubes that could be stored in ink.

This is probably the earliest fountain pen.

Later, people wrote on soft paper with goose feathers, duck feathers and crow pencils, more than the previous pens, but greatly accelerated the writing speed and played a role in the history of the pen.

Hello, Peter's oxidation process is usually written with that bamboo abbreviation at the beginning, with a brush at the end, and now with a hard pen.

1. In ancient China, a brush was used. Ancient Greece and Rome used to apply wax to the surface of wooden boards, and then use iron rods to write on the wax surface, and ancient Egypt and Persia used to sharpen the reed rod as a pen.

2. Since the Middle Ages, in Europe and the United States, reed pens or quill pens are used, and in 2012, the capped pencil invented by the Chinese has become a new contribution in the process of pen development history in China. With the development of society, there are more and more types of pens, such as pencils, brushes, pens, note pens, highlighters, ballpoint pens, liners, crayons, etc.

3. Nowadays, gel pens and ballpoint pens are commonly used, and pencils are mostly used to draw art sketches and drawings.

Speaking of pens, he is an indispensable item in our lives, whether in study or work, it is impossible to be missing.

In ancient times, people used a knife to carve words on the bamboo board, and later made a brush with animal hair, wrote on the brocade, and then later, people invented a dipping pen, a fountain pen, until now, there are too many types of pens, there are ballpoint pens, water-based pens, eraser pens ......

With the development of science and technology, computers, software, mobile phones, can replace the pen to write, but, no matter what is stupid and slippery, can not compare with the convenience and speed of the pen, because the pen is convenient and fast, plus the state writing is very smooth, so people like it very much.

However, modern pens also have their disadvantages, such as water-based pens leakage, ballpoint pen beads, fountain pens are easy to drop the nib and so on.
