    Many folk historical documents and materials say that the first brush was indeed from the hand of Meng Tian.

    It is said that Meng Tian led the army to fight with the Chu State, the battle was very fierce, and the duration was particularly long, but at present, in order to let the King of Qin know the news of the war money in time, it was necessary to write a lot of war reports about the Tibetan situation from time to time, but at that time, the way to write the war report was usually to use some bamboo sticks, and then write on the Hu Ministry after the ink, but because the bamboo stick itself is particularly dry and hard, so when the ink is dipped again, there will be a lot of ink droplets hanging down if you can't write a few words. Not to mention the stained fabric, and the black and white cloth written out is particularly unclean, rightIt was a great problem in terms of real-time communication, so Meng Tian had the idea of transforming the writing instrument.

    Once when Meng Tian led the army out hunting, he found that the rabbit tail he was holding in his hand was drawn on the ground one by one, just like the strokes of writing. But this first attempt was obviously unsuccessful, and the brush made from the rabbit's tail hair would find that the hair was too hard, and it was not much better than a bamboo stick when used, so he threw the brush directly under the foot of the mountain, and the next day when Meng Tian passed by the foot of the mountain, he found that the brush suddenly became much larger.

    Meng Tian touched it with his hand, and found that the rabbit fur became very soft after absorbing water, and the water absorption is particularly strong, so it will be very smooth when used to write, and the font is also full, and it looks very good-looking. However, this is also a folklore about the first brush to come to the history books, for whether the brush was really created by Meng Tian, there is no exact record in the historical books, and there is no way to verify.

    It shouldn't be, because with the current archaeological discoveries, the prototype of the brush has been found in the unearthed cultural relics as early as before the Qin Dynasty, and Meng Tian just innovated the brush.

    In fact, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were brushes, but Meng Tian felt that the previous brushes were too hard and difficult to write on the cloth, so he improved the structure of the brush, and only then did he have a brush that was easy to use.

    This is indeed true, because at the time they had a basis for inventing simple brushes instead of carving letters on trees.

    The brush is one of the four treasures of the study, and it is a writing tool that the ancients could not do without. Before the creation of the brush, people used knives to carve characters on materials such as bamboo and wooden boards.

    According to legend, Qin Shi Huang.

    The general Meng Tian.

    The garrison frontier often had to report the military situation to the emperor. Due to the rapid changes in the border situation, frequent correspondence with paperwork, and the speed of knife engraving, Meng Tian casually tore off a pinch of red tassels from the ** in the soldier's hand and tied it to the bamboo pole, dipped in the color for writing. It is believed that Meng Tian used the prototype of the brush, so Meng Tian was respected as the "ancestor of the brush" by later generations.

    In fact, long before the era in which Meng Tian lived, there were already brushes. On the Neolithic faience unearthed from the Banpo site in Xi'an, there are many smooth lines and patterns, which are obviously drawn with a brush from the morphological point of view. Oracle bone inscriptions of the Shang Dynasty.

    There are also traces of writing with a brush. On the three ox blade plates unearthed in Yinxu, there are several words written with a brush.

    On some tortoise shell pieces, you can also see some unengraved characters still leaving traces of Shi Zhu's ink, which can be inferred that people have been writing with brushes for at least 3,500 years. The first collection of poems in ancient ChinaThe Book of SongsIt contains poems from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period, which contains the sentence "Yi I Tong Guan", and some people believe that "Tong Guan" is the brush with a red pen barrel.

    The earliest brushes found by archaeology were made in the Warring States period and are known as "Warring States pens". In 1954, in Changsha, Hunan.

    In an unearthed tomb of Chu in the Warring States period, a fine brush was found, about 21 centimeters long and centimeters in diameter, and the tip of the pen was made of high-quality rabbit arrow hair, which is very similar to the brush used today. This "Chu pen" is by far the oldest brush in the world.

    Summary: Before Qin unified the Six Kingdoms, the brush was in the Chu State.

    It is called "Yu", in the country of Wu.

    It's called "Buyu", in the country of Yan.

    It is called "Fu", and only the Qin State called the brush "pen". The brush also has many names such as "Guan Chengzi", "Mao Awl", "Zhongshu Jun", "Mao Yingjun" and so on.

    Although Meng Tian was not the inventor of the brush, he made improvements to the method of making the brush. According to records, Meng Tian used deer hair in the middle of the nib and wrapped the wool around the outer layer, so that the nib made was both rigid and soft, which was convenient for writing. Although Meng Tian was revered as the "ancestor of the brush" by later generations, the era in which the brush appeared was much earlier than the era in which he lived.

    During the Qingming Festival, the ancestor worship ceremony of the Nanchong Mengshi clan was held in Mengjiashan, Beiyakou Village, Daxing Township, Jialing District, and more than 200 Mengshi clan relatives from Shunqing, Gaoping, Xichong, Nannan, Chongqing, Suining, Panzhihua and other places gathered around the bench rock in front of an ancient tomb and bowed to the ancestors.

    Shunqing, Jialing, Gaoping, Xichong, Nanfang and other places now have Montessori settlements, and Jintai Town, Shunqing District, is the place with the largest number of Montessori settlements in Nanchong. Meng Biao, whose hometown is in Mengchenggong Village, Jintai Town, introduced that Jintai Town is known as the hometown of brushes, and the local people need to go through 108 processes to make brushes, and by the early 80s of the last century, there are still hundreds of people in the town to make brushes, and there are several pen markets built in the market. The local Montessori Puwan Zhaopan believes that Meng Tian invented the brush, and the Montessori ancestor brought the pen-making process to Jintai.

    Bury rough rent. It is rumored that in 223 BC, Meng Tian led his troops to fight outside, in order to let the King of Qin know the battle situation in time, Meng Tian regularly wrote war reports to play the King of Qin, but the writing tools used at that time were very slow. One day, Meng Tian beat a few hares back to the camp, and the tail of one rabbit was dragged to the ground, and the blood and water dragged out zigzag marks on the ground. Meng Tian was greatly inspired to use rabbit tails to make brushes, and after many experiments and improvements, he summed up the 108 processes of pen making, and only then did he have a brush that was later called one of the four treasures of the study.

    Whether the Jintai pen-making process was taught by Meng Tian's descendants has no real evidence. Meng Biao introduced, but in Mengchenggong Village and Diya Village in Jintai Town, more than 90% of the villagers have the surname Meng. More than 60 years ago, Mengchenggong Village built a Mengshi family temple, and the shrine of the family temple is the same as the shrine of the Mengjia compound in Daxing Township, Jialing District.

    The descendants of the Montessori believe that the ancestor enshrined on the shrine should be the famous general Meng Tian of the Qin Dynasty.

    It's true, Meng Tian also has the title of "pen ancestor", according to the legend, Meng Tian is indeed the inventor of the brush, because at that time Meng Tian was fighting on the front line, and the war was tight, and he needed to report a lot of information to Qin Shi Huang every day, but he used to write on cloth and silk when he was very slow. So he thought of a way to make a brush with rabbit fur, which greatly improved the writing speed, so he also became the "pen ancestor".

    Meng Tian is a great general during the Qin Dynasty, he laid a lot of rivers and mountains for Qin Shi Huang, and he was the capital of the country with foreign thieves and internal security, so his general did the first person in the history of the Qin Dynasty, because every war, whether he won or lost, he had to report to Qin Shi Huang, but in the Qin Dynasty, people used bamboo to write, with cloth or with a knife to carve, the speed was particularly slow. It takes a long time to finish writing a notebook every time, so Meng Tian has been thinking about improving the speed of writing, and one time he went out hunting with the soldiers, and caught a rabbit, and then when the soldiers took the rabbit back, they dragged a long scratch on the ground.

    After Meng Tian saw it, he suddenly thought, if I use rabbit fur to make a brush to make a pen, it will not be very fast to write, but rabbit hair is oily, it is difficult to get ink, and the words written are very ugly. So Meng Tian was very angry that the pen made of rabbit fur was lost, and after a few days, he was still worried about this problem, so he went to pick up the pen again, and he didn't expect that the pen was soaked in water for many days because it was lost in the ravine, and after being dipped in ink again, it was very full, and the pen was good to write a lot. So Meng Tian gave this patent to the whole country, and there was a brush later, but some people said that the brush was not invented on the battlefield, but in Shanlian Village.

    And at that time, after they invented the brush, Meng Tian and his wife also gave this skill to the people in Shanlian Village, so this place is also known as "Pen Township".

    Although many people say that the brush was there before the Qin Dynasty, it has to be said that Meng Tian is its promoter, so he is called "the ancestor of the pen".

    Meng Tian is not the inventor of the brush, but the improver of the brush. The brush was there before Meng Tian made the pen, but the brush made by Meng Tian was made of rabbit fur, and the writing was smoother.
