Writing Brush
毛笔
The writing brush has a long history in China. In the beginning, people wrote with bamboo sticks on bamboo slips. Around the time of the Warring States Period 2 200 years ago，the ancient Chinese began to tie rabbit hair to bamboo sticks to make the first writing brushes. The brushes of the early period were crude and simple, while later ones made of a mixture of deer hair and wool are characterized by the correct stiffness and good workmanship.
在中国毛笔有着悠久的历史。一开始，人们用竹子在竹简书写。大约在战国2200年前，中国古人就开始用兔毛扎到竹签上，做成了第一只毛笔。初期的刷子粗糙而简单，后来有人用鹿毛和羊毛的混合制成毛笔，这种毛笔刚硬正好，很好书写。
