On the corner of the blue eucalyptus bookcase, there are wenge wood brushes hanging, a few pens falling from the lake, occasionally waving their sleeves to dye it, blurring a paper of light ink remnants.

The lake pen, together with Hui ink, rice paper and Duan inkstone, is known as the "Four Treasures of Study", which is an important symbol of the long and splendid Chinese civilization.

The hometown of the lake pen is in Shanlian Town. There is a local temple of Bizu Mengtian. Legend has it that Meng Tian, the general of Qin Shi Huang, "used dead wood as a tube, deer hair as a pillar, and wool as a quilt" and invented the brush.

Lake pen, also known as Hu Ying, is one of the "four treasures of the study", known as the "pen of the "lake pen" famous in the world, when six or seven hundred years ago in the Yuan Dynasty.

Before the Yuan Dynasty, Xuanbi was the most famous in the country. Su Dongpo and Liu Gongquan both like to use Xuanzhou pens. After the Yuan Dynasty, the Xuanbi was gradually replaced by the Lake Pen.

According to the "Huzhou Mansion Chronicle", "Feng Qingke and Lu Wenbao made pens in the Yuan Dynasty, and their hometown was accustomed to it, so the lake pen name is in the world." ”

"Huzhou Feng pen is wonderful, and there is also a capable worker Shen Rixin. If you encounter Yutang waving your hand, you don't think the price is like a pearl. "People are willing to buy lake pens for a lot of money, which shows that it has an outstanding reputation.

During the Southern Song Dynasty, Xuancheng, which is located in the south of the Yangtze River, withered due to the war, so that Huzhou, which borders Xuancheng, was very fortunate to be spared from the looting of the soldiers and became the place where the remnants of the Southern Song Dynasty lived.

Some of the pen workers in Xuancheng migrated to the nearby Huzhou, relying on the only remaining brush users in the south of the Yangtze River to make a living, and to improve the pen-making process according to their needs, Hubi was born.

Legend has it that the Qin general Meng Tian "used dead wood as a tube, deer hair as a column, and wool as a quilt" to invent a brush. Therefore, Shanlian built a Mengtian temple for it.

After the death of Meng Tian, Shanlian pen workers did not forget the kindness of the pen ancestors, and donated silver to build the "Menggong Ancestral Hall" next to Yongxin Temple, also known as Mengxi.

Whenever Meng Tian and Bi Niangniang's birthdays are celebrated, a grand commemorative event is held. For thousands of years, the ancestor of the pen has been worshiped in Shanlian's gathering, hoping for the prosperity of the pen industry, and this kind of folk activities have been continued.

The so-called "Ying" refers to a neat and transparent sharp edge at the tip of the pen, which is called "sunspot" by people in the industry.

The depth of "sunspot" is the length of Fengying, which is made of high-grade goat hair through nearly 100 processes such as soaking, pulling, and, combing, connecting and combing, combing, and combing, and combing, and combing, and so on.

During the Southern Song Dynasty, Huzhou was the first choice for scholars and doctors to rest in the mountains and forests, and they and the vassal scribes sang under the green Bian, which led to the development of study utensils.

The rheology of the style of calligraphy and the splashing of freehand literati painting influenced the brushwork to shift from rabbit hair to sheep hair. Xuanzhou was close to the border of the Song and Jin dynasties, and in the one or two hundred years before the Yuan soldiers entered the Kou, some of the pen workers may have moved south to Huzhou, near the left side of Lin'an, the capital of the Song Dynasty. All this has prepared the external environment for the breeding of the lake pen.

The Song and Yuan dynasties fought for more than 40 years in south-central Anhui, and Xuancheng, located in the south of the Yangtze River, withered, while Huzhou, which borders Xuancheng, was fortunate to be spared from the looting of the soldiers and became a place where the remnants of the Southern Song Dynasty lived.

Some of the pen workers in Xuancheng migrated to the nearby Huzhou, relying on the only remaining brush users in the south of the Yangtze River to make a living, and to improve the pen-making process according to their needs, Hubi was born.

The fame of the lake pen began in the Yuan. Qian Shunju's paintings, Zhao Mengfu's characters, and Feng Yingke's pen are called Wu Xing's three uniques.

With the dominance of Zhao Zi at home and abroad, the reputation of the government and the opposition, Zhao Mengfu's "wonderful pen" in the hand of Feng Yingke, who holds the pen all day long and writes thousands of words in the day, has made the name go far and wide and is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

There is a Yuan generation, Huzhou pen making ability to work one after another, Feng Yingke, Shen Rixin, Wen Sheng, Yang Xianjun, Lu Ying and other more than ten people left their names in the history volume, and the name of "Lake Pen" was laid.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, built the capital of Nanjing, and Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, moved to Beijing. The northward relocation of the cultural center has enabled the skilled workers of the lake pen who are trying to sell it at a good price to drive a flat boat and sell pens in Beijing.

At that time, Xie Jin and others, who majored in "Yongle Canon", were very appreciative of the excellent system of Lu Ying, Lu Wenbao, Xu Yuanqi, Shi Tingyong and others, and praised them for their poems and compositions.

Subsequently, Shanlian pen work will gradually spread in the north and south of the river, the thoroughfare of Beijing, although away from the soil and still relocated, the name of "lake pen", generation is not easy.

A steady stream of pen work that is good at stunts and lake pens and pen embryos of various colors are output, maintaining the reputation of "Mao Ying's stunt is the best in the world".

The fame of the lake pen, and the Yuan Dynasty calligrapher Zhao Mengfu related, he is very concerned about the local lake pen production skills, very concerned and attached, according to the "Huzhou Mansion Chronicles" recorded that he had asked someone to make a pen for him, even if a disappointment, that is, to dismantle and remake, the requirements are very strict, this strict quality requirements, has been handed down to this day.
