Before the invention of the pen, people used hands as pens, replaced paper with earth, and began to draw bars on it, or draw the first bird and the first tree. Until one day, the ancestors found that there were too many facts to record, such as dates, places, major events, the composition of dinner ... so the pen was invented.
When it comes to writing, the writing brush that has puzzled China people for thousands of years is bound to do its part. One side is fine ink, and the other side is wolf hair. Which is less, an ancient scholar? A brush left a thick cocoon between the fingers of countless ancient people. Some people practiced calligraphy and dried up several tanks of water under the house. Some people soaked a pond with ink, and some people saved five big scorpions with poor handwriting. Yan Zhenqing is heavy and solemn, Wang Xizhi's pen is a dragon snake, and Zheng Banqiao's is an official script. How can a writing brush have such great charm?

Innovation, innovation, when will it be new? Later generations were cruel and tilted the pen, but the pen in their hands became different from before. A bitter war without smoke is not over, and there is no end in sight.
China people follow the golden mean, while foreigners like to use thin quill pens. But can the West, with a history of only a hundred years, compare with the glorious chapter of China for five thousand years? From the small side of this pen, we can see why. Perhaps because I am feudal, I have always despised the manners and manners of foreigners. After all, 5000 years doesn't mean you get up lightly. It's too far from the point. This topic is too heavy for me to move.
Stroke, answer, style, hook, strength, diameter, order, style, pen, pen war, pen debt, pen goes long and snake, so many derivatives, how long will it take to see through its soul?
Some people say that in this era of mouse and keyboard, pens will gradually move away from people's vision. I don't believe it, just wait with that white paper.
There are countless sorrows and endless vicissitudes at the bottom of the pen. Close the title page and suck it.
