/kloc-When he was 0/4 years old, Cui Zibin was introduced as an apprentice to Li Fushou's pen shop in Beijing. He and Li Fushou were disciples of the same school. Later, they became unique and made a good brush, becoming a famous pen maker in Beijing at that time.
Pen-making is a skill, one of which is to carve patterns on the brush. Concentrated research and training, coupled with his unique talent, can carve more than 80 words of poems and songs on a small pen, and can also vividly carve paintings such as Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest and hide the sword with Fish Belly on it. Not only that, but also a stunt is to carve patterns on the penholder with both hands back to back, with the penholder in the left hand and the carving knife in the right hand. Blind carving takes less than 5 minutes by touching. Flowers, birds, fish, insects and landscape figures are lifelike and suddenly appear on the pen. According to legend, there were no more than three people in Beijing who had this stunt at that time, and he was one of them. Because of his exquisite skill in making brush, there are more and more customers. He often sent brushes to users, and soon met a group of painters and painters, the most famous of which was Qi Baishi. One day, Qi Baishi found Cui Zibin with a brush: "This is a pen bought from Toyo with silver dollars. It is a shame for us in China to write and draw with Japanese pens. Can you try out a better and cheaper pen than this in a year? " Encouraged by Qi Baishi, in order to cooperate with the national boycott of Japanese goods, Cui Zibin spent nine months and finally succeeded after hundreds of trials. To this end, Qi Baishi once published an article in People's Daily praising Cui Shi's brush and calling for a boycott of Japanese goods, saying that Cui Zibin's Seven Purple Three Sheep surpassed Japanese brush.
