Huzhou brush is abbreviated as the lake pen. It is the leader in the brush. It is well-known for its excellent production and excellent quality. It has become synonymous with writing brush.
Lake pen is a typical representative of Huzhou culture, which is born and produced in the rich cultural environment of Huzhou. As a state of cultural relics, Huzhou has contributed a splendid lake pen culture to the people of the Zhuxu era. The lake pen is not only a wonderful flower in the long history of Chinese civilization, but also the pride and projection of Huzhou culture.
The origin of the brush in our country is very early, and the lake pen is famous in the world, when the Yuan Dynasty was six or seven hundred years ago. Before the Yuan, the national name was the most famous. After the Yuan Dynasty, Xuanbi gradually replaced the Lake Pen and laid the crown of the brush. The lake pen is called the four treasures of the Wenfang together with Huimo, Duanqi and Xuan paper. The fame of the lake pen is related to Zhao Mengfu, a great painter of the Yuan Dynasty. He is very concerned about and pays attention to the local lake pen making skills. According to the "Huzhou Fuzhi", he once asked people to make pens for him. Even if one is unsatisfactory, it will be re-made and the requirements are very strict. This strict quality requirement has been passed down to this day.
There are many varieties of pens and pens in the lake. There are more than 300 varieties in three categories: soft, versatile and hard. Take Yangmu as an example. Traditionally, only the high-quality goat wool produced in the area around Hangjiahu is selected. The sheep in this area are top grade, and the front is tender and pure. The selection of materials in the lake pen is strict. The main purpose is to use the goat's underarm hair. The raw materials must be dried in the sun, remove the dirt, and then immersed in water for classification according to the characteristics of oblate, straight, long and short. It is generally known as the crown of the pen after more than 70 processes such as dip, pull, and comb. The pen of the lake pen is mainly taken from the chicken bamboo under the Lingfeng Mountain in the north of Tianmu Mountain in the west of Zhejiang. This kind of bamboo is thin and straight, and the bamboo has small gaps. It is an ideal raw material for making pens.
The exquisite craftsmanship of the lake pen is an important part of the lake pen culture with distinctive regional characteristics. However, the transformation of social culture, the innovation of writing tools, and the one-sided pursuit of economic benefits have led to the emergence of defective products, the loss of artisans and the lack of inheritance in the production of lake pens. The traditional lake pen skills have been greatly affected and urgent measures are needed to protect them. . This situation has attracted the attention of relevant state departments. In February 2002, Lake Pen was approved as a geographical indication protection product. In May 2006, the technology of lake pen production was approved by the State Council to be included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage. Protection and inheritance have embarked on a path of standard and healthy development.
