The earliest inks were dark water and blood of randomly selected animals. Later, human beings discovered metals, which were used as tools for production and life. Clever ancient Egyptians first made a nib out of copper, and then tied it to a wooden tube that could store ink. This may be the earliest pen.
Later, people not only used goose feather, duck feather and crow pencil to write on soft paper, but also greatly accelerated the writing speed and played a role in the history of pens.

Chuanbi is mainly produced in Chengdu, Nanba, Leshan, Nanchong, Xuyong and Mianyang. The wool, wolf hair, chicken feathers and bristles produced are famous for their "combination of rigidity and softness, warmth and fullness". There are bristles in Shu, which provides material guarantee for bristle pens in Shu. At the same time, the use of bristles has had a far-reaching impact on the historical painting school. Chuanbi, Jiajiang Xuan Paper and Soquin Kestone are outstanding representatives of Sichuan stationery.
Chuan pen is influenced by pen and gel pen. Traditional Sichuan pen-making faces the problems of inheritance and technical inheritance, and at the same time, talents are dying. At present, only a few people, such as Ma Xiangyang from Bizhuang in Taihe, Wang Yanxing from Yongqing Pavilion in Leshan, Feng Zongfu from Jintai Brush in Nanchong and Zhang Naiyu from Bairen Pavilion in Xuyong, are still sticking to this traditional handicraft skill.
Hu pen is free and easy and durable, and is known as "the best brushwork in the world". The origin of Hu Bi is Shanlian Town, Nanxun District, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province.
