The history of hard pen development
During the exploration and archaeological excavations in the last century, western explorers and archaeologists from China discovered more than 10 hard pens made of bamboo tubes, reed pipes, bamboo chips, red willows and other materials in the west of China. 1906, an Englishman Stein found a reed pen at the Milan site in Ruoqiang County, Xinjiang. 1972, an archaeologist in China found a double-petal pointed bamboo pen at the Zhangyibao site in Wuwei, Gansu Province. From the modeling point of view, these two kinds of pens are very similar, both of which are finely polished by wooden materials, with sharp tips and horse ears.
Surprisingly, there is a gap in the middle of the tongue of these two pens, which is double-pointed, similar to today's tongue. 199 1 year, a miner found a Han dynasty enamel, two bronze arrows and a bamboo slip at the site of Gaowang Lane on the southeast bank of Halanaoer Lake in northwest Dunhuang City. This is the earliest bamboo cone pen found in China so far, which is nearly two thousand years ago.
Li Zhengyu said that there is a record in the history books of China that "most ancient pens are made of bamboo", and this bamboo pen of Han Dynasty found in the site of Gaowangxiang in Dunhuang belongs to this category. The shape of the pen is flat, with one end flush and the other sharp. Judging from the paint traces left on the nib, it has obviously been used for writing, which just confirms the historical fact of "bamboo stick dipped in paint to write" in ancient China.
