Hubi is one of the "Four Treasures of the Study" and is known as the "crown of pens". Hu Bi's hometown is Shanlian Town. There is a Bizumeng Temple in the local area. According to legend, Meng Tian, the general of Qin Shihuang, invented a brush with dead wood as the tube, deer hair as the column and wool as the quilt. Therefore, Shanlian is also called Meng Xi. Why is Shan Lian's brush so excellent? One legend is credible: Sun Zhiyong, the seventh generation monk of Wang Xizhi, once lived in Yongxin Temple in Shanlian and was good at calligraphy. The people who asked for books were packed, and the bald brush was immediately buried next to the temple, named "Linbi Tomb". There were still relics before liberation, and thousands of words were passed down from generation to generation. Monk Zhiyong studied with calligraphers in Shanlian and developed a perfect brush. Since then, famous teachers have emerged in large numbers. According to "Huzhou Fuzhi", "Feng Yingke and Lu Wenbao made pens in the Yuan Dynasty, and they learned from their hometown, so Hu Bi became famous all over the world." There is a poem that says, "Huzhou Lake has a wonderful brushwork and can work well. If you wave your hand in Yutang, you will not hesitate to ask for it like a pearl. " It can be seen that the lake pen is precious.
Tiger skin is also called tiger skin. The so-called "Ying" is the neat and transparent front Ying at the tip of the pen, which is called "sunspot" by people in the industry. The depth of the "sunspot" reflects the length of Feng Ying. Hu pen is generally made of fine goat wool through nearly 100 processes, such as soaking, drawing, combing, splicing and combining. The fame of Shanlianhu Brush is closely related to Zhao Mengfu, a great painter and calligrapher in Yuan Dynasty. Zhao Mengfu, a native of Huzhou, who is known as "Japanese calligraphy is full of characters", is very concerned about and attaches great importance to the local skills of making Hu Bi. According to "Huzhou Prefecture Records", he once asked someone to make a pen, but once he was not satisfied, he took it apart and made it again. This strict quality requirement has been passed down to this day. Bai Juyi once described the exquisiteness and complexity of pen-making skills as "one stroke in a million" and "one stroke is light, but it is very important". Tiger skin has the characteristics of being sharp, neat, round and healthy, and is called the "four virtues" of tiger skin, so it is said that "Mao Ying's skill is the best in the world".
