Writing brush

　　Sanqing Mountain is rich in arrow bamboo, which provides abundant raw materials for the brush-making industry. In the ninth year of the Xianfeng reign during the Qing Dynasty (1859), the brush-making industry began to develop at the foot of Sanqing Mountain. To this day, it has expanded to produce more than 30 varieties. Existing manufacturers include the Yushan County Writing Brush Craft Factory and the Yushan County Fine Seeds Farm Writing Brush Craft Factory. In addition to lower-end silver-tip brushes, the products also include purple-tip brushes (also known as Iron Bone Ice Flesh) and wolf-hair brushes (also known as Premium Pure Purple Wolf-Hair Brushes) among medium- and high-end writing brushes. The annual output is around 300,000 brushes. Apart from a small portion sold domestically, most are exported to Southeast Asian countries, especially enjoying strong popularity in the Japanese market. (Yushan County)
