HISTORY

The making of the Scholar’s Brush dates back to the Tang Dynasty.

There was a student who wanted to go to the Capital City for examination. However, he was so poor that he could not even afford a calligraphy brush. Coincidentally, he saw his wife carrying their first month old baby in her arm and the idea of using their baby’s hair to make a calligraphy brush came to him. Without delay, he had the brush made and set off his journey to the Capital City for examination. During the examination, the student could feel an enormous power pushing him to success. Not long after, his result was recognized and was awarded the “Scholar” title. Since then, this legend spread to every household and the Scholar’s Brush became an auspicious souvenir for the baby. The Brush is not only believed to bring good health and wisdom to the child, but also show the love and care of the parent to present such sentimental gift to the child.
