The brushes of Huzhou, Zhejiang, and the inkstones of Anhui are well-known both at home and abroad. In Beijing, the old brand "Dai Yuexuan" specializes in Hu brushes and Hui inkstones. Dai Yuexuan Brush Shop is located on the east side of the prestigious Liulichang Cultural Street in Xuanwu District, Beijing. It was founded in 1916. Its founder, whose surname is Dai, given name Bin, and courtesy name Yuexuan, was born in Shanlian Town, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province. He learned the technology of making Hu brushes since he was a child and had superb skills. When he was young, he came to Helianqing Brush Shop in Beijing to make brushes. Later, he set up his own business and established a brush shop named "Dai Yuexuan" to sell Hu brushes. "Dai Yuexuan" is the only old brand named after a person on Liulichang Cultural Street. The original Dai Yuexuan was a small shop with a storefront in front and a factory in the back. The brushes made by the brush shop were all imported from Huzhou, Zhejiang, and made by Dai Yuexuan himself. He strives to make each brush bean sharp, neat, round, and strong. For unqualified brushes, he would rather burn them than sell them. All the brushes for sale are engraved with the words "Dai Yuexuan". Dai Yuexuan's brushes are finely crafted, with the characteristics of "not falling apart when lifted, not soft when laid down, sharp tip, and both hardness and softness", which are very popular among literati and poets. Dai Yuexuan sells four categories of brushes: goat hair (in the early years, Dai Yuexuan's goat hair was specially purchased from Jiaxing Road goats in Jiangnan as raw materials, so that the brushes made in this way are both flexible and tough), wolf hair, purple hair, and mixed hair. The forms include grabbing brushes, lifting brushes, facing brushes, large regular script, medium regular script, small regular script, long tip, short tip, etc. The names of the brushes include Qingshan Guaxue, Shucheng Huan Baie, Songchan Yizhi, Moqi Linli, etc. Qi Baishi loved the brushes produced here very much. For more than 80 years, Dai Yuexuan has taken it as its mission to develop traditional crafts and promote national culture. It has always insisted on honesty in business and sincere friendship, and has won wide praise from colleagues in the calligraphy and painting circles.
