The brush pen,one of the "Four Treasures of the Study",was invented thousands of years ago.
However,the oldest pen was just a stick or a piece of bamboo.It was difficult for people to write well on
thin silk.
It is said that Meng Tian,a general of the Kingdom Qin,improved the pen.When Meng was leading
an army to fight against the Kingdom of Chu,he had to report the situation to his king in time.But his pen
was too hard and caused him much trouble,so he was thinking of ways to improve it.
One day after hunting,Meng made his way home with some wild rabbits on the horse back.Fat and
heavy,one rabbit's tail left a long trail (on the ground when they moved on.Suddenly a good idea
came to his mind when he saw it,"If I tie the rabbit's hair to a stick,would it be easy to write with?"
On arriving home,he tied the rabbit's hair to a stick and tried writing with it.But the rabbit's hair was
too smooth to write well and wasted a lot of silk.Meng was so disappointed that he threw away his
“invention'”into a stone hole in the yard..
However,Meng never gave up and kept trying all the time.A few rainy days later,he happened to find
his"invention"fatter in a stone hole.He picked it up with hope.The brush worked beautifully on silk.It
turned out that the special water had cleaned the oil from the hair.Meng succeeded at last.
Thanks to Meng,the brush pen is playing a key role in Chinese culture.Today,students are taught to
use the brush pens in school.It makes their life more colorful and helps them better understand Chinese
culture.

smoking habit may even make your hair become gray.Changing your smoking habit is changing your life.
Having a long to do list day after day

thing to the next,and caught in too much business,you are turning older fast,because your too long to-do

physical diseases.It can also cause mental health problems or make the problems worse and worse.
