This pen uses the technique of linking and inserting two double-headed miniature Zihao brushes into a bamboo pen tube with a cavity. The pen tube is filled with the four characters “Jing Tian Wei Di” in blue official script
Regarding this pen, Shen Chu of the Qing Dynasty recorded in his “Notes of the Western Qing Dynasty”: “The pen for the imperial court in Zhejiang Province… is famous for its mastery of heaven and earth. Four pens are hidden in the tube, but they are still usable. Although their sharp edges are slightly short and sluggish, the rest are suitable for use.” Based on Shen Chu’s experience in the Qing Dynasty palace, we can know the approximate historical era, characteristics, and production area of this pen
This pen is a classic brush of the Qing Dynasty, with a subtle design that reflects the ingenuity and wisdom of pen makers in the Qing Dynasty
