It uses thatch, or dried hay, from Guifeng Mountain as its ingredients, and undergoes a series of processes such as soaking, hammering, binding and trimming.\r\n Baisha Maolong Brush is a favorable choice for people to creat Chinese calligraphy and traditional Chinese paintings, as it presents a rustic and unrestrained style while maintaining the simplicity and grace features. The craft of Baisha Maolong brush was listed as national intangible cultural heritage in 2008. (Xinhua/Deng Hua)
