Who used rabbit hair in a generation of Qin people?

Meng Tian, a native of A Qin, improved his brush with rabbit hair.

In 223 BC, Meng Tian, the general of the State of Qin, went to war. He regularly wrote battle reports and presented them to Qin Shihuang. It was inconvenient for people to write with bamboo sticks at that time. They dipped in ink several times and didn't write.

One day, while hunting, Meng Tian saw a rabbit's tail dragging blood on the ground, and his heart was inspired. He immediately cut off some rabbit tail hair, put it in a bamboo tube and tried to write with it. But rabbit hair is shiny and does not absorb ink. Meng Tian tried several times, but the effect was still not good, so he threw the "rabbit brush" into the stone pit in front of the door. One day, he happened to see the brush he had thrown away. After picking it up, he found that the wet rabbit hair became whiter.

He dipped the rabbit brush into the ink tray, and the rabbit tail became very obedient and wrote smoothly. It turns out that the water in the sinkhole contains calcium. After rabbit hair is soaked in alkaline water, the oil is removed and becomes soft. Legend has it that this is the origin of the brush.
