芦苇笔, 竹笔
a traditional writing tool made from a dried and shaped piece of plant material, such as a reed or bamboo, typically cut to a point and used in conjunction with ink to write or draw
A reed pen is a writing instrument made from a reed, typically a hollow plant stem, that has been sharpened to form a nib. It was traditionally used in ancient cultures for writing on materials like papyrus, parchment, or clay tablets. Reed pens are flexible and can create varying line thicknesses, depending on how much pressure is applied while writing. The nib can be split to allow ink to flow smoothly, making it useful for calligraphy and detailed writing. While reed pens are no longer as commonly used, they are still appreciated by calligraphers and artists for their unique, expressive qualities.
