 DID YOU KNOW THAT...?
 "Rat bristle" (鼠须 / 鼠毫) in traditional Chinese nomenclature does not literally mean a brush with rat hair. It is a historical name for a type of brush, referring to very fine, springy, dark bristles, not to a specific animal. In practice, the bristles are made of weasel hair or a mixture of weasel, ermine, and rabbit hair.
