The ancient Chinese written using brushes made from camel hair brush or mouse hair. At the end of a stick tied hair brush impregnated with glue. For large operations on fine silk brushes that were used were just a few hairs stuck to the end of a hollow reed. All over 10,000 Chinese characters are based on only 8 brushstrokes.
