Why is it called China bristle?





Pig bristles mainly refer to the long and hard bristles on the back of the spine, and the longer and hard bristles on other 

parts. 

The length of more than 1.5 inches is also called bristles. The bristles have the characteristics of uniform roots, moderate 

hardness, high oiliness, good toughness, strong elasticity, firmness, moisture resistance, heat resistance, acid resistance, 

abrasion resistance, etc., and have natural fork tips and good adsorption performance. Brushes made with it (including 

long-bristled brushes) are not easy to bend, wrap, or break, and they can be swung freely when painting, and they can 

withstand high temperatures, and they have a wide range of uses. In people's daily life, hairbrushes, clothes brushes, 

toothbrushes, shoe brushes, and small brushes for shaving, etc., which can leave the bristles? In industrial production, 

the construction industry cannot do without paint, so it cannot do without brushes. Which of the cars, trains, and ships 

in the transportation industry can leave the brush made of bristles? In the war period, in the military industry, from 

painting warships, aircraft and various military vehicles to cleaning the barrels and barrels of machine guns and artillery, 

the same cannot do without bristles.

China's bristles production status

 

1. Chinese bristles are the best. From the perspective of the main distribution areas of the world's bristles, in terms of regions, 

China should be the leader. At that time, the distribution area of Chinese bristles was indeed vast. Because pig raising is an 

important sideline in rural China, most of the people in the country also eat pork as the main meat. In addition, natural climatic

 factors (the northern temperate zone and southern cold zone have the highest yield and the best quality, followed by the 

temperate zone, and the tropical zone has less quantity but quality. Low), the pig-raising area is almost all over the country. 

Sichuan, Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu, Xikang, Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Taiwan, 

Hainan, Shandong, Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Suiyuan and Northeast provinces all produce bristles. There are four types 

of Chinese bristles: black bristles, white bristles, yellow bristles and flower bristles. The black mane producing area is the widest, 

but the quality is not good. The white bristles production area is second, with high quality and high price. The white bristles 

produced in Sichuan Rongchang and Longchang have the highest quality. Yellow bristles and flower bristles are the least distributed, 

and only produced in Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou. The yellow bristles are taken from wild boars, with long and hard bristles, 

strong elasticity, and good quality. They are most suitable for brushing, so the price is higher than domestic bristles. The flower 

pig is a hybrid breed of white pig and black pig, and its bristle is very elastic. What about the rest of the world? In the Americas, 

the United States and Brazil produce more. Before World War I, black bristles from Poland and Finland in Europe, and white bristles

from Northwestern Russia (the Soviet Union also had yellow bristles) were active in the world bristles market. After the war, 

the excellent Soviet bristles such as Okatas, Genevas and Dowors have all been extinct, and because of the slaughter of piglets 

and the cessation of raising large pigs, the length of the bristles was longer than China is short, so its output is greatly reduced. 

The production of bristles in Poland and Finland has also decreased. Instead, Europe is Germany and Asia is India. However, Indian 

bristles are affected by the climate, the bristles are soft, the roots are thin, the rigidity is poor, and the degree of washing is 

not perfect. It is not suitable for making paint brushes, and it is difficult to compete with Chinese bristles. South Africa in Africa 

also exports bristles, but its finishing work is relatively poor, and it is not a Chinese competitor at all.

 

2. China has the most bristles. From the perspective of the supply of bristles, according to archives and historical records, the average 

annual output of bristles in China was 65,100 quintals before the war. Due to the impact of the war, it was reduced to 38,640 quintals 

during the Anti-Japanese War. In terms of provinces and regions, Sichuan ranks first in the country, with an average output of 9,000 

quintals before the war, accounting for about 14% of the country’s total output. Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Guangdong and other provinces. 

As for the output of the Northeast provinces, the total amount is higher than that of Sichuan. During the Anti-Japanese War, Sichuan 

reached 9,200 quintals during the war, maintaining the level before the war, Hunan increased to 7,700 quintals during the war, and 

Yunnan and Gansu provinces also increased production, while Guangdong, Hubei, Anhui, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi were war zones. As a result, 

production has dropped sharply. There are no statistics in the occupied areas of Jiangsu, Shandong, Hebei, Shanxi, and Northeast provinces.
