The word pencil has a long history in Chinese, dating back to the Tang Dynasty. The word "lead" in the pencil name is due to the lead filler used in early pencils, while "pen" refers to the tool for writing and painting. With the passage of time, the filler in the pencil gradually changed from lead to other materials such as graphite, but the name "pencil" has been used to this day.
