Chapter 364 The reason why Songmo is Songmo

Cao Morong walked over step by step with a cane. He took the microphone in Zhong Yue's hand and said with a smile: "It seems that Mr. Zhong doesn't know much about Huimo, so let me tell you what Huizhou Songmo." Hui ink inheritance for thousands of years, Huizhou ink making time should not be later than the Tang Dynasty, it is the most beloved token of calligraphers and painters. The ancients Zeng Yun: 'Those who have good ink are like famous generals who have good horses.' ’”

"What else?"

Cao Morong said: "Hui Mo is mainly made of pine smoke, tung oil smoke, lacquer smoke and glue as the main raw materials of a special pigment mainly used in traditional calligraphy and painting. After lighting cigarettes, materials, grinding and drying, frustration, gold painting, boxing and other processes refined, the finished product has the characteristics of black color, hard and bright, not dizzy into the paper, licking the pen without glue, lasting for a long time, rich fragrance, moth-proof and so on. There are many varieties of ink in the past dynasties, integrating painting, calligraphy, carving, modeling and other arts, making the ink itself a comprehensive art treasure. The production techniques of Huimo are complex, and different genres have their own unique production techniques, which are often kept secret. How about my introduction, Mr. Zhong is satisfied?"

"You haven't explained the last question to me. What's the difference between this pine smoke ink and lacquer smoke ink?"

Cao Morong said: "Didn't I explain it in my previous introduction? This pine smoke ink is naturally made of pine wood to light cigarette and take ink as raw materials, and this lacquer smoke ink is naturally made of oil smoke, which can be understood literally, why? Mr. Zhong still wants to play word games with me?"

Zhong Yue smiled and walked to Cao Xilan's side, and the camera also moved over.

"Since there is a difference between the ink and the smoke of lacquer, why is the ink color of this purple jade the same as the oil smoke and ink?" Zhong Yue picked up the rice paper and circled around.

Cao Morong frowned and said, "What's the matter? The ink color of this purple jade is obviously better than your ink, are you questioning everyone's eyes?"

"Mr. Cao, please pay attention to your ears, I am asking, what is the difference between this purple jade and oil smoke ink?"

"Zhong Yue, don't confuse the public here! Are you so vexatious?" Cao Xilan stood up directly, looked at Zhong Yue and said.

Cao Morong put Cao Xilan aside, "Mr. Zhong, go on, listen to the old man." ”

"Since it's Doumo, let's make it clear. I don't know what age this purple jade was produced, and I don't know how famous Cao's ink industry was. I can only tell you very sincerely now that this purple light jade is not worthy of being called pine smoke ink at all. ”

“……”

“……”

“……”

A young man standing on the second floor blurted out: "Zhong ...... Mr. Zhong, is he crazy?"

Someone on the side immediately glared at him.

However, Sao Nian's words seem to speak the hearts of many people......

Cao Morong was stunned for a while, and said: "Zhong Yue, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and in this way, it is a bit embarrassing and embarrassing. ”

Zhong Yue ignored it and continued to follow his train of thought and said, "Anyone who agrees with my point of view can come over and get the microphone in my hand now." ”

Hu Shimin walked over, wanting to speak, but he was a little timid. He hadn't spoken in front of so many people, and if he was in the ink room, he would have started to tear off like an old fritter.

"Can you give me a cigarette?"

"Master Hu, you can't smoke here. ”

“……”

Hu Shimin said: "Orthodox pine smoke ink, the ink is black but unassuming, vigorous, restrained, deep and clumsy. It is mostly used to paint people's eyebrows, splash ink landscapes, etc., calligraphy, and there are few people who like to use pine smoke ink, so the pine smoke ink of the old ink factory is generally not sold, and the raw materials are insufficient, so the sales are not good, and the production has been discontinued for a long time. ”

Director Huang rushed out, "You are talking nonsense! When did the production of pine smoke ink in our old ink factory cease to be produced......? That...... That gold is not exchanged, and that green ink, isn't it all pine smoke ink? Old Hu, you are full of wine today, right?

Hu Shimin shook his head and said: "The current pine smoke ink is mixed with oil smoke, just like paint smoke ink, my master said when he was alive that the real ink is divided into three categories, paint smoke, pine smoke and oil smoke. The so-called lacquer smoke ink, the ancient method is pine branches dipped in lacquer, slag refining, oil smoke is now this set of cigarette ink, as for pine smoke, just like Mr. Zhong's ink method, this is the pure pine smoke ink, and because the ink color is deep and clumsy, it is mistaken for a low-grade ink product, so it has not been sold at a high price, the price of every two pine smoke ink may be 20 to 30 yuan, and now, since the oil smoke, because the ink color is also like the oil smoke ink, bright and black, the price has risen to every two hundred upwards......"

There was a sigh from those present.

"Oh my God, there are so many doorways out there?"

"I thought this black ink ingot didn't have any flowers, but I didn't expect the water inside to be so deep!"

"It's been a long experience!"

Listening to the sound of rustling around him, Cao Morong blushed and said angrily: "It's completely nonsense! You colluded with him!"

Zhong Yue looked at Cao Morong's angry appearance and said: "The modern era of our Chinese nation is bumpy and tortuous, and it is precisely because of such a history that many ancient traditions have been gradually westernized, or lost. The same is true for pine smoke ink, I am very fortunate to have such a bucket of ink, and Mr. Cao himself said that he wanted to test pine smoke ink, so that I, as well as my ink-making instructor Mr. Hu Shimin, will tell you the real traditional knowledge of pine smoke ink. ”

Zhong Yue said: "We don't want to investigate from what era the pine smoke ink is mixed with oil smoke, nor do we investigate whether this is a self-adjustment of the formula or deceiving consumers, what I want to do now is that the reason why pine smoke is pine smoke, that is it - different!"

"The oil smoke ink is relatively warm, and the thick ink is slightly reflected on the paper and seems to be a little shiny. Historically, before the Yuan Dynasty, most of the ink used pine smoke ink, and the production of pine smoke ink reached its peak in the Song Dynasty. It was only in the Ming Dynasty that oil smoke ink gradually flourished and developed to the highest peak.

After the Ming Dynasty, the production and use of oil smoke ink slowly surpassed that of pine smoke and gradually became the mainstream, especially when the invention of ink, pine smoke ink was actually greatly affected, because not all people like this matte, simple and pale ink color, so I created this landscape painting today, the purpose is not to show off painting skills, but to tell you that the real pine smoke ink, it is irreplaceable!

"There are only people who don't know how to use pine ink, and there is no such thing as pine ink must be mixed with oil and smoke ink!"
