Shu Hanyan grinds the ink evenly and slowly until the ink is thick. Shu Hanbo is very particular about using ink, it must be freshly ground, and the ink that has been polished and put for too long is called Su Mo, and Su Mo is generally unusable. But there are also painters who like to paint with ink, and that's just a few of them.

Shu Hanbo practiced calligraphy and also paid great attention to Mozheng. Liu Gongquan has the so-called "pen right", the same is true for grinding ink, the heart is correct and the ink is also right, if the ink is not skewed, it is not elegant, and the ink is not even.

The blue eucalyptus wandered around the store, admiring the inkstones stacked on the shelves.

She inkstone, the full name of Shezhou inkstone, is one of the four famous inkstones in China, and Gansu Tao inkstone, Guangdong Duan inkstone, and Yellow River Chengni inkstone.

The origin of She stone is the best in the stream under Longwei Mountain (Rib Mountain) at the junction of Wuyuan and She County, so She Yan is also called Longwei Yan. Longwei Mountain is the source of most of the surviving stone treasures.

The material used to make the inkstone is called the stone or the inkstone, which generally takes 5-1 billion years of geological changes to form, among which the most suitable for making the inkstone is the slate with mild phyllitrification, and the main mineral components are sericite, quartz, pyrite, pyrrhotite, limonite, carbonaceous, etc.

There are many kinds of inkstones displayed in Shu Hanbo's store, and from the perspective of pattern classification, there are types such as gold star pattern, gold halo pattern, rib pattern, eyebrow pattern, and caviar pattern.

The Venus pattern is golden yellow, and the dots are distributed in the blue-black inkstone, which is like a twinkling star in the sky, which is very dazzling. Mi Fu "inkstone history" has a record of "star purple gold, such as goose eye money".

If you look closely, Venus is large and small, clustered and scattered, and its forms are diverse. Some are as small as dust and sand, and some are as large as grains; Some of them are like slanting winds and drizzles. Each Venus pattern also has an elegant name, including Golden Halo Venus, Golden Flower Venus, Drizzle Venus, Ox Hair Venus, Raindrop Venus, Cloud Venus and so on.

And the golden halo is full of clouds, like golden clouds in the sunset, blowing to disperse, loose like a ball, touching it. The size of the golden halo is uncertain, giving people a unique hazy beauty, including jade belt gold halo, eyebrow line gold halo, golden flower gold halo and so on.

The ribbed texture is as beautiful as silk, giving people a crystalline and elegant beauty. The rib or shaped like spring water wrinkled, rippling in the fine breeze, or shaped like a Luo skirt, fluttering uncertainly, there are water wave ribs, drizzle ribs, Venus ribs, brush silk ribs, etc.

Song Mifu's "Yan History" recorded: "Today's people take the fine rib without stars as the top." Zhao Xihu wrote in the "Dongtian Qinglu Collection": "The texture of the inkstone has three products: ribbed brush filament, gold and silver brush filament. ”

The eyebrows, also known as the eyebrow lines, are black long strips, such as the willow eyebrows of women, the background color of the eyebrow lines is green, the stone is fine and warm, both ink, and elegant and quiet, and is deeply respected by the literati and scholars of the past dynasties. The eyebrow lines are small and dense, often called cow hair lines by people, and there are tiger skin eyebrow lines, goose eyebrow lines, horn wave eyebrow lines, etc.

Song Zhao Xihu's "Dongtian Qinglu Collection" has a record of "eyebrows like nail marks, or like silkworms". Song Cao Jishan's "Argument Stone Theory": "The stone pattern is as horizontal as the eyebrows, and there is a golden halo between them. ”

There is also a kind of caviar pattern, in which there are fine black spots in the inkstone, which are evenly distributed and densely gathered. Its form is like a fish egg, and the egg is also called a child, just like Wuyuan calls the egg a chicken. Due to the different stone colors of caviar, it is specifically divided into herring caviar pattern, loach back pattern, tea green, eel yellow, red caviar pattern, white caviar pattern, stone eye, etc.

Lan Eucalyptus remembered that the Yan Yan was praised by the literati of the past dynasties. Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, said, "Sheyan is the world"; Su Dongpo commented that it "does not leave a pen, slips does not reject ink, melon skin and rationality, golden sound and jade virtue"; Mi Fu said: "Venus Song Yan, its quality is strong, breath and clouds, water storage does not dry up." When I saw it today, it was true. Take a look at the latest chapters of "Dream Claw Book House in the Great Era" and read it for free for the first time.
