Eucalyptus blue has been working overnight to produce illustrations in recent days, but I always feel that something is missing from what I drew with a hand-drawn board.

What's missing? Lan Eucalyptus looked up at the Chinese paintings hanging on the wall of the study, and suddenly understood that there was no artistic conception.

The Chinese painting hanging on the wall is Zhang Hong's "Panasonic Gossip Map" in the Ming Dynasty. In the later period of the Wu School, Suzhou painters represented by Zhang Hong blazed a new trail in literati landscape painting and created paintings full of life. On the basis of inheriting the style and characteristics of the Wumen School of painting, they innovated, went to the mountains to sketch, learned from nature, and created paintings full of life, which reflected the otherworldly spiritual realm in the paintings. The picture is fresh and elegant, and the artistic conception is ethereal and clear.

Lan Eucalyptus remembers that the teacher of the Chinese painting class said that to appreciate Chinese landscape paintings, it is necessary to understand the mind and image of the Chinese painting maker. The painter first stored the characteristics of the famous mountains and rivers in his heart, and then shaped them in his hands, so he did not take the "Xiao shape" as the best, but the "general meaning". A tree, a stone, a pavilion, can be represented.

When the ancients talked about painting, they said that there are four elements in the use of ink

The first is "live", the pen is crisp, and the ink color is moisturized and natural;

the second is "fresh", the ink color should be beautiful, fresh and pleasant;

the third is "change", the combination of virtual and real, and variety;

Fourth, "pen and ink are consistent", and the pen and ink reflect each other and harmonize consistently. In this way, the use of ink in calligraphy should also have a certain enlightening effect.

Thinking of this, Lan Eucalyptus took out a beautiful box from the cabinet, and the box contained a piece of emblem ink.

Hui ink, that is, Huizhou ink, is a treasure in the ink-making technique, and it is also one of the "four treasures of the study" that is famous at home and abroad, and it is a token that calligraphers and painters love to rely on. Hui ink "to light, grinding to clear, smell to sweet, hard as jade, research silent", a piece of ink poured into the ancient and modern.

Eucalyptus blue is very cherished to the ink of the emblem, every time with the grinding with the use, because if the ink is placed for more than a day, the glue and the coal are gradually separated, the ink is not only lacking brilliance, but also can not last, so the ink is used as a book, it is easy to fade. The ready-made ink sold on the market, some glue weight stagnant pen, some are too low concentration, the paper is easy to melt, there are many preservatives, vulnerable pen edges, eucalyptus blue is generally not used.

Huimo has a faint ink fragrance, a bit like the fragrance of dragon fruit wine, so that she has the illusion that if she smells it for a while, she will be slightly drunk!

The standard configuration of the ancient literati is the four treasures of the study, and among them? The top-of-the-line configuration is lake pen, Hui ink, rice paper and inkstone. It can be seen that the position of Huimo in the whole Chinese culture. The ancients once used to image Hui Mo like this, "one or two gold and one or two ink". In the process of making Hui ink, precious materials such as Chinese medicinal materials, "pearls", "jade chips", and "borneol" are added.

Hui ink paper such as lacquer, the color is black and moist, it does not fade, the paper and pen are not glued, the fragrance is rich, the skin is greasy, there are many varieties, there are lacquer smoke, oil smoke, pine smoke, full smoke, net smoke, glue reduction, incense. The high-grade lacquer smoke ink is made of more than 10 kinds of materials such as tung oil smoke, musk, borneol, gold leaf, pearl powder, etc.

Eucalyptus globulus's favorite is pine smoke ink. In ancient times, pine wood was used to burn soot as raw materials, so it was called pine smoke ink. Smoke is the gasification generated by the incomplete combustion of animals and plants, and the smoke is solidified when it is cold to form soot, which is divided into pine soot and oil soot. Smoke is an important raw material for ink making.

Cao Zijian's poem said: "Ink comes out of green pine smoke." Mrs. Wei's "Pen Array Diagram": "Its ink is taken from the pine smoke produced in Lushan, and the deer glue of the county is stronger than a stone for more than ten years.
