Stone inkstone, a kind of inkstone. Using stone powder as raw material, artificial pottery was made after cleaning. Stone inkstone with good ink-making performance. "Su Shi's Works Collection" and "Qingzhou Stone at the End of Stone" contain: "Liu Gongquan talks about inkstones, and Qingzhou is very expensive."
Since the Tang Dynasty, the inkstone technology has been gradually lost. Although it was made in later generations, the quality was not as good as that at the beginning, and finally it was replaced by an inkstone. Its production technology was completely lost after the Song Dynasty.
In ancient books, there are at least a hundred words about Cheng Ni inkstone.
The information about this inkstone at the end of the stone is desperate-"Take rotten stone and grind it into powder and burn it as inkstone", with only 1 1. Dongpo said that Liu Gongquan "Qingzhou stone is very expensive", so it seems that the inkstone produced in Qingzhou, Shandong Province in the middle of the Tang Dynasty is the best.
Huidong Village, who is over 60 years old, rushed to Qingzhou all the way. He learned locally that the stone on a bluestone hill in Beihai County, Qingzhou was used to make inkstones. Take back the stone sample, observe its tiny particles after crushing and grinding, and study its properties. Find similar stones on Wutai Mountain and Wenshan Mountain, grind them into powder with a ball mill and fire them repeatedly.
Hui Lao gradually realized that the rocky mountains in nature are mostly formed by volcanic lava or geological movement, and the stone composition of a rocky mountain is relatively single. Different rocks are ground into powder and mixed in a certain proportion, and their properties will change after firing. Under the microscope, it is found that the surface of this stone powder blank is wavy after firing.
Dongpo said that "the beauty of inkstone stops at sliding and ink is made". Isn't the "peak and valley" on the inkstone surface at the end of the stone the reason why it stops at sliding?
After several kinds of stone powders are mixed, some will become brittle in case of fire, and some will become gray or dark after baking. After repeated experiments, Hui Lao understood: First, the content of certain minerals in stones is the most important, and stones with high calcium content cannot be used, and sericite and stones with high seasonal content are the most suitable; Second, the scientific proportion of various materials is very important in firing inkstone, which is simply a drop in the bucket.
Knowing these truths, Hui Lao has seen the dawn, although the experimental process is very torturous. For three years, Hui Lao often fidgeted and stripped naked. Finally, in the early autumn of 20 12, he successfully fired a green cicada-winged inkstone in a kiln.
The inkstone will undergo magical changes during the firing process, similar to what ancient porcelain lovers call "kiln change"
Kiln change refers to the natural change of glaze color on porcelain surface due to the change of temperature in the kiln during firing. The so-called "one color in the kiln, a thousand colors in the kiln." Porcelain "kiln change" is because the glaze contains a variety of coloring elements. After oxidation and reduction, the glaze color and enamel of the products obtained after opening the kiln have changed.
The "kiln change" of stone inkstone at the end of the stone is due to the different components of various stones, rich colors after firing and changeable grain colors.
In the "Ya Yi Xuan" inscribed by Fan Ceng, a master of calligraphy and painting, stone inkstones, mud inkstones and stone inkstones with different styles and sizes are spectacular. At the end, Hui Lao showed us two inkstones: one was red with ochre, and the pale yellow pattern formed by kiln transformation was like flying in the sky on Dunhuang murals, graceful and gorgeous, as if it were about to come out of the inkstone.
On the other hand, before the inkstone entered the kiln, two crests were carved. Unexpectedly, the patterns formed after the kiln transformation have seamlessly become the wings and feathers of the phoenix-Feng Lion and Feng Xiangluan, which are fantastic and natural.
The stone inkstone, which had been lost for thousands of years, was revived in Huidong Village. Yin Shoushi, a famous calligrapher, praised it as "the treasure in the inkstone" and Hua Fei, a famous calligrapher, praised it as "inkstone kui".
Cheng Ni is famous for her inkstone, which can be used as a treasure on the shelf. Hard as stone, delicate as skin cream. There happens to be an elegant art pavilion, and its owner is very ambitious. The clay in the river can be calcined in a kiln. Tibetan chest is dry Kun, and the details of the knife are carved.
Choose one thing and do it all your life, not for wealth and ingenuity.
On the plain curtains of Yayixuan, the poems inscribed by friends and the motto of caring for the elderly are faintly printed. In the era of keyboard, daily writing has bid farewell to paper, ink, pen and inkstone. But calligraphy, as a treasure of China culture, will be handed down from generation to generation. Nowadays, calligraphy classes are generally added in primary and secondary schools. One inkstone is enough for people to look back and remember, and it can finally place our restless hearts.
