2, ink must use good ink, sticky ink is easy to hurt the inkstone.
3. When grinding ink, hold Mo Ding with your thumb, forefinger and middle finger. Mo Ding is perpendicular to Motang, and slowly rotate and grind by wrist force. Re-grinding is easy to hurt the inkstone.
4. The inkstone hall is often covered with ink, or the leftover Su Mo is preserved, which will affect the stone quality of inkstone. Therefore, the inkstone should be washed immediately after use, and it should be washed lightly and with soft materials.
Inkstone collection:
(1) When the inkstone is placed on the desk in front of the window, attention should be paid to avoid direct sunlight, otherwise the inkstone box will be exposed to the sun for too long, and the lid will easily crack.
(2) The inkstone should not be placed in a dry place, so as to avoid the inkstone losing moisture and the original advantages of grinding ink.
(2) When enjoying Gu Yan, the desktop should be covered with felt, and the inkstone body should not contact with glass or metal objects, and the two inkstones should not overlap.
(4) The cover of the wooden inkstone box should be coated with several layers to prevent the ink from evaporating and make the inkstone box expand over time. Ink cartridges should be waxed regularly to keep luster and prevent moisture from invading.
⑤ Gu Yan should not be used for many purposes, and should be cleaned immediately after use. When washing Gu Yan, be careful not to damage the patina on the four sides of the inkstone and the back of the inkstone (antiquities have been rubbed and played with for a long time, resulting in luster), so as to avoid Gu Yan losing its quaint features. Usually you can apply peach oil, and the effect is good.
