What is the meaning of ink margin in calligraphy?

The "ink margin" in calligraphy refers to the slightly blurred ink margin left on rice paper after the brush is dipped in ink. Ink edge is one of the indispensable skills in brush calligraphy and occupies an important position in traditional calligraphy.

Ink border can not only strengthen the three-dimensional sense and heavy feeling of calligraphy works, but also reflect the emotion and artistic conception of calligraphers when writing. Different widths, different angles, different colors and different forms of ink edges will add unique charm to calligraphy works.

In ancient times, calligraphers often spent a lot of time and thought on the treatment of ink margin. They believe that Mojing is not only a skill, but also a realm. Therefore, whether it is Zen calligraphy or meticulous flower-and-bird painting, it is inseparable from the touch dyeing and retouching of ink margin. The aesthetic feeling of Mo Yuan has been formally written into the calligrapher's art course.
