1. The history of ink is divided into two periods: natural ink and artificial ink. Six or seven thousand years ago, out of totem belief or nature worship, ancestors left traces of natural ink on pottery. At this time, most natural inks are plants or natural minerals, which can leave traces. The fish noodles and human painted pottery pots unearthed in Xi, Shaanxi Province are all painted with black fish patterns. At that time, fish was probably a totem. When words appear, the use of ink will become more extensive. Among the Shang Dynasty Oracle Bone Inscriptions unearthed, Zhu's books were written with a brush.
2. The medicine ink must use pine smoke made of pine trees, because it should be used in the mouth. According to Compendium of Materia Medica; The magic of ink used in hemostasis, skin alloy ulcer and other drugs is that it can not only diagnose diseases, but also treat diseases. Ink can be used to treat diseases. Ink can permeate the skin through the five internal organs with blood, and regulate all kinds of bone pain from the inside out. In ancient times, medicine and ink were necessary and conditional for every family. Just like the family now, everyone should prepare some cold medicine, cough medicine and fever medicine.
3. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, medicinal ink was very popular among the people. Although businessmen and soldiers at that time had no ink, they often took Mo Ding with them when they went out for a rainy day. Medicine ink really cured many people's diseases. Due to the advocacy and clinical verification of doctors in the Ming Dynasty and the rich practice of many Mohists in the Ming Dynasty, the selection of materials and formulas have been greatly improved.
According to Compendium of Materia Medica, Niu Pijiao can treat all kinds of blood syndrome, rheumatic pain and traumatic injury. Modern research also shows that all kinds of animal glue can promote blood coagulation to a certain extent, so it has a certain hemostatic effect. It can be seen that due to the particularity of ink-making raw materials, ordinary painting and calligraphy ink itself has certain medicinal functions, and medical ink is developed from here. It can be seen that due to the particularity of ink-making raw materials, ordinary painting and calligraphy ink itself has certain medicinal functions, and medical ink is produced from this. Medical ink can not only be used as ordinary ink.
