Mo said, Inkstone meets.

The fragrance of ink comes and goes, inviting you to accompany me.

The bright and clean couches in the book window

The indispensable thing is the fragrance

However, the fragrance of agarwood is not as good as the fragrance of flowers

The fragrance of flowers is not as good as the fragrance of flowers. Listening to the fragrance of tea

Listening to the fragrance of tea is not as good as observing the fragrance of ink

The fragrance of ink is neither orchid nor musk

It is neither color nor taste

Contrary to Nose

It refreshes the eyes

Therefore, it is called Guanye

People know that the fragrance of observing ink can be compared with the language of ink
