1, pour water first.
When using an inkstone, don't start grinding ink the first time, but pour a drop of water into the inkstone first, and then start grinding ink with ink.
2, just light grinding, don't use force.
Whether it is a new inkstone or an old inkstone, don't use too hard. One is easy to damage the surface of the inkstone, and the other is easy to spill ink. You just need to grind it gently and evenly by hand.
3. Clean up the inkstone in time
Don't leave ink in the inkstone when the inkstone is used up, which will easily damage the surface of the inkstone and affect its next use. Take out the ink at the first time and clean the inkstone.
Step 4 nourish the inkstone every day
When the inkstone is not used on weekdays, it should be cleaned regularly and poured with clear water every day to nourish the inkstone pool, which can not only nourish the inkstone, but also prolong its service life.
