Yes. The strong fragrance of rosewood combined with the fragrance of ink is refreshing and satisfying, and is fascinated by literati.
Because sandalwood inkstones are difficult to preserve, the existing sandalwood inkstones are almost extinct. There are only a few mentions of sandalwood inkstones in the inkstone records that can be seen now, but without exception, any inkstone records lack actual sandalwood inkstones. In this batch of inkstones, there are 55 square sandalwood inkstones, including 22 square sandalwood inkstones inherited from the Ming Dynasty, and 12 square sandalwood inkstones from Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, Chen Han, Yuci, and Yubi.
The emergence of this batch of sandalwood inkstones will greatly enrich the number of existing sandalwood inkstones in ancient my country, add real new members to the family of famous inkstones in my country, and will further promote the research on sandalwood inkstones in my country.
Precautions for using inkstones
1. Daily water storage:
Inkstones also need to be moistened. They need to be replaced with fresh water every day to store them. The inkstone pool should not be short of water. , people in the past called it "Yangyan".
2. Change the water before use:
Don’t be lazy and grind the ink directly with an inkstone, and don’t think that the ink grinded with tea or sugar water will be “unique”. Mixing these things with ink will greatly reduce the color of the ink and prevent it from producing ink. Hot water will damage the ink, so remember to avoid it.
3. Brush after use:
After using the inkstone, the remaining ink must be washed away, and it must not be allowed to condense on the inkstone. Otherwise, the remaining ink will dry out and form slag, which will hinder grinding, damage the pen surface, and damage the surface of the inkstone. If it is mixed with new ink, there will be no benefit in placing ink or making ink.
When washing, you can use a loofah and other objects to help, but do not wipe it with hard objects to avoid damaging the smooth, beautiful, lovely and generous inkstone surface. If it needs to be taken out, it is best to dry it in the shade and do not wipe it with paper to avoid residues remaining and mixing with the ink.
