1. Source: Moyu is an ink material evolved from ancient jade, mainly jade; Bimo is mainly made of stone.

2. Material: The material of jet is usually hard, smooth and delicate, and the color is gray-black or jet black; Bimo is soft and blue-green or dark green in color.

3. Usage characteristics: the writing characteristics of Moyu are soft and smooth, with strong ink color, which is suitable for painting and calligraphy creation; Bimo's writing is characterized by fresh and bright colors, which are not easy to smudge and are suitable for painting and calligraphy.

4. Maintenance method: Moyu needs to be washed with clear water and often dried to keep it smooth and fragrant; Bimo, on the other hand, needs to be kept dry to avoid being damp and moldy.

To sum up, there are some differences between Mo Yu and Bi Mo in material, color and writing characteristics. Which material to choose depends on personal preference and use requirements.
