I don't know much about the price of ink cartridges
But I know what it means to hold the urn. This should belong to Hanyin, Shaanxi Province. Hanyin County is known as the source of "the hometown of holding an urn", "the garden of holding an urn" and "the machine of holding an urn's shame". In the Northern Song Dynasty, Prime Minister Yan Shu advocated quietism. After watching a steel pipe acrobatic performance, he was disgusted with this opportunistic trick. He remembered his father-in-law, who was ashamed to hold the urn, and wrote a seven-rhythm poem "Singing on the pole, feeling the urn" and hung it in the library. Scholars and poets in the past dynasties also praised and criticized their father-in-law, but from the perspective of self-cultivation, most of them returned to the original. Some named their study "Bao Weng Zhai" and "Bao Weng Ju", while others named "Bao Weng Lao Ren" and "Bao Weng Zi". Cao Baolin, a contemporary calligrapher, wrote a book about the art of calligraphy in Song Dynasty, the title of which is Bao Weng Ji.
Then talk about ink cartridges.
Ink cartridge is a learning tool used by people to hold ink in the old days, and it is called the treasure of learning. According to the famous historian's Notes on Ancient Books, ink cartridges "began at the time of Jia and Dao".
Ink cartridges became popular in the Qing Dynasty. Because liquid ink was produced at that time, it was all used to hold ink. Until the liberation period, glass bottles were invented to replace copper ink cartridges and gradually withdrew from the historical stage.
So it's been a few years since I've never seen the real thing. Unfortunately, this thing dates back to the Ming Dynasty.
Then through this bottom right: "Jia Yinchun should not be a swallow market."
This is a problem. The word Yanshi should have started from the Yuan Dynasty at the earliest, and it was not used by poets until the Qing Dynasty. The word Yanshi here refers to Beijing. I remember Kang Youwei wrote the poem "To Chen Zhennan's Editorial Brothers": "When you fall into the Yan market, you will be sad and cry."
So this thing is probably from the Qing Dynasty.
We judge that this is a clear Four Treasures of the Study.
