Development course of Jinxing inkstone

Yan Zhenqing, a great calligrapher in Tang Dynasty whose ancestral home was Langya Xiao, regarded the Jinxing inkstone produced in his hometown as a treasure recorded in literature. Su Dongpo, a great writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, once praised Jinxingshi in his letter: "Graphite is like paint, and it is as smooth as jade, and Venus is everywhere. Some people are like beans, making fine ink and knocking loudly, making top-grade inkstones. " However, because of the traffic jam, backward economy and culture, and crude inkstone making tools in Yimeng Mountain area of old China, Jinxingshi has not been widely developed and utilized for a long time.

After the founding of New China, new and old sculptors carried forward the traditional processing technology, boldly pioneered and innovated, constantly applied new technologies, improved the processing technology and raised the artistic level, and created a large number of Venus works that were attractive, ingenious, ornamental and practical. Ye Lianpin's "Left Love Right Army" inkstone is elegant and profound. With novel and concise artistic techniques, he praised Wang Xizhi's valuable spirit of practicing calligraphy hard and cherishing inkstones like life, and made great contributions to the development of Chinese calligraphy art and inspired viewers. The lotus leaf inkstone created by Han, with the help of Jinxingshi modeling, is ingenious in structure, with green leaves supporting water and lotus plums with gold. It is novel in modeling, ingenious in workmanship, and has the charm of "lotus leaves like clouds, fragrant and fragrant", which is amazing. Zhao Puchu, vice chairman of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and a famous calligrapher, praised: "Playing with fish, taking lotus leaves as the inkstone field." . The inkstone was selected for the Japanese exhibition, which was highly praised by famous artists at home and abroad, and was included in the Yan Lu Painting Collection published in Japan. With the help of a Venus as big as a black date, Nie created the "Panlong Embracing the Moon" inkstone, which is novel in concept, exquisitely carved, with both form and spirit, and is absolutely beautiful, making people fondle it.
