Brief introduction to the manufacturing technology of calligraphy inkstone
The manufacturing process of inkstone is generally divided into material selection, design, blank making, carving, polishing, box matching and other processes.
Material selection: The stone used for carving inkstone must be solid and dense, delicate and moist, with both rigidity and softness, good inking performance, fast inking, difficult to dry when stored in water, not easy to stink when filled with ink, and not harmful to ink.
Design: From the perspective of traditional inkstone carving, starting from the overall effect, we create and design the theme, modeling, composition and other aspects. It is necessary to perform artistic expression according to the different conditions of stone texture, shape, texture and color, and to pay attention to beauty and elegance, which is suitable for grinding ink.
Blanking: From the practical and ornamental point of view of ink grinding, the high-quality parts of stone should be reserved for inkstone hall (ink hall, ink grinding place) and inkstone pool (ink storage place in Mo Chi), which are suitable for ink grinding, marking and ink storage. Mo Chi is too deep, ink is easy to stay, and accumulation is difficult to wash; Too shallow, easy to overflow when grinding ink, less ink storage, inconvenient to write. The blank is required to be flat.
Carving: Generally speaking, inkstone carving requires covering up defects, showing aesthetic feeling and leaving no knife marks. The traditional inkstone carving technology generally adopts deep and shallow relief (high and low relief), fine carving and line carving, combined with round carving and hollowing out when necessary, to make the appearance round, delicate and clean. Some high-quality and high-grade inkstones can be made into very precious inkstones-flat inkstones with a little carving or even without carving.
Polishing: firstly, finely polish the surface and carved part of the inkstone with fine sand to remove the knife marks and gouges, so that the surface of the inkstone is smooth and does not affect the carved patterns. Then use talc and water mill fine sandpaper to polish evenly repeatedly until the hands are smooth and flat. Then the whole inkstone is coated with oil wax to make it crystal clear and clean, and the fiber is not stained.
Packaging: A good inkstone needs to be packed in boxes to protect the patterns and inscriptions of the inkstone, prevent dust from entering the inkstone and keep the inkstone moist. Ink stone boxes are mostly made of mahogany and nanmu after carving, polishing and painting.
