Among the traditional Chinese stationery supplies, in addition to the "pen, ink, paper, inkstone", the four treasures of the study, ink pads are also indispensable supplies for calligraphers and painters in their creations.
On July 13, the reporter walked into Wengang Town, Jinxian County, Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province, which has the reputation of "China's Pen Capital" and "Hometown of Chinese Brushes", to explore the production techniques of traditional handmade calligraphy and painting ink pads.
Zhang Weiguo, a local non-genetic inheritor, said that the ink pad is a medium for conveying and marking the art of seals, and the quality of the seal directly affects the effect of the artistic expression of the seal.
The traditional hand-made calligraphy and painting ink pads have a calm color, stable and delicate, suitable dry and wet, long storage time, and the imprint is full of three-dimensional impression. The ordinary ink pad or ink pad produced by industry cannot achieve this artistic effect.
