Mingren Gao Lian once designed a stationery box for himself, the wood is good, there is no need to inlay carving for curiosity, and there is no need for bamboo wire mouth inlay, which is useless. Because in his view, "literary equipment, non-playthings, etc." are sophisticated, durable, and the right way. A series of studyware designed and selected by Gao Lian, such as Yanshan, ink bucket, cutting knife, water beggar, pen bed, book box, all follow this principle, and those who seek it are both good-looking and easy to use.
The Qianlong Emperor also had such a small treasure chest. The small box itself can be folded into a small table, and the small lattice inside the small box contains 64 pieces of stationery that Qianlong loves, and each stationery has a fixed position and tight seams. The Qianlong Emperor used it to handle government affairs, write poems, and appreciate calligraphy and painting.
【Qianlong Emperor's Stationery Combination Box】
The former monarchs and literati worked paper. A good pen is a joy in life. Nowadays, writing with a pen is no longer a must for everyone, and the pen and ink writing room is no longer a necessity. Stripped of practical functions, the pleasure brought by the fine pen is not only undiminished, but because of the quality of other aspects, because of the delicate, lyrical, warm, quiet and long quality, the study room has returned to the contemporary study with a new identity.
The new identity of the literary utensils varies from user to user. Some people love the utensils themselves, and often play with them, and between them there are those who are happy to fill their bodies and minds. When talking about the stabilizing effect of art tools on people's hearts, Tu Long, a writer and opera singer of the Ming Dynasty, said: "The heart has been sent, and it is not outside." "Once you want to sweep away, you have nothing to live in." In the end, we must temporarily borrow the utensils themselves and put our minds on them. There are also some people who focus on the use of literary utensils, laying paper, grinding, licking the pen, and the sound of the pen crossing the paper gives them endless stability and satisfaction. For the former, the desk yawu continues the thousand-year-old tradition of lattice objects and Bogu's interest. For the latter, a party book case is a small world where one party is at ease, and the pen and ink carry it around, can go alone, and can also invite friends to travel together.
Although it is difficult for us to hope for a delicate and exquisite literary life like Gao Lian and the Qianlong Emperor, the core pen, ink and paper are still worth considering. According to the usage habits of contemporary people, RongBaozhai and the Forbidden City jointly launched the "Golden List Title" Selection Set, the "Hanmo Chengguang" Selected Gift Box, and the "Guilin Yizhi" Student Set, three different focusing four treasure sets of study rooms.
The picture of the Tang Dynasty calligrapher Li Yangbing's "Pen Technique" has a saying: "The size of the pen is hard and soft, or the paper silk, the unintentional scattering of the pen, that is, each obeys the favor of others." Used as a method, the craftsman must be good and the materials are exquisite. When entering the ink, do not make the hairs oblique. Every time you use it, wash it and collect it, hold it for yourself, and do not pass it on to others. As for the exhibition of his books, he was no more than a hundred words, and he was more insistent, and he used his pen to tighten and slow down, that is, out of the principle of being a person. The two pens in the "Gold List Inscription" gift box were made by Dai Yuexuan, a handmade pen shop.
The "spotted bamboo" selected by the pen holder, also known as "Xiangfei Bamboo", is said to be the daughter of Emperor Yao, the wife of Shun, Emperor E and The Daughter Ying, after hearing the news of Shun's death, she wept blood and tears and threw herself into the water and died. Since then, the Area Around the Xiangshui Cave Garden where they threw water, speckled bamboo has grown. A wolf and a sheep, two kinds of elasticity and ink storage considerations, to meet the writing needs of seal, li, true, line, cursive and other types of writing. The wolf is taken from the tail hair of the northeast weasel, and the front is gathered. Both pens are 3 .8cm. The length of the striker above and below 4cm can be written in the widest range of font sizes, and it belongs to the universal length.
This Yunlong ink comes from Jixi, Anhui, which is a historical Hui ink production area. Ink making first requires burning tung oil to take smoke, washing smoke, then glue, hammering, shaping, carving... The process is cumbersome and the ink work is hard. The ink strips are decorated with dense cloud patterns, depicting the golden cloud dragon coiled around, and the pattern is ancient and elegant. Really good ink will be of great help to improve the level of the work. Today's bookmakers often use ink when practicing, and still choose to grind ink when formally creating works. Ujin Ink pushed away, and the heart slowly adjusted and entered the state of writing. Mr. Zhang Chong and Mr. Zhang Chong once joked in an interview, practicing writing large characters as a child, not hesitating to use ink, and when the eldest sister found out, a piece of old ink from the Ming Dynasty had been used for most of it. After the elderly, the art of books is perfect, and the years are easy to tolerate, good ink is difficult to find, and fang is ashamed of not sparing enough things when he is young.
This Fang Song Pit Dragon Pattern Rectangular Door Character Yantai is the Duan Yan of the first of the "Four Famous Stones of China", produced in Duanzhou (Duanxi, the eastern suburb of present-day Zhaoqing City, Guangdong) that began in the early Tang Dynasty and has a history of more than 1,300 years. Song Pit is one of the famous pits in Duanzhou, and has been mined during the Northern Song Dynasty. The dragon pattern is a traditional decorative shape, commonly found in ancient bell ware. Yan is a rectangular copy of the hand, is one of the classic shapes of the Yan, the lines are simple and refreshing, with a dignified and generous appearance and a condensed and complete interior. The ink under this brick is excellent, the ink is labor-saving, and the ink is delicate and shiny.
In addition to pen, ink and paper, the "Gold List Inscription" set also contains a peach blossom red Lao stone seal, which is as moist as grease and red in stone color, which has always been the star product of RongBaozhai . The seal engraving of the four words of the famous family pro-rule side section "Gold List Inscription", the printing surface is blank, and the user can design and engrave it by himself.
The seal is the finishing touch to the painting. When a work is completed, carefully pondering the next print, a little red, can not only play a role in balancing the composition, but also make the overall effect rich and vibrant. In addition to calligraphy and painting, seals can also be used on other occasions, such as as personal seals, keepsakes, or as gifts alone. Around the engraving of seals, genres, and development history, seal engraving was also born. The literary and historical figures, calligraphers, and painters we are familiar with, although they do not bear the name of the golden stone engraving, but most of them are proficient in this way, which is an indispensable field for recreation and learning.
The packaging material used in the "Gold List Title" reserve set is Song Jin. Song Jin was born in the Song Dynasty, is one of the four famous brocades in China, and the only brocade with practical functions, with a thin and moderate texture, suitable for making brocade boxes. This all-handmade brocade box, after opening, the above-mentioned pen and ink paper bricks are in their place, and the top is measured in detail, all at the same level, which is flat and beautiful.
【"Hanmo Chengguang" selected gift box】
"Hanmo" means the same pen and ink, and "Chengguang" inherits and carries forward the essence of pen and ink. In the traditional education system, inheritance is far more important than innovation. By inheriting the ancients' pen and ink, we will understand the ancient articles and meet the hearts of the ancients. The scarlet gilded cloth gift box, with a straight shape and color, contains pen and ink paper and brick seals, and is the same as the "Gold List Title" for five pieces. The pen is still a pair of pure wolf and pure sheep, the difference is that the bamboo pen shaft is replaced by a mahogany pen holder to meet the aesthetic needs of different materials, the length of the pen shaft does not change, and the 4.5cm front is slightly longer than the "gold list title". The size of the hand roll and the paper used are no different from the "Gold List Title", only the pattern of the head brocade is different. The ink is still two or two pure tung oil smoke cloud dragon ink strips, Yan is the same as the Song Pit Chui Dragon Pattern Door Character Yan, Zhang Yi Peach Blossom Lao Shi Su Fang Zhang.
【"Guilin One Branch" Student Set】
All along, "Guilin Yizhi" and "Kunshan Piece jade" are praises for the outstanding learning of students. Bai Juyi has the sentence "Gui folds a branch to promise me first", and the gui language is like high school. The "Guilin One Branch" set contains our blessings to students and encouragement for beginners in calligraphy. Writing is different from the craftsmanship next to it, even if you first enter the threshold, you can enjoy fun, cultivate temperament, and change temperament.

A wolf and a sheep, two kinds of elasticity and ink storage considerations, to meet the writing needs of seal, li, true, line, cursive and other types of writing.
Yidege ink, the ink color is bright, the ink fragrance is faint, and the natural bone glue and traditional anti-corrosion technology ensure that the ink characters written do not stink over the years. The ink bucket with the ink, the ink pool is quite deep, the ink pool cover can prevent the ink from drying out quickly when the writing is suspended, especially when heating in winter and blowing fan air conditioning in summer. The ink licking place in the center of the ink pool is a very practical design, which does not hurt the pen, and there is no need to scrape the residual ink on the edge of the ink pool, so as to avoid the ink pool cover from staining the edge ink to other places. The pink glaze is soft and pure, and it is a versatile book case. The enamel does not penetrate ink and is cleaned as soon as it is washed. The student set contains five pieces of turpi rice paper, which have been cut to a suitable size, and the paper is soft and white, which meets the needs of improvisational calligraphy and painting and can be stored for a long time.
"The room where you retire, the books are in the oven, the pen and ink are on paper, and there are no long things left." This is the attachment of Su Yijian, the author of the "Four Spectra of The Literary Room" and the famous Door of the Northern Song Dynasty. Contemporary people have the same attachment to spiritual paradise. Behind closed doors, deep in the mountains, wandering in one's own side of the small world, is to focus on getting along with yourself. Pen and ink bring to today's people no more than companionship, concentration, lyrical embrace, today's people can also expect, when the rise of literature, pen and ink on the side.
