What is most of the ink used in brush writing?

(A), the traditional ink method

"When using ink, the pine trees are stripped of gum fragrance first, and then cut down. If there is no rosin, the ink made of tobacco is difficult to understand. If the pine tree is stripped of its fragrance, make a small hole in the root of the tree and bake it slowly with a censer. The whole body cream is hot and poured out. " .

Where the pine smoke burns, it is cut to a certain size. The bow is simplified to a circular object, such as the ship's canopy, which is more than 1000 feet long. The inside and outside and the interface are fixed with paper and cushions, and smoke comes out of the holes at regular intervals. Bricks are covered below, and there is a flue first.

After burning firewood for a few days, take a rest and sweep in the middle. Anyone who burns pine smoke and sets fire to ventilate smoke is from beginning to end. Close to the first and second sections is clear smoke, which is made of good ink. The middle section is mixed smoke, which is made of time ink. If it is near the first and second paragraphs, it is just scraped into cigarettes and sold for printing, and the calligrapher still takes it for fine use. The rest is for painters.

(2) Modern ink painting method

Modern ink-making methods are similar to traditional ink-making methods since Ming and Qing Dynasties, but the cigarettes and drugs used are not as elegant as those in Ming and Qing Dynasties, so the quality of ink is not as good as that in Gu Mo. In order to cater to the purchasing power of the public, we take more raw materials that are easy to buy in the market and use mechanical stirring and kneading.

The most commonly used cigarettes are industrial lampblack from the burning of heavy oil extracted from petroleum, vegetable oil used for lamp cigarettes and mineral lampblack, which are properly mixed according to categories and grades. Glue is mostly made of cow glue, fish glue, Arabic glue, or chemically synthesized plastic and acrylic glue. Additives are generally camphor, borneol, preservatives, mildewproof agents, chemical aromatic agents, synthetic spices, etc. Otherwise, use so-called "green ink".
