Ink, one of China's traditional stationery and one of Four Treasures of the Study, is a black pigment for writing and painting, and later includes Zhu Mo and various colored inks.

The main raw materials of ink are soot, pine smoke, glue and so on. Carbon exists in amorphous form. Ink written with a brush can be produced by grinding an inkstone with water, and it exists in water in the form of colloidal solution. The main factions in Gu Mo are Huimo and Mo Chuan.

Different water content of ink and different composition of glue will affect the viscosity of ink. The viscosity of ink used in different occasions is different. In addition, the water content of the newly made ink is also more. In addition, the ink with long storage time has higher density, and after years of drying, the three-dimensional effect of ink color is higher. This kind of ink is called "Gu Mo".

Before the invention of artificial ink making, natural ink or semi-natural ink was generally used as writing material. Ink was invented about later than pen. Prehistoric painted pottery patterns, Shang and Zhou Oracle Bone Inscriptions, bamboo slips, silk paintings and so on have left traces of original ink everywhere.

According to documents, ink was also used in ancient ink punishment (face painting), ink rope (carpenter's use) and ink turtle (divination). Archaeological excavations in China found bones and ink on stone tools in the14th century BC, and ink blocks in the Warring States Period were also unearthed from Yunmeng County, Hubei Province. There is a phrase "licking pen and ink" in Zhuangzi, which shows that in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, brush and ink were already used.

"Shu Ancient Calligraphy Collection" contains: In the Western Zhou Dynasty, "Xingyi began to make ink, and the characters were made of black soil, soot and earth." In ancient times, when writing, bamboo was first colored, and then carbonized to get juice. The book was called graphite. In Qin and Han dynasties, pine smoke and tung coal were used to make ink. The earliest known smoke ink was found in Yunmeng Qin Mausoleum in Hubei and Fenghuang Han Tomb in Jiangling, Shanxi. At that time, the ink was small round, not molded into ingots.
