First of all, the inkstone depends on what it is made of. The quality of stone, the beauty of color, the beauty of cracks and textures, and the quality of ink grinding and carving of inkstone directly affect the artistic value of inkstone. Good stones will want good men to set off each other, so their artistic taste will be higher. If one of them is missing, it would be a pity, and at the same time, it would reduce the value of the inkstone. Is it machine batch carving or hand-made? In fact, there are few inkstones without any shortcomings and flaws. In a word, the most important requirement for inkstone is that it cannot have sharp edges and burrs, that is, "tangent circle". Excellent inkstone carvers can always do well. Celebrity carvings and inkstones with inscriptions will be more expensive than ordinary inkstones.
Whether it's a gift or for personal use, it's absolutely right to buy expensive and branded ones. Go to Taobao Mall and talk to reputable businesses. If you are a beginner, first, use a pen. It is enough to have a pen around 10- 15 yuan. Double brush and others will be used in the future. Second, the use of "ink" has no choice but to be cost-effective. Third, paper is the most important. Different papers pay attention to ink depth and book style. First, you can use meta-book paper with grid. In fact, newspapers can also be used, mainly because newspapers are unqualified but save money. "inkstone" depends on the money in hand. Ordinary stones are convenient, and collections are good. Basically, you get what you pay.
