Chapter 1067 The Four Treasures of the Study
When it comes to scholars, there is a word that must be associated, the four treasures of the study.On TV, we often see such a common scene, whenever someone wants to write an inscription or leave a name, it is inevitable that someone will say: "Quickly get the four treasures of the study."

The four treasures of the study refer to pen, ink, paper and inkstone.A pen is a brush, and ink is an ink deposit. Needless to say, paper is a tool for carrying words, and inkstone is used to grind ink.

In fact, the Four Treasures of the Study are only standard equipment, and the deluxe version should be the Seven Treasures of the Study, including pen, ink, paper, inkstone, brush washer, paperweight and pen holder or pen holder.

The brush washer is used to clean the writing brush after writing. The paperweight is used to hold down the paper to prevent it from being blown away by the wind. The pen holder is used to hang the pen. , the latter is a flat pendulum.

Coming out of the Bi Pavilion, Qin Zhou and his party walked through the Modian Room, the Paper Building, the Inkstone Storehouse, and the Sanbao Building where the brush washer, paperweight and pen holder are together, greatly increasing their knowledge.

In ancient times, ancestors mainly relied on knotting ropes to keep track of events. Later, they gradually invented characters and began to use oracle bones as writing materials.Later, bamboo chips, wood chips and cotton silk were used as writing materials, but the cotton and silk were too expensive and the bamboo chips were too heavy, which led to the invention of paper.

It is impossible to verify when the earliest paper appeared, but among the earliest papers, Cai Lun paper is relatively famous. Cai Lun paper has a wide range of raw materials. The paper made from rotten fishing nets is called net paper, and it is made from rags. Paper is called cloth paper.Cai Lun paper is relatively rough, the ink will be soaked, and there are many defects, so Xuan paper was born.On the basis of the previous generation of dyed yellow paper, wax was evenly applied on the paper to make the paper shiny and beautiful.It is called hard yellow paper.However, although the hard yellow paper is more advanced than the previous paper, there are still defects. With the continuous improvement and progress of later generations, the paper finally has a relatively big breakthrough. This is Chengxintang paper, which can be said to be the first in the history of paper. a peak.

Until modern times, the paper industry flourished. In the process of continuous innovation, it finally surpassed Chengxintang paper, and white paper and elegant colored paper appeared. The colors are mainly bright and quiet. Up to now, it has almost reached perfection. the point.

The paper of different eras has the characteristics of different eras, and the paper is also divided into strengths and weaknesses. People with poor calligraphy can't control the strong paper at all, not to mention writing, they can't even dip ink on it.With Qin Zhou's strength, he can only leave his handwriting on paper below the silver level, but the gold-level paper can barely leave his mark, but the things he writes are worse than ghost symbols. It can only be said that he left traces, not Said it was handwriting.

Don't look at a prudent and honest look all over the world. Literary cultivation is worse than Qin Zhou. He can only write on bronze-grade paper. In the end, he had to tell the truth. He was too naughty when he was a child. Not to mention writing, if it weren't for the fact that the family still has a little power, I wouldn't even be able to graduate from junior high school, and the college diploma would be bought with money.On the other hand, the little witch girl is the most powerful of the three. Even gold-level paper can't trouble her, and she writes "Red Sleeves Add Fragrance" so that she looks decent, and she can't do it.

Similar to the writing brushes in the Bi Pavilion, precious papers are restricted and cannot be taken away. If they are forcibly removed, these precious papers will be destroyed. Looking at the mountains of papers, Qin Zhou felt very helpless.I have never met such a weird baby, you can see it but you can't get it.

In the past, people picked their treasures, but now it's good. The treasures pick people, and I blame Shengxian Mountain for raising these things too squeamishly.

If you want to write good calligraphy, the quality of the ink has a lot to do with it.

The ink lake can be judged from five points: burnt, thick, wet, light, and light. If there are all five colors, then this ink lake is considered good, and then it is the effect of writing.The ink is bright, the light ink is expressive, the layering is rich, the five colors are thick and light, the writing is fluent, and there is no blockage.The four seasons are suitable for calligraphy and painting, suitable for books and mounted, it is the top grade ink lake.

In the deepest part of Mo Dian's room, Qin Zhou saw a strange Mo Dian, the ink Dian was pitch black, even blacker than the magic knife he used, emitting a strange fragrance, smelling it lightly, the whole person seemed to be a little lighter, Looking at this ink deposit, he had a strong premonition that the calligraphy and painting written with this ink deposit must have magical abilities, unparalleled.

On the wall next to it, the three of them saw the introduction about Mo Dian, Li Yankui Mo.The characteristics are as follows: black, its color is so black that nothing in the world can match it.The ancients did experiments, using the cold gold paper in Sichuan to test the ink, only Yankui ink was black.The second is the fragrance, which lasts for a long time. After hundreds of years of grinding, it still has the fragrance of borneol.Thirdly, in the province, there used to be two calligraphers, brothers, who shared a piece of ink and wrote [-] characters a day for ten years.Fourth, firmness, it is as firm as jade, its pattern is like a rhinoceros, its quality is like gold and stone, and there is a blade at the edge of the grinding place, which can cut paper and wood.Fifth, it lasts for a long time, and the quality is constant. It can be preserved no matter what the situation. Even if it is thrown into a stinky ditch, it can remain intact for several years.

In addition, one of Li Mo's biggest characteristics is that it can also cure diseases, which is a kind of magical medicinal material.

Li Mo is precious, even the royal families of all dynasties are proud of owning Li Mo, but unfortunately, after Li Yankui left, Li Mo's manufacturing method was lost, Li Mo used one piece and lost one piece, and Shengxian Mountain can still be preserved, which is very rare.

As for pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Qin Zhou always underestimated the inkstone, thinking that it was only for grinding and nothing special, but only after entering the inkstone library did he discover his shallowness.

Inkstone is an ancient human handicraft. As a carrier of human traditional culture, it is a cultural handicraft with high ornamental value. It coexists with calligraphy and painting art. The value of the famous inkstone is not only reflected in the In terms of his external quality, there is also this deeper cultural connotation—integrating history and culture into a small inkstone that is less than a foot, and becoming an inkstone forest for families and literati to appreciate, collect, gift relatives and friends, and cultivate temperament. excellent product.

There are four legends of famous inkstones in history. Fortunately, Shengxian Mountain has them all, and there are a lot of them. Obviously, it took a lot of effort to collect these famous inkstones.They are: Tao inkstone, Duan inkstone, She inkstone and Chengni inkstone.

Tao inkstone is the best inkstone in the world, and it has always been used exclusively by the royal family and nobles.It is characterized by being as green as blue, moist as jade, and unabated ink. The ancient writer Huang Tingjian praised Tao Inkstone: "Where it is washed, it will produce gold and iron. When it is cut, it will be thick and dense."

The material of Duan inkstone is taken from Lanke Mountain in the southeast of Duanxi. It is famous for its "light weight, rigid but soft texture, lonely and no sound to the touch". Since its inception, it has become favored by scholars and scholars. Gorgeous, each with its own style, the processing techniques should become more and more complicated, and the status is getting higher and higher, which has a tendency to surpass Tao inkstone.

She inkstone is made from the generation stream of Longwei Mountain in Wuyuan County, so it is called Longwei inkstone.The stone is solid and moist, touching it like skin, grinding it with a windy edge, astringent water flowing in the brush, slippery and not repelling ink, ink is small and easy to dry, and it is clean when washed.Since ancient times, it has maintained the status of famous inkstone.

Chengni inkstone is a pottery inkstone, which was once a tribute of a certain era. It is good at carving, and its luster is like beautiful jade.

Since then, with the development of history, there have been six famous inkstones, namely Lu inkstone, Juque inkstone, Helan inkstone, Sizhou stone inkstone, Songhua imperial inkstone and Yishui inkstone.Collectively known as the four famous inkstones.

If it is said that Mo Dian’s role is to assist and increase its power, the inkstone is a solid hard power, all of which are extremely powerful weapons. Qin Zhou even found that the aura emitted by several famous inkstones is not the same as the mountain seal and cracked sun that he had obtained before. Under the seal, there was a terrifying aura, unfathomable.

Qin Zhou felt itchy, but he couldn't take it out.The little witch took a fancy to a Chengni inkstone, clamored to take out the magic weapon, and traveled all over the world in a panic, so she persuaded her and left the inkstone library.

Although he only walked a few places, Qin Zhou has been able to feel the background of Shengxian Mountain, which can only be described in four words: unfathomable.No wonder it has been able to stand on this continent for so many years without hitting it.

Pens, inks, papers and inkstones are such ordinary things, if it hadn't been fortuitously intersected with Shengxian Mountain, Qin Zhou would never have known that these things would one day become fine.

Zangshuge is one of the most important places in Shengxian Mountain. It is known as the largest library in the world. All books are included. Whether it is a famous book or an isolated wild history, as long as you can name a book, you can find it here.

There are nine floors in Zangshu Pavilion, one floor is one floor, one floor is the sky, and the inside is a space of its own, boundless.Pushing open the door of the first floor, although Qin Zhou and the others were prepared, they were still shocked and speechless for a long time.

Bookcases, densely packed bookcases, row by row, completely invisible to the edges, viewed horizontally or vertically, you can’t see the edges, the bookcases are about three meters high, divided into grids, and densely packed books are placed inside.It is obvious that there are people sorting out here all the year round, and the books are arranged in categories, arranged in the order of astronomy, history, divination, astrology, piano, chess, books, paintings, nine chapters of arithmetic, rites, music, songs and dances, etc., so it is easy to find.

There are too many books here, Qin Zhou was smart enough not to go through all of them, and went straight to the second floor. The books on the second floor don't need to be less than the first floor, but he can also feel that the books here are older and obviously more valuable.

Many pages of the books on the third floor are obviously yellow. It can be seen that the history has been going on for a long time, and some books emit a faint light. In the words of the little witch, they have begun to become fine.

On the fourth floor, there are more books that exude aura fluctuations. The area of ​​this floor is obviously much smaller, but the number of books is still uncountable.

When they entered the fifth floor, the three of them could clearly feel the pressure, not from heights, but from books. Each book was like a master, exuding its own aura. Countless auras filled together, The formation of an extremely powerful force is only because it is not targeted, so it has no lethality. Even so, the three of them are cautious when walking inside.

On the sixth floor, as soon as they stepped up the steps, a mountain of pressure hit them. The little witch and Zou Tianya felt as if they were struck by lightning, so they quickly took a step back and avoided being injured. All of a sudden, I was terrified in my heart. The power of this book is really terrifying, far surpassing pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Qin Zhou hesitated for a moment, but he still walked down the stairs. If he forced his way, he would be sure to enter the sixth floor, but it didn't make any sense.

Soon, Qin Zhou and the little witch left Zangshu Pavilion to move on to the next goal. After traveling all over the world, they stayed behind. He came across an interesting ancient book and wanted to study it.
