There are also eyebrow lines on the back of the inkstone, with brush silk between them. The inscription of the inkstone is: running script: “She stone is pure black, especially when the Tang Dynasty is open and the Song Dynasty is exhausted. It has been stored for hundreds of years, and this is the best. Those who are hidden in the water are well painted with landscapes, while those who are dark in dry times are fading away from the stars and the moon. It sharpens my eight stone smoke, and I don’t know how old it is. The golden court inscribes on it.”. According to Shi You, the Jin court has nothing to test. The cover of the inkstone box is inscribed with the first inscription of the Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty. The official script says, “Look at the stars in the text, hold the quality and keep the black. The pine in the Yellow Sea lives together in its house. It is called Weimeishou, which is on the side of the Fei table.”. The title of the article: “The title of Emperor Qianlong’s Second Reign”, and the seal of the article: “A few moments of love”. “Kangxi Renwu” is the 41st year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, the 1702nd year of A.D., and “Qianlong Yiwei” is the 40th year of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, the 1775th year of A.D.
