Yellow Liuyu Zan Zihao pen with black paint painted gold tube, clear, 16.8 cm long tube, 8.8 cm long cap, 0.9 cm diameter cap
The pen head is made of Zihao, which looks like a blue stamen, and the root is decorated with yellow hair. The pen tube and cap are painted with bamboo paint, and the black paint is painted with clouds and dragons. The end of the pen tube and the two ends of the cap are painted with gold for one week respectively. The inscription “Huang Liuyu Zan” on the upper end of the tube is inscribed in the official script of the Yin script, which is from the “dry foot” poem in the poem “Poem · Da Ya · King Wen Shi”: “Sebi Yu Zan, the yellow flow in the middle.” The poem praises King Wen of Zhou for his ability to inherit his ancestral heritage, practice moral governance, and respect and sacrifice, and gain good fortune.
The ancients used black millet to brew wine, and tulips to make it yellow and fragrant, so this wine is called “yellow flow”, which is used to irrigate the ground in the divine sacrifice activities. “Jade Zan” is a tool to scoop wine in the divine sacrifice. The inscription “Huang Liuyu Zan” is taken from the ancient ritual and music culture, reflecting the traditional cultural connotation contained in the inscription of the imperial pen in the Qing Dynasty
