Gu Qianli praised Lu’s lacquered inkstone in his “Records of Lacquered Sand Inkstone”: “There is the joy of making ink, without the pain of killing a pen, which is comparable to those two top grade inkstones (Duan inkstone and Chengni inkstone)!” Therefore, there were so many imitators at that time that Lu Kuisheng had to insert a anti-counterfeiting sheet into the inkstone box. “In the anti-counterfeiting list, he said, ‘The sand is all made of sand and lacquer, and the method of making it is appropriate, so that it can be passed on for a long time.'” He also accused the imitators of ‘counterfeiting without proper method.’ “. Lu Kui sheng’s works handed down from generation to generation include various types of lacquer sand inkstones, ink stone boxes, and stationery boxes
