Description:
Rectangular Wonton style, anticline down, no blockage at the lower end. The inkstone is dark, with light yellow horizontal brush silk pattern; There are square or triangular gold dots all over the body with irregular sparse distribution, which seems to be slightly higher than the stone surface. On the back of the inkstone is engraved with a seal script inscription: “On the fifth day of May in the fifth year of Xuanhe, the emperor called the Enying Hall to tell the story and give this inkstone to his descendants, so that they can keep it.” The upper side is engraved with a regular script from the 43rd year of Qianlong’s reign (1778): “The golden star visited Qian and gave him knowledge of the five years of Xuanhe. The Song Palace told stories faithfully, and Cheng Menlixue learned from the true story. The Li Mingcheng sect in the south of the country advocated that Tongliang in the north should directly denounce the traitors. There was no difference between internal saints and external kings, and I was at a loss here. The imperial title of Qianlong Wuxu was written by the emperor.” Seal: “Understanding is not far away”, “Virtue is sufficient”. Yang Shi (1053-1135), a neutral character, was born in Fujian Jiangle. At the beginning of Xuanhe’s reign, Shi Chenghao and Cheng Yi brothers told a story about Jianzhao as the Youying Hall. Gao Zongshi was a scholar of Longtu Pavilion. With writing books and lecturing as the thing, Southeast scholars were regarded as the authentic Cheng family. The learning of Zhu Xi and Zhang Shi all came from its source. Scholars are called Mr. Guishan. This inkstone is included in Volume IX of “Xiqing Inkstone Manual”. Cha She Inkstone valued Venus. However, the golden flowers and golden halos planted in the legend are different from the Venus of this inkstone.
