Description:
Wen Zhenheng talked about the “brush pattern” in the “Changwu Zhi”, and proposed that “ancient jade has a mountain shape, and there are old jade children and cats”. These cultural relics are worth collecting because of their unique and lovely shapes. Even if it can be used as a pen holder, it is an antique, so it is recommended not to put it on the table frequently, and occasionally take it out to share with friends.
