The shape of the ink is one side and one circle, and the junction is decorated with cloud patterns. One side of the round part is decorated with a rabbit under a tree, and the other side is decorated with regular script characters of “Guimao Jieyuan”. The border of the square part is angled. On one side, it is written in regular script, “Made by Cheng Jun’s house in ancient Sheyan Town”, and on the other side, it is written in regular script, “The glow of the night is bright, and the rabbit is in the stomach. Ranran Tianxiang is catching the house of Erchang. Youbo.” Cheng Junfang’s regular script poems and essays depict seeing the moon in the night and thinking about the scene of the “house”. It can be seen that they are ink products that use the scenery to talk about things and congratulate the enterprising fame. On the ink side, there are “One Ink in a Few Days” and “Made in the Year of Xinchou” (1601) regular script.
