They have been must-haves for fans of calligraphy（书法）and Chinese, painting. The Chengni inkstone in Shanxi province is one of Chinas most famous inkstones. It is known for its fine texture (质地). It feels like “a baby’s skin” and can do less harm to the brush. Unlike other inkstones made from natural stone, it is made with mud from the Fenhe, River. Due to various reasons, the time-honored craft of making the Chengni inkstone had once been lost. In 1986, Lin Yongmao, a craftsman from Shanxi，and his son Lin Tao decided to bring this ancient art back to life. It’s not an easy thing. After many failures, they succeeded in making two Chengni inkstones in 1991.
