Beijing "Yidege" Ink

Beijing "Yidege" ink has a production history of more than 100 years. During the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, a scholar named Xie Songdai from Anhui Province went to Beijing to take the exam, but his name fell to Sun Shan. He deeply felt that studying ink was too time-consuming and delayed answering the paper. At that time, he thought, if an ink can be made and used directly for writing, it will save time and effort, and it will not be "one skill for the world". So after many experiments, he finally chose oil fume and other auxiliary materials to make the ink with the same effect as the ink block. Once listed, it was welcomed by literati. In the fourth year of Tongzhi, Xie Songdai opened the first ink shop at No.44 Liulichang, Beijing. The name of the shop was "Yidege", and he personally wrote a plaque and hung it in front of the door. This is the origin of "Yidege" ink. Xie has no children behind him. After his death, the shop passed on to the apprentice. Later, the reputation of "Yidege" grew day by day, and the scale of production and operation continued to expand. Semicolons were opened in Tianjin, Shanghai, Xi 'an, Zhengzhou and other big cities, and the business was more prosperous. Features: It has the characteristics of high concentration, dark color, bright ink, easy to dry after writing and suitable for extension. It has been tested by famous painters and calligraphers, and the effect is very good. Technology: "Yidege" ink is made of Sichuan high pigment carbon black, bone glue, borneol, musk and phenol as raw materials and finely processed by traditional technology.
