The intangible cultural heritage Longquan porcelain box ink, the quintessence of the study cinnabar!

The video shows Longquan ink, housed in a celadon lotus leaf-patterned ink box. The cinnabar-red ink within is rich and vibrant, with a delicate, creamy texture. The celadon box's lid is half-open, and beside it lies a piece of rice paper bearing a vibrant red seal with clear inscription. The background is a blue-toned, textured fabric, creating an elegant and tranquil atmosphere. 1. Craftsmanship: ○ Longquan ink, renowned for its "one ounce of gold equals one ounce of ink," is a national intangible cultural heritage. Its production requires carefully selected natural cinnabar, specialized pine soot ink, and animal glue, and a traditional process of grinding, mixing, and sealing, taking months to achieve its desired finish. The ink's lustre and delicate texture embody the essence of its craftsmanship: "stickiness without stagnation, and long-lasting color retention." ○ The celadon box with lotus leaf motifs is custom-made from Longquan celadon (another intangible cultural heritage). Its jade-like texture creates a contrast of cool and warm against the vermilion of the ink pad, protecting the ink's moisture while conveying the cross-disciplinary aesthetic of "porcelain and seal as one." 2. Cultural Dimension: ○ The seal affixed to the ink pad is the finishing touch to Chinese calligraphy and painting. The red inscription of the seal in the image contrasts beautifully with the black and white brushstrokes of the ink painting, highlighting the Eastern aesthetic of "red and white complementing each other." Longquan ink, a symbol of credibility for literati and scholars, has been used from ancient times to sign contracts, calligraphy, and paintings, bearing witness to cultural heritage. ○ The textured fabric with a blue background reinforces the idea that intangible cultural heritage originates from daily life, hinting at the evolution of ink pads from "imperial use" to "a staple in the study," evoking a reverence for traditional study techniques. 3. Value Dimension: As a "uniquely Chinese luxury product," Longquan ink's scarcity (rare raw materials, complex craftsmanship) and cultural attributes (as a symbol of intangible cultural heritage) make it a treasured item for collectors and cultural diplomacy. The vibrant red of the ink and the tranquil blue of the ancient porcelain in the picture vividly embody the contemporary renewal of traditional craftsmanship.
