Hui Prefecture's Tunxi, Shexian and Jixi areas.
It was first made more than 1,000 years ago by the ink stick
manufacturers. Hui ink sticks contain at least one of the
rudimentary components,made of pine soot from the
remains of burned pine, tung oil, and black lacquer tree
creosote,which is then mixed with more than 20 other
ingredients. After a complicated process, the completed
ink stick has a substantial and shining black appearance.
After being ground, the ink stick melts into liquid ink that is
ideal for calligraphy anddrawing. The ink is virtually
permanent,not bleached or otherwise affected by sunlight.
When used, the ink flows freely from writing or drawing
brushes and penetrates the paper quickly so that it can
dry immediately. The ink gives off a special scent and
is invulnerable to moths and decay.
