The "four treasures of the study" include a brush pen, an ink stick, paper, and an inkstone, which are indispensable to any Chinese painter or calligrapher. Only through these four tools can they create the beauty of traditional Chinese art. As a result, much importance has been attached to the "four treasures of the study."
The writing brush was invented very early in China's history. The use of writing brush dates to at least three thousand years ago. The prehistoric painted-pottery, the inscriptions on oracle bones, the bamboo slips and silk are all believed to be writing materials for the brush.
The ink stick is a unique pigment of Chinese traditional painting and calligraphy. At the initial stage natural ink or half-natural ink was generally used. It was during the Han that artificial ink appeared.
To use the traditional ink stick, an inkstone is required. As the name suggests, most inkstones are made of stone. The stone used must be of relatively fine whetstone materials so the bristles of the brush pen are not damaged and to facilitate the grinding of the ink stick could.
