Why did you put an inkstone in building a house before?

Inkstone is one of Four Treasures of the Study. Compared with pen, ink and paper, the other three are consumables, which are extremely difficult to pass on to future generations. As the carrier of cultural inheritance, inkstone has the characteristics of "lasting forever" and has unique advantages. However, since the invention of ink and the use of hard pen, the function of inkstone as a daily necessities has been weakened day by day. Today, with the application of computer typing, inkstone has completely withdrawn from the public's desk, only occasionally circulating in the field of professional calligraphy and painting and collection, and its practical functions are close to extinction. However, as an important symbol of traditional culture and a treasure of traditional literati, some functions of inkstone have not received due attention. The author has been engaged in calligraphy study for many years, grinding ink with inkstone every day, and has a deep understanding of the benefits of inkstone. He believes that inkstone plays an important role in the layout of bedroom geomantic omen, which should be widely concerned by all walks of life, so he wrote this article, focusing on the beneficial role of inkstone in bedroom geomantic omen.

First, start the literary movement and inspire. On the one hand, excellent inkstone has beautiful natural texture and exquisite craftsmanship of inkstone master. These patterns and patterns can arouse people's association and stimulate people's thinking and creativity. Placing a good inkstone in an important position on the desk can naturally be pleasing to the eye and enlightening wisdom.

Second, inspiring and urging officials. Since the Qing Dynasty, the carving of the inkstone platform has become more and more exquisite, with the characteristics of "the picture must be intentional and the meaning must be auspicious". Nowadays, collectors pay little attention to this kind of inkstone and think it is tacky. I don't think so. In fact, "meaning good luck" is not a bad thing, just in line with China's traditional cultural psychology. Modern scientific research has proved that positive psychological suggestion can make people open-minded and positive, and the inkstone of "meaning must be auspicious" can play an inspiring role, such as "just around the corner" and "fish change". The most important function of geomantic omen is the ancient inkstone, which has been used for a long time. The ancients used inkstones to grind ink every day. Over time, the inkstone hall has sunk in. The so-called "iron inkstone pierces the heart" is more likely to play an inspiring role. Putting this old saying in the position of a noble person, or on a happy day at his desk, can naturally stimulate people to work hard and make officials rich.

Third, increase the literary spirit and protect the gods. Scientific research has proved that the placement of items in the home environment plays a vital role in creating a harmonious and elegant living atmosphere and establishing an atmosphere conducive to physical and mental health. Good stone has spirit, and inkstone is elegant, which is both literary and spiritual, and can create a good cultural atmosphere. Nowadays, people decorate their homes, and most of them like to put ordinary objects. Even if the layout is reasonable, it always makes people feel a little elegant. However, arranging some traditional pens and inkstones in the study will increase the elegant and quiet atmosphere of the study, which is beneficial to people's physical and mental health, improve the cultural level of the home, make the owner feel comfortable and improve self-restraint, and play a certain role in family harmony.

Fourth, inherit the culture and carry forward the family style. As mentioned above, the inkstone platform has the characteristics of "opening the stone" and is an important carrier of cultural inheritance. If you get an inkstone used by Zheng Banqiao, will you learn something about literature, calligraphy and painting? If you own an inkstone used by Mr. Qi Gong, even if you never write, will you practice writing because of this inkstone? If one side of your family is famous, do you think your family has a deep cultural origin? I don't think I need to tell you the answer. Although this has nothing to do with Feng Shui, it is of great significance as a cultural and spiritual heritage. Therefore, Jiabao can accumulate wealth, and Jiabao's treasures can inherit culture and spirit. This has a profound impact on the rise and fall of a family.

Therefore, inkstone has an important relationship with home feng shui.
