Tuan Inkstone Factory

Introduction

Tuan Inkstone Factory is located in the east suburbs of Zhaoqing and is known as one of the best sources of inkstone in China.

Inkstones are a crucial part of Chinese calligraphy and are made from a particular type of fine whetstone. Inkstones have a shallow well where blocks of ink are ground down and mixed with a calligraphy brush to create the ink used in paintings. The stones are always very smooth and are often carved with dragons, clouds and other traditional images.

The Tuanyan brand produced near Zhaoqing has been used by Chinese calligraphers for over 1,300 years.
