CHINA-HENAN-CHENGNI INKSTONE-INHERITOR (CN)
(231008) -- XIN'AN, Oct. 8, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This aerial photo taken on Oct. 7, 2023 shows You Xiaoxiao and her father collecting the mud at the Luoyang section of Yellow River, central China's Henan Province. The Yellow River Chengni inkstone, with a history of more than 1,000 years, was listed as a Henan provincial intangible cultural heritage in 2007. Among the "four famous inkstones" in China, only Chengni inkstone is made of fine mud. The raw material of the Chengni inkstone is sediment from the Yellow River. It takes nearly 60 processes, such as mud selection, mud refining, design, blank-making, carving and roasting, to make one inkstone. You Xiaoxiao, a municipal-level inheritor of Yellow River Chengni inkstone in Xin'an County, passed on the family tradition of making inkstones after graduating from college. Speaking of the future, You said that she would bring her understanding into the design as the tradition could only flourish with the passion of the younger generation. (Xinhua/Xing Guangl
