Recently, in order to implement the Law on Intangible cultural heritage and further enrich the Intangible cultural heritage directory system of Quzhou, Quzhou Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism organized the application and review of the seventh batch of representative projects of Quzhou Intangible cultural heritage.

According to the expert review opinions, with the consent of the Bureau's Party Committee, 37 items of the seventh batch of Quzhou Intangible cultural heritage representative projects are recommended, and Keli's inkpad making skill has also been successfully included in the recommended list.

The inkpad making technique of Longyou Keli is a kind of inkpad making technique spread in Longyou County and surrounding areas, in which the use of raw materials and the production process are unique.

The inkpad product is one of the Four Treasures of the Study of the study in our county, with a history of thousands of years.

The production process of Keli Yinye clay includes two processes: raw material production and finished product production, as well as more than ten processes such as sun drying oil, mugwort processing, cinnabar selection, cinnabar grinding, clay processing, oil processing, oil mixing, beating and pulling into velvet, and box packaging. Tools such as sun drying oil tanks, stone mortars, stone sticks, color mixing wooden sticks, scissors, scrapers, etc. are required.

In the process of traditional inkpad production, each process has high requirements. The best Castor oil should be selected for sun drying and exposed to the sun in sealed containers for 3-5 years. The long, thick, and tough parts of wormwood should be dried and chopped into fine wormwood. Cinnabar must be selected as a whole block of mineral crystal cinnabar with bright colors and good glossiness, and then ground and layered. Cinnabar powder with a fine density of 5-10 microns in the upper and middle layers should be selected for drying and backup.

The processing of clay requires a fineness of within 5-10 microns. During the production process of the finished product, a certain proportion of cinnabar and auxiliary materials should be strictly followed for oil processing and oil sand mixing.

After manual repeated pounding and pulling in the stone mortar, various materials are thoroughly mixed to form a printing ball, which can then be divided into containers for packaging. Good printing paste must be bright red, thick, calm, and slightly reddish yellow in color. After printing, the presentation is fresh and composed in color, with a three-dimensional sense, clear and full, and high resolution.

As a unique treasure of study in China, ink printing has been widely used in document signing, archiving, historical culture, as well as gold, stone, calligraphy, and painting.

Traditional printing mud production requires a long preparation time for raw materials and high precision requirements, making it difficult to form specific theoretical indicators. Only through personal understanding and long-term practical experience and feelings can one master thoroughly.

In order to better inherit the traditional art of printing mud production, the inheritor of traditional printing mud production, represented by Wang Zhongming, founded Zhejiang Keli Yinye Industry New Technology Development Co., Ltd. On the basis of inheriting traditional skills, more than 100 new varieties such as WZ-1681/1682/1683/1684 traditional vermilion printing mud and modern printing platform baby footprint printing platform were launched, To better inherit and develop the traditional printing mud production techniques of Longyou through productive protection.
