The ink-making technology in Ming and Qing dynasties was more developed than that in the previous generation, with many famous artists and more physical circulation. There are more than 65,438+065,438+00 records in Ma Sanheng's History of Xi in Mo Zhi at the end of Ming Dynasty, and more than 30 records in Wan Shouqi's Mo Biao at the end of Ming Dynasty. There are about 200 volumes of ink in the early Qing Dynasty (1670), Mantang ink in the Song Dynasty (1684) and Mantang ink (17 10). There are more Mohists in Qing Dynasty than in Ming Dynasty, but there are not as many written records as in Ming Dynasty. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the ink records of Tibetan Mohist and Yuan only accepted Ming ink.

Good ink in Ming and Qing Dynasties mainly appeared in Huizhou. Jiangxi and other places also make ink, but it is far less than Huizhou. The centers of Huizhou ink making are Shexian (now Shexian, Anhui), Xiuning (now Xiuning, Anhui) and Wuyuan (now Wuyuan, Jiangxi). Famous Mohists in Shexian include Cheng, Wu Shoumo, Cheng, Yi Qing, Cheng Yifu, An, Wang Jiean, Fang, Jiang Xigu and Wang Xigu. Xiuning has Ye Xuanqing, Ye, Wang Shimao, Wang Cihou, Wu Wusheng, Wu, Hu Xingju, Ye, Wang, Wang Doushan, Wang, Wang, and Hu Kaiwen. Wuyuan has Zhan, Zhan Hengxiang, Zhan, Zhan Fanghuan, Zhan Congxian, Zhan Ziyun, Yu Zishang, Yu, Yu, Cheng, Cheng Xiufu, Wang Jinqing, Cha Jixiang and Cha Senshan.
