Tongyan Hui Ink Making: From Tung Oil Fruit to Pine

🔹Description:
Are you curious about crafting the precious Tongyan Hui Ink, a time-honored Chinese cultural treasure that fuses the essence of tung oil fruit, pine tree, and age-old handcraft techniques passed down for centuries? This classic traditional ink-making craft blends natural rare raw materials, elaborate manual processes, and the profound wisdom of Chinese cultural heritage, embodying the exquisite craftsmanship and profound cultural connotation of ancient Chinese handiwork.

This video will guide you step-by-step through the full traditional handcraft process of making authentic Tongyan Hui Ink. We start with selecting and processing core raw materials: pick high-quality tung oil fruit and pine tree resin, then soak overnight the tung oil fruit to soften it, and extract pure tung oil from the processed fruit—the foundational oil for burning to produce fine lampblack. Next, make the premium lampblack core material: burn the tung oil with pine tree fuel to collect delicate lampblack, then wash the lampblack repeatedly to remove all impurities, and let it sit for two hours to separate the pure lampblack from water, laying the foundation for the smooth texture of the final ink. Then, prepare the natural binding and precious auxiliary materials: melt pure beef bone glue as the core binder to lock the lampblack into a solid form, and prepare rare noble additives including Fragrant Powder, precious Musk, glossy Pearl Powder, luxurious Gold Powder, and aromatic Borneol—these ingredients elevate the ink’s luster, fragrance and preservation.

The highlight of the craft comes with blending and kneading the ink mixture: add pine oil extracted from pine tree into the pure lampblack, stir the mixture thoroughly to integrate the pine oil and lampblack perfectly, then mix in the melted beef bone glue and all the precious fragrant additives, and knead repeatedly to form a smooth, malleable ink dough. We also add a small amount of camellia oil to moisten the dough, enhancing the ink’s delicate texture and smooth grinding property. After that, undergo the elaborate shaping and aging processes: press the ink dough into exquisite molds to form various classic Huizhou ink shapes, then air-dry in the shade slowly and age for years to let the ink mature—this is the unique charm of traditional Huizhou ink making that makes the ink more lustrous and smooth for writing and painting.
