乾隆时期宫廷对藏墨的整理

乾隆时期,对宫廷内藏墨进行了大规模地整理.整理的方式主要为清点、鉴选、分类、装箱、修补、再和.再和时将较多的旧墨、破墨捣毁,制成新墨,还对个别旧墨进行复制.这一活动使大量旧墨得以保存,同时对大量藏品进行毁墨再制,使原本流传的墨改形易容,后人知其物不识其物.

Sifting Chinese Ink Sticks Collected in the Imperial Court in the Qianlong Period of Qing Dynasty

In the Qianlong period of Qing dynasty Chinese ink sticks collected in the imperial court were sifted on the large scale. The work included several procedures: checking the amount, appraisal, classification, encasement and remake. Remaking ink sticks referred to some old and broken ink sticks were destroyed and remade the new ink sticks and replicated the old ink sticks. The work preserved some ink sticks. However the remade ink sticks made us difficult to learn their original forms.
