What schools of ink industry were there in Ming Dynasty?

During the reign of Zheng Dejia in Ming Dynasty, Huimo School was formed. Because it is located in Shexian County, where Huizhou Prefecture is located, it is almost covered by tribute ink and ink used by dignitaries. The products are dignified and elegant, the cigarettes are exquisite, the flavor of spices is heavy, and the packaging is heavy. Its representative figures are,, Fang Sheng.

Hugh's products appeal to both refined and popular tastes, and the ink products are gorgeous and exquisite, with many sets of ink colors and heavy decoration on the ink surface, which are deeply loved by literati. Its representatives are Shao Gezhi, Ye Xuanqing and Wu.

Wu Pai belongs to popular ink painting. Wuyuan people, especially Mo Gong, whose surname is Zhan, make use of the abundant local pine smoke to produce cheap and popular ink products, which are well received by people and students. Because Mok Ng is not more important than a scholar, it is rarely recorded. Its representative figures are mainly Zhan, including Zhan Huashan and Zhan Wensheng.

By virtue of their own advantages, the three schools share the market share of the ink industry, and each has its own place. Ming ink not only wins by quality, but also is famous for its exquisite ink and wash style. Cheng's Mo Yuan, Fang's Mo Pu and Mo Hai are not only important historical materials to study the history of ink, but also masterpieces of print art in Ming Dynasty.
