About calligrapher 金琮 (Jing Cong) of Ming Dynasty
金琮(1449-1501)，明代人，字元玉，自號赤松山農，金陵(今南京)人。少聰穎，好
吟詠，善書畫，年十二、三即能大書。初法趙孟頫，晚學張雨。畫梅學揚無咎，他
也是作趙孟頫書畫偽的能手。他臨趙氏作品，往往將題款一并臨下，然後在篇末
落上自己的名款。由于金琮的書法很似趙書，故很多金琮的字，即使不是有意作偽，
也被後人挖去原款，添上"趙孟頫"三字，以欺世人。

金琮書法善用側鋒作勢。文徵明對于他的書法非常推崇，據傳文徵明偶爾得到他的
片紙隻字，都要裝裱成卷，并且在卷上題上"積玉"兩字，以示珍愛。

Due to the complexities and difficulties of 文言文 (classical Chinese) , I am not able to translate these calligraphy models to English or 白話文 (vernacular Chinese).

Very beautiful, Joshua! I like how you practice the Chinese characters on the ink-stone.

I recently wrote the Chinese character " 福 " for the sister of my spouse. She was so happy!

@HaxUnPeu Thank you. Trying some writing on the inkstone may help us know the characteristics and readiness of the ground ink. Glad that your sister likes Fortune or Good Luck.

Thank you for a lovely piece. Apart from ground ink, there is only one other - from a bottle ? Have a great weekend.

@cristobelle56 Usually we have ink stick for grinding and bottled ink ready to use. There are also less usual forms such as powder (to be mixed with water) and ink cake (for dipping with water). Have a nice weekend.

@artvirtue Many thanks for the invaluable information on ink. I can imagine powder form (to be mixed with water) but have yet to visualise how an ink cake looks like. Will check this out from Google Images. Weekend is almost over here ... Best,

@cristobelle56 Welcome. I did an introduction to ink cake in "Convenience Ink 方便墨 - Chinese Painting & Calligraphy." Sometimes I use it as a lazy man's method before sleep if I don't have enough time.

@crazylegsmom Thanks for your kind words. I wish I had the ability to translate classical Chinese texts. I also believe observation is one of the best ways to learn art skills.
