This is Dali | Episode 52: Inkstone from Mt. Niaodiao

The Fengyu Inkstone is a hidden Dali gem with a history spanning over four centuries. Quarried from the sheer cliffs of Niaodiao Mountain, the inkstone is distinguished by its jet-black hue and supple texture. The qualities have long made it different from other inkstones. Today, the Fengyu Inkstone stands as both a proud emblem of local intangible cultural heritage favored by calligraphers and painters alike.
