Before we learning Chinese painting, we need to know how to use drawing tools of Chinese painting. They are called  “four treasures of study”, namely including brush, ink, paper and ink stone, which are unique Chinese writing tools. The four treasures not only have the value of writing and painting, they also have the value of aesthetic, as they are artworks which combine painting, calligraphy, sculpture, decoration and other art in one.
