Beijing, January 6 (Youth.cn) - On January 5, 2026, at the Laohu Kaiwen Ink Factory in Huangshan, Anhui, ink-making artisans were crafting “three-dimensional Tang Horse inksticks”.
As the Year of the Horse approaches, artisans skillfully incorporated “Horse Year elements” to create a series of themed Hui inksticks with meticulous craftsmanship. Among them, an innovative “three-dimensional Tang Horse inkstick” stood out particularly.
The inkstick features a plump and adorable design, blending classic horse motifs from Tang Dynasty art with a playful charm. It carries the auspicious wish for “Ma Dao Cheng Gong” (immediate success), revitalizing the ancient Hui ink-making craft in a trendy and youthful way. Photo/CFP
