The Life of a Duan Inkstone Maker
A Chinese-language museum site documenting artisan Liang Huanming, Duan inkstone carving, his workshop, exhibitions, and a planned ancestral-home project.
Field notes
The site functions as a structured digital record of Liang Huanming's biography, techniques, workshop history, museum, and cultural exchanges. It identifies his 1968 start in inkstone making, the 1986 founding of Huaxing Inkstone Factory, and the “yin-yang double-knife” method used for water, cloud, dragon, landscape, and auspicious-animal motifs. A separate residence project is described as underway, with plans for oral histories, historical images, craft memories, and educational activities.
