Inkstone, one of the four treasures of the study, collection and appreciation function has now exceeded actually use function, so, as a collection, s first to see whether the ink stone, ink stone products for the Ming and qing dynasties, this pretty similar with China, its market value is not more old more valuable.

　　目前來看，市場上的當屬明清兩代的硯臺。很多收藏者對“清三代”的硯臺比較偏好，其收藏自然較高。但由于明清兩代的古硯不斷攀升，收藏 者可以關注一下宋代古硯。而唐以前甚到漢代的硯臺，盡管其收藏價值很高，也很名貴，但是硯臺石質比較粗糙，所以其市場并不高。 　　除了年代，要評定一方硯臺的收藏價值，還要關注硯臺的材質、工藝、品相、銘文等。材質主要看是否是“四大名硯”，“四大名硯”指的是廣東端溪的端硯、安徽歙縣的歙硯、甘肅南部的洮河硯和山東的魯柘澄泥硯，其中端硯知名，古硯拍賣價較高的大多是由端硯創造的。

　　At present, the highest price in the market is the ink stone of the Ming and qing dynasties. Many collectors have a preference for the "qing dynasty" ink stone, which is naturally high in price. But as the price of the ancient inkstone of the Ming and qing dynasties rises, the collector can pay attention to the song dynasty. Tang had even reached the ink stone of the han dynasty, which is expensive and expensive, but the ink stone is rough, so the market price is not high. In addition to the time, the collection value of an ink-stone of an ink-stone is evaluated, and the material, process, quality and inscription of the ink stone are also paid attention to. Main materials whether "four big famous inkstone", "four big famous inkstone" refers to the side stream of guangdong province, guangdong province, anhui rapidly she inkstand, gansu during China's southern river inkstone and shandong lu zhe mud inkstone, including guangdong province's most famous, antique ink slab for higher are mostly created by guangdong province.

　　據介紹，硯臺價位的高低主要取決于厚度、大小以及形制，進而考究其石質紋理；一般來說，方形、圓形的硯臺要比不規則硯臺的昂貴得多。 　　古硯貴在有銘文，但十銘九假。在眾多假硯銘中，主要有同代托款、后代仿款和現代仿款三種；即使真銘也分自書自刻、自書刻和匠摹匠刻三類。分析人士表示，一方帶銘文的古硯，如果銘文真實可靠、字口包漿較老、書法篆刻較精，即可判定具有收藏價值！

　　According to the introduction, the high and low price of the ink stone platform depends on the thickness, size and shape, and then the texture of the stone. In general, a square, round ink stone is much more expensive than an irregular ink stone. There is an inscription in the ancient inkstone, but ten Ming is false. There are three kinds of false ink-iniming, which mainly include the same generation, the progeny and the modern form. Even the true Ming is divided into three categories, from book to book and from workman. According to the analysis person, one side carries the inscriptions of the ancient inkstone, if the inscriptions are authentic, the word is old, the calligraphy seal is more precise, can judge have the collection value!

　　隨著當代藝術品潮流的發展，當代大師的精品、珍品之硯越來越受到市場歡迎，價位也一路走高。縱觀近幾年拍賣市場上當代名硯和歷代名硯的表現，一些新硯在總成交價、拍價、平均拍價上甚超過了古硯。

　　With the development of the contemporary art trend, the modern master's exquisite and precious stones have become more and more popular with the market, and the price has gone up. Throughout the auction market in recent years on the contemporary inkstone and famous historical inkstone, some new inkstone in the total price, the highest price, average price on even more than the antique ink slab.

　　有關表示，新硯比古硯好鑒別、易觀賞。古硯經過幾千年的流傳，珍品古硯寥若晨星又很難鑒別，名家藏硯查詢考證艱難，常使藏家望而卻步。據稱，古硯作偽的手段很多：舊匣裝新硯，舊硯刻假銘，用墨色掩蓋水泥修補過的殘硯，摹刻偽造名硯等等……民間流傳的古硯，不是蘇東坡就是趙子昂，甚還有虞世南、李太白的，可以推斷十之有十是假的。

　　Experts say that the new inkstones are better than those of the ancient stones. After thousands of years of history, the ancient inkstone has been very difficult to identify. Allegedly, antique ink slab fraudulent means a lot: old magazine loading new inkstone, old carved false inscription inkstone, inkstone covers cement patched with ink residues, shaded fake name inkstone, etc…… The ancient inkstone, which is popular among folk, is not su dongpo is zhao ziang, or even yu shian, li taibai, can deduce ten is false.

　　然而，新硯就沒有這么多的麻煩，一硯在手，一目了然；如果搞不清楚，刻硯、銘硯者都健在，一打聽也就了然。

　　However, there is not so much trouble in the new inkstone. If it is not clear, the ink-stone and the ink-stone are alive, and they know it.

　　另外，硯的功能發生變化，古硯以實用為上，新硯則主要供人欣賞與收藏。新硯不僅繼承了古硯的式樣，而且又使雕刻藝術深化發展。雕硯家在追求“新”“奇” “美”的過程中，利用硯石的自身結構、形狀、石品花紋等特點，“以石構圖，因材施藝，以色取巧”，突出自然神韻，制作出的硯臺也因此受到藏硯家的喜愛。

　　In addition, the function of inkstone changes, the ancient inkstone is the practical, the new inkstone is mainly for people to enjoy and collect. The new inkstone not only inherits the pattern of the ancient stone, but also deepens the carving art. Vulture inkstone home in pursuit of "new" and "qi" in the process of "beauty", using the inkstone characteristics such as their structure, shape, Shi Pin decorative pattern, "with stone composition, carvers, because with color", highlight the natural charm and make the ink stone is so popular with hidden inkstone home.
