"Inkstone Ink Ci" tells the story of frame painter Shen Yanzhi and Gu Yanci who became connected through calligraphy and painting. They met by chance on a rainy night and gradually developed a friendship based on their common artistic hobbies. Gu Yanci helps Shen Yanzhi solve his debt problem, and a secret friendship develops during their relationship. Later, when Gu Yanci was framed, Shen Yanzhi took risks to help him clear his name. After the storm, the two confessed their feelings and became close friends. Gu Yan resigned just so that the two could "have fun"
Purpose: The purpose of "Inkstone Ink Ci" is to use pen and ink as a medium to explore the purity and tenacity of sincere emotions.
The story uses the process of Shen Yanzhi and Gu Yanci's relationship through calligraphy and painting to show how the friendship between confidants, regardless of identity and transcending the world, precipitates in ordinary interactions and becomes stronger in the test of storms. Whether it is the common love for the art of calligraphy and painting, or mutual support in times of crisis, they all tell the story: sincere connection is never trapped by external labels (such as identity differences, worldly perspectives). It is hidden in subtle understanding and tacit understanding, shown in standing up for difficulties, and ultimately returns to the stability of staying together over the years.
At the same time, the two people's cherishment and persistence of calligraphy and painting coincide with their persistence in their original intentions and love - just as they protect the original intention of writing and ink, they also protect the pure affection between each other's hearts.
