Qizhou Ancient Inkstone

"Qizhou Ancient Inkstone" is set on the land of Qilu during the Xuande period, and the narrative revolves around the growth and persistence of Shi Yanqing, the successor of the century-old inkstone village "Shi Xinzhai". The story begins at the Qilu Study Festival by the Daming Lake. Shi Yanqing brings a carefully carved Lu inkstone to the competition, and supports each other with his childhood sweetheart Jiang Wanqing, the descendant of Lu embroidery. However, he encounters the Qin Motang forces who covet the Shi family's ancestral inkstone genealogy and inkstone mines. From the ambush at the foot of Mount Tai, to the pursuit along the canal, to exposing corruption in front of the emperor in the capital, to returning to their hometowns to pass on their skills and protect cultural heritage, Shi Yanqing and Jiang Wanqing have always adhered to the ancestral motto of "the benevolence of the craftsman, and the original intention of the inkstone" and practiced Shi Gandang's spirit of "defending justice and protecting the people." They united with martyrs and upright officials to eliminate the remnants of the Qin Mo Tang Party and the corrupt groups in the DPRK and China, allowing the Lu Yan skills and Qilu culture to be passed on and carried forward. In the end, Shi Xinzhai became the number one inkstone manufacturer in Qilu, and Lu Yan became famous all over the world. The two stayed together by the Daming Lake, witnessing the happy ending of eternal ingenuity and sustainable cultural heritage.
