History and Heritage of the Imperial White Inkstone

Estimated Reading Time: 4 mins

Imperial White Inkstones have long been regarded as invaluable assets within the revered halls of Emperor Qian Long’s study during the Qing dynasty. These exceptional treasures were not merely artistic objects but pivotal tools in shaping state decisions, offering the emperor clarity of thought and enhancing his wisdom. The profound influence of these inkstones extended beyond personal reflection, playing a critical role in the dynasty’s prosperity and success.

Imperial Harvest Exclusive: Imperial White Inkstone

Rooted in the principles of Imperial Feng Shui, the Imperial White Inkstones align with the concept of “一白遮三丑, 一旺挡三煞,” which underscores their potent ability to amplify auspicious energies while neutralising the negative effects of inauspicious or missing sectors in one’s environment.

Hailing from the illustrious Seven Star Crags (七星岩) in Zhaoqing City, Guangdong, these inkstones are renowned for their rarity, with white inkstones representing a mere 0.02% of all inkstones mined. Reserved exclusively for the ruling elite, these rare inkstones were imbued with authority, bestowing royalty with enhanced legitimacy and influence through Imperial Feng Shui.

Emperor Qian Long’s Legacy of Wisdom

Emperor Qian Long credited the Qing dynasty’s enduring success to his firm adherence to the authentic principles of Imperial Feng Shui. Historical records reveal that the emperor commissioned a variety of inkstones for his daily use, each intricately designed, reflecting his vast artistic patronage and love for classical aesthetics. These inkstones were often adorned with motifs inspired by his extensive fine art collection and infused with verses from his poetry, showcasing his deep connection to culture and the metaphysical.

During his long and illustrious reign, these inkstones became symbolic of his commitment to maintaining the Qing dynasty’s prosperity through the balance of art and Imperial Feng Shui. They were not merely artistic items but also practical tools, with Emperor Qian Long using them daily to grind specially formulated vermilion cinnabar paste. This paste, reserved for his imperial seal, was used as he reviewed state documents, signifying his role as both a patron of the arts and a diligent ruler.

The act of grinding the inkstone and preparing the cinnabar paste was more than a routine task for Emperor Qian Long—it was a meditative ritual that allowed him to channel his thoughts and enhance his decision-making abilities. It was believed that this practice imbued him with heightened intuition, benefactor luck, and wisdom, enabling him to steer the empire toward unprecedented success. Under his leadership, the Qing dynasty flourished, becoming one of China’s most prosperous and longest-lasting dynasties, reigning for an extraordinary 268 years.

Design and Symbolism

Drawing from the wisdom of pioneering Imperial Feng Shui masters throughout Chinese dynastic history, the Imperial White Inkstone holds exceptional power in resolving these issues. Known for its ability to “一白遮三丑, 一旺挡三煞”—which translates to the capacity to amplify auspicious energies while neutralising negative influences—the Imperial White Inkstone is a vital tool in correcting missing or problematic sectors within properties.

In modern times, the Imperial Harvest Imperial White Inkstone collection serves as powerful treasures designed to enhance the various sectors within homes and offices. However, contemporary architecture often leads to properties with missing or incomplete areas. Such missing sectors can bring adverse effects to the occupants of these spaces, creating imbalances that require targeted Feng Shui interventions.

When strategically placed, the White Inkstone addresses the challenges caused by missing sectors and mitigates the harmful effects of Sha Qi (negative energy). Additionally, it activates the authority sector in homes and offices, enhancing leadership, power, and influence. This makes the Imperial White Inkstone one of the most versatile and potent treasures in Imperial Feng Shui, providing holistic solutions to spatial imbalances.

Imperial White Inkstone (Royal Emblem)

The Royal Emblem Inkstone Collection features exquisitely hand-engraved motifs of auspicious mythical and legendary creatures from the ancient Chinese pantheon. The collection showcases three distinct pairings of the most revered mythical beings, each thoughtfully stylised into elaborate motifs that embody auspiciousness and good fortune. The ink-like detailing brings these creatures to life, blending respect for traditional symbolism with sophisticated craftsmanship that elevates the collection to a true work of art.

Double Dragon

The Double Dragons motif embodies Imperial Harvest’s commitment to excellence, inviting owners on a journey of strength, wisdom, and prosperity. Revered across cultures, dragons symbolise power, wisdom, and good fortune—essential traits for success in Period 9. The Double Dragons represent powerful benefactor support, guiding their destined owners through every stage of life in the pursuit of wealth and achievement.

Dragon and Phoenix

The Dragon and Phoenix motif features these two mythical creatures in perfect harmony, naturally complementing one another. Culturally, the dragon is often linked to the emperor, while the phoenix is associated with the empress. Together, they symbolise a yin-yang balance, representing harmony and completeness within the home or office of their destined owner.

Dragon and Tiger

The Dragon and Tiger series showcases the king of animals, identified by its unique forehead markings that resemble the Chinese character “王,” meaning “king.” In Chinese folklore, the tiger is a guardian of righteousness, protecting against various disasters.
