Ink

墨

One of the most unique features of Chinese calligraphy and painting is the use of ink. Ancient Chinese artists believed in the concept of “Greatness in Simplicity,” and they created a rich and wonderful world just by using ink and water.

传统中国书法和绘画最为人称道的特点之一是对墨的使用。“大道至简”，古人仅用最简单的水和墨，便创造出了一个最丰富的纸上世界。

Moon

月

Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Ruoxu described in his well-known “Spring River in the Flower Moon Night" poem, a scene of a young lady missing her beloved who was far away. When she saw the bright moon in the sky, she knew he was seeing the same moon at the same moment, and she hoped that her thoughts for him would be transmitted by the light of the moon.

唐代诗人张若虚有诗曰“愿逐月华流照君”。年轻的妇人思念远方的爱人，看到明月高悬，想到离人此时也望着同一轮明月。惟愿月光流转将她的思念和爱照在远方的人身上。

Chinese people believe that two people, wherever they are, can be emotionally connected by the moon.

中国人相信，两个相隔千里的人，只要头顶悬着同一轮明月， 就会产生一种奇妙的情感联系。

Ink+Moon=InkMoon

墨+月=墨月
