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.

　　目前来看，市场上的当属明清两代的砚台。很多收藏者对“清三代”的砚台比较偏好，其收藏自然较高。但由于明清两代的古砚不断攀升，收藏 者可以关注一下宋代古砚。而唐以前甚到汉代的砚台，尽管其收藏价值很高，也很名贵，但是砚台石质比较粗糙，所以其市场并不高。 　　除了年代，要评定一方砚台的收藏价值，还要关注砚台的材质、工艺、品相、铭文等。材质主要看是否是“四大名砚”，“四大名砚”指的是广东端溪的端砚、安徽歙县的歙砚、甘肃南部的洮河砚和山东的鲁柘澄泥砚，其中端砚知名，古砚拍卖价较高的大多是由端砚创造的。

　　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.

　　据介绍，砚台价位的高低主要取决于厚度、大小以及形制，进而考究其石质纹理；一般来说，方形、圆形的砚台要比不规则砚台的昂贵得多。 　　古砚贵在有铭文，但十铭九假。在众多假砚铭中，主要有同代托款、后代仿款和现代仿款三种；即使真铭也分自书自刻、自书刻和匠摹匠刻三类。分析人士表示，一方带铭文的古砚，如果铭文真实可靠、字口包浆较老、书法篆刻较精，即可判定具有收藏价值！

　　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!

　　随着当代艺术品潮流的发展，当代大师的精品、珍品之砚越来越受到市场欢迎，价位也一路走高。纵观近几年拍卖市场上当代名砚和历代名砚的表现，一些新砚在总成交价、拍价、平均拍价上甚超过了古砚。

　　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.

　　有关表示，新砚比古砚好鉴别、易观赏。古砚经过几千年的流传，珍品古砚寥若晨星又很难鉴别，名家藏砚查询考证艰难，常使藏家望而却步。据称，古砚作伪的手段很多：旧匣装新砚，旧砚刻假铭，用墨色掩盖水泥修补过的残砚，摹刻伪造名砚等等……民间流传的古砚，不是苏东坡就是赵子昂，甚还有虞世南、李太白的，可以推断十之有十是假的。

　　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，新砚就没有这么多的麻烦，一砚在手，一目了然；如果搞不清楚，刻砚、铭砚者都健在，一打听也就了然。

　　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，砚的功能发生变化，古砚以实用为上，新砚则主要供人欣赏与收藏。新砚不仅继承了古砚的式样，而且又使雕刻艺术深化发展。雕砚家在追求“新”“奇” “美”的过程中，利用砚石的自身结构、形状、石品花纹等特点，“以石构图，因材施艺，以色取巧”，突出自然神韵，制作出的砚台也因此受到藏砚家的喜爱。

　　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.
