我没有收藏的习惯。只因为写字、篆刻的缘故,日积月累,书架、案头就聚集了一些可赏可玩的东西。有的是自己见了爱不释手当下买来的,有的是喜爱我书印的人用来交换的,有的则完全是朋友割爱赠予的。现在端坐在我案头的这方砚台属于后者。我本来对砚台没有兴趣。因为见多了拙劣刻工对砚石的摧残,也看腻了一些工匠自以为是、不厌其烦的雕琢。 I do not have a habit of collecting. Just because of writing, carving sake, over time, bookshelves, desk gathered a number of things to enjoy. Some of them met their own love to buy nowadays, and some love my book printed for exchange, while others are completely friends cut love gift. The inkstone of the party sitting in my desk now belongs to the latter. I had no interest in the inkstone. Because I saw more poorly carved inkstone devastated, but also see tired of some artisans self-righteous, tireless polish.
