* Beijing "Yi-te Ke" ink is a well-known brand for over 140 years. The history says that during the reign of Emperor Tongchi in the late Qing Dynasty, a scholar named Hsieh Songtai from Anhui Province went to Beijing to take the civil service examinations but failed because he had spent too much time on grinding the ink with the ink stick and left in a hurry to write the answers to the questions.  So he decide to  invent a convenient ink that one can use it to write directly without having to grind it on a ink stone. After many experiments, he finally made a kind of liquid ink from lampblack and other auxiliary materials which produced the same writing effects as fresh ground ink. The ink won great popularity among scholar-officials instantly. In the fourth year of the reign of Emperor Tongchi(1865), Hsieh Songtai set up the first Chinese ink manufacturer with a storefront called "Yi-te Ke"(meaning "One-Gain House") at the famous Liu Li Chang street in Beijing. The calligraphy of Yi-te Ke was written by Hsieh Songtai himself which is also carved on the tablet hung above the store gate. Today the Yi-te Ke of Beiijing has become the largest ink supplier of China.
