龙泉印泥 | 非物质文化遗产

龙泉印泥最初为常州秀才刘文高所创制，璟昌印社坐落于江南名城常州千年古街篦箕巷。当年乾隆二下江南，对当时还被唤作“璟玉堂”的璟昌印社所产龙泉印泥用后十分满意，自此，常州龙泉印泥成为御用贡品。

Longquan Seal Mud was created by Liu Wengao, a renowned scholar in Changzhou. Jing Chang Seal is located in the thousand-year-old street of Changzhou, South China. When Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River, he was very satisfied with the use of the Longquan seal mud produced by Jingchang Printing Press, which was also called "Jingyu Tang". Since then, Changzhou Longquan Seal Mud has become an imperial tribute.

书画大师徐悲鸿夫人廖静文欣然为之题词：“国之精粹”。著名红学家冯其庸为其题匾“中国璟昌印社”。常州龙泉印泥始创于清康熙年间，与杭州西泠印泥、福建漳州八宝印泥，被称为中国三大印泥瑰宝，享誉华夏书画界。
