Hello everyone, One of the greatest inventions of the human race in the nineteenth century is no exaggeration. It was only after this computer was discovered that the ambitious goals of human society began to travel beyond the earth and towards the sky. If there is any other invention similar to this very important computer, it is probably nothing but ink (Ink) which was discovered by the Chinese about 4600 years ago (2600 BC) and which we use for writing till today..!

The power of human memory has certain limits. Alphabets appeared when there was a need to remember some things beyond that boundary. Initially, man wrote or carved (carving) on ​​stones. Then the letters were drilled and carved with a pointed rod in the trees and then in the bones of the animals. Eventually man started writing his ideas on clay to share his thoughts and ideas with younger generations.

The ink called Ink is the invention that rejuvenated the people who were tired of drilling holes in stones and wood to create letters. Chinese (China) Philosopher Tien Lcheu (Tien Lcheu) BC. In 2697 Carbon Black, Charcoal (obtained by burning pine wood), Gelatin Bone Clue (derived from animal bones) and Lamp Oil were mixed in a Mortar and Pestle. ) prepared a dark black liquid by grinding it. This is the world's first ink for writing.

Friends, do you know the name of the world's first writing ink, India Ink? Are you asking why the ink discovered in China by a Chinese man was named India Ink? There is a reason when the main raw material needed to make the ink was imported to China from India. To commemorate this, Tian named the world's first ink India Ink.

BC Until the 1200 BC, the ink was produced and used with the same technology as that of Tien without undergoing any change. After that, technology was discovered to produce inks in different colors using phytochemicals derived from plants and minerals found in the ground.
