五、传统文化阅读与表达。（2025·江苏淮安期中）
阅读短文，回答下列问题。
In China, writing brushes, inksticks, paper and inkstones are called the Four Treasures of the Study.
The writing brushes can be used to draw pictures on painted pottery(陶器). They are mainly made of the hair of animals. Those made of wool are called yanghao and those made of the weasel's(黄鼬的) tail hair are called langhao.
The inkstick is the pigment(颜料) used in writing and painting. The inkstick produced in Huizhou is of high quality. A story goes like this: Two famous skilled men Xi Chao and his son produced a kind of high-quality inkstick. As a result, the emperor Li Yu in the Southern Tang Dynasty agreed to give them the family name "Li". From then on, the name of the Li Inkstick was widespread.
Paper is among the four great inventions in ancient China. The famous xuanzhi appeared in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. In Xuanzhou, Anhui Province, where the xuanzhi is produced, it's said that Cai Lun's pupil Kong Dan took the job of producing paper but failed to make perfect white paper. Later, he happened to see the ebony(黑檀) in the rivers. It was wet with water and turned white. Then he used the bark(树皮) to produce the world-famous xuanzhi.
The inkstone was already very popular in the Han Dynasty. The Ming and Qing Dynasties saw the appearance of the Four Famous Inkstones—Duan Inkstone, She Inkstone, Tao Inkstone and Chengni Inkstone. They can not only be used in writing and painting but also for admiration.
