《端砚铭》 
苏东坡
 
与墨为入，玉灵之食。
与水为出，阴鉴之液。
懿矣兹石，君子之侧。
匪以玩物，维以观德。
 
Inkstone Inscription
Tr.LLovian

Ground in with ink,
Which's food for soul purifier.
Ooze out with water,
Which's liquid of profound mirror.
Examplary as it is,
This stone is with man of honor.
It is not a plaything,
 It's a virtue reflector.
