I don’t know what the name of the Chinese tool may have been, but one of the names for inking tools today is a brayer. Is that possibly what you are thinking of?
Buddhist monks who hand print scriptures from wood blocks use an ink dauber. It’s similar to a wadded up piece of leather that they rock back and forth to pick up ink on a slab and then do the same on the block to charge it with ink.
Not sure what it’s called though.
