Study on the Style of Duan Inkstone Inscriptions in the Tang Dynasty "Wu Yong Pan Guan"

Abstract

The establishment of the imperial examination system in the Sui and Tang Dynasties of China led to the development of stationery accessories. Among them, the inkstone, as one of the important stationery accessories, has a rich cultural and historical background. The archaeological excavation of the Duan inkstone inscribed in the Tang Dynasty "Wu Yong Pan Guan" enhances the textual research on the appearance period of the Tang Dynasty Duan inkstone, as well as the tracing of the aesthetic style of the regular scripts of the Tang Dynasty.
