Its main research objects are bronzes and stone tablets of past dynasties, especially the inscriptions and rubbings on them. Broadly speaking, it also includes bamboo slips, Oracle Bone Inscriptions, jade, bricks, clay, military symbols, funerary wares and other general cultural relics. The study of epigraphy involves philology, history, calligraphy, literature, library science and so on. It appeared in the Han Dynasty, but it was most developed in the Song and Qing Dynasties. The excavation of Shi Guwen in the Song Dynasty and the discovery of Oracle Bone Inscriptions in the late Qing Dynasty are important milestones in epigraphy.
