Korean calligraphy stone carving calligraphy

What can satisfy the curiosity of modern scholars who study Korean calligraphy is that many stone carvings have survived the historical changes and have not been destroyed by the war. Among several stone tablets with inscriptions left over from the ancient Three Kingdoms period, the great stone tablet with unparalleled historical significance was built in the southeast of China in 4 14 A.D. to commemorate the achievements of King Koguryo. This 6.4-meter-high stone tablet is engraved with about 1800 Chinese inscriptions, and the font is angular. Most epitaphs and experts who study ancient Korean calligraphy point out that the lettering on the tablet can express the courage and vitality of the people of this ancient military country that ruled a considerable part of northeastern China and the northern half of the Korean Peninsula at that time.

There is even less information about the height of calligraphy art in Baekje Kingdom in Southwest China. Judging from the high level and exquisite works of art of the literati in this kingdom, it is likely that they have reached a quite mature level in calligraphy. 1972, many cultural relics with important archaeological value were found in the tomb of King and Empress Wuning accidentally discovered by Zhou Gong, the ancient capital of Baekje in central Korea.
