Why learn calligraphy and inscriptions?

Inscription is a popular channel for the ancients to preserve Chinese characters. Because there were few printed copybooks in ancient times, there were few copybooks left by silk books and paper rolls, so the ancients used inscriptions to record their achievements. At the same time, there are many words in ancient inscriptions, especially many famous inscriptions are made by everyone. Therefore, learning the words in the inscriptions is an important reference source for practicing calligraphy.
