The field of stone calligraphers and painters is to learn from others, which involves painting and calligraphy, and it takes a certain ability, effort and talent to be competent. There is a saying in Wang Lanquan's "Collection of Stone Inscriptions" that "being a scholar of stone inscriptions is not a unique work of calligraphy and painting, which makes people never tire of copying and playing. It means that the scope of epigraphy is not only the skill of calligraphy and painting, but also the technology of epigraphy itself, so that people can enjoy it whether copying or playing.
