Epitaph of Gao Zhan, the full name of which is Epitaph of Gao Gong, the general of Jizhou, who was appointed to supervise the army and assist the country because of Wei's false holiday. In the 2nd year of Yuan Xiang in the Eastern Wei Dynasty (A.D. 539), this stone was found when the bank of Dezhou Canal in Shandong collapsed in the 14th year of Qing Qianlong. Regular script has 25 lines and 27 words. Wen Ya's calligraphy is beautiful, with a square and flat font, and elegant and subtle brushwork. Yang Shoujing rated it as the training of bone and character, saying that "Chu and Henan seem to come out from now on" (Volume II of "Comments on the Inscription of Hormone Flying Pavilion"). Kang Youwei's Guang Yi Zhou Shuang Tan combines this record with Diao Zun's Epitaph, saying that Diao Zun is a school of emptiness and tranquility, supplemented by Gao Zhan and Liu Yi. This record was once greatly praised by Dezhou, and it is as famous as Gao Qing Monument and Gaozhen Monument in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and is collectively called "Three Highs in Dezhou". Zhao Wanli's Collection and Interpretation of Tombs of the Han, Wei, Southern and Northern Dynasties was compiled in miniature, and there were reprinted editions.
The rubbings collected in the National Library of China were printed in the white script of "Jia's Stone" by Zhong, and later inscribed by Wu Rongguang, Wang Mingxiang and Hu Renyi. According to Fang Ruo and Wang Zhuanghong's "Essays on School Monuments", when this record was unearthed, the words "Wei" and "Distant Flow" in the first line of the first extension were not damaged, but more and more words were damaged later. This edition conforms to the characteristics of the original rubbings, and it is better than Sha Menghai's "The History of Calligraphy in China" and Pan Boying's "On Calligraphy in China", with fewer defects.
