inscription on a tablet
Generally speaking, epigraphy refers to words cast on metal objects or carved on masonry. These characters are essentially the same as the documents handed down to this day, and they are precious historical materials for studying history, but they are different from pure historical and literary works.
Because some metal objects are rusty, some inscriptions are badly weathered and unrecognizable, some are artificially destroyed, and only rubbings are left, or they are quoted by previous scholars and preserved. However, stone carvings are mostly physical and tangible, so they have the nature of archaeological data.
It is precisely because of this particularity that with the progress of archaeological work, ancient stone carvings will be continuously excavated, and buried characters will become new historical materials for academic research.
