Why should modern calligraphy learn inscriptions?

The modern calligraphy inscription is because of the carrier of ancient calligraphy in China. There was no papermaking before the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the main carriers of Chinese characters were bamboo slips and silks. Bamboo slips and silks are the most commonly used carrier of calligraphy. But bamboo slips and silk books have their own limitations and cannot be preserved for a long time. Therefore, stone carving calligraphy has become the main way to learn calligraphy, which will naturally form the learning habit of learning calligraphy with inscriptions as copybooks.

At present, when we study calligraphy, there are many epitaphs, which are usually written in regular script or lines, because many gravestones can be preserved for a long time and will not be lost or damaged, and thanks to this inscription, we can leave more famous calligraphy works for modern calligraphers.
