Name & Content: The Four Treasure of the Study in Ancient China -- Brush, Inkstick, Paper and Inkstone.
Chinese particular calligraphic tools include brush, ink, paper and ink stone, which are known as "Four Treasures of the Study”.We can easily tell how Chinese calligraphers and painters value them from the name. Despite the evolution of the four tools, it is believed that no Chinese artwork can be a masterpiece without using the traditional four treasures. Other oriental nations such as Japan has inherited this Chinese tradition. Maybe that's why Japanese calligraphy and Japanese painting resemble Chinese calligraphy and Chinese painting.
Four Treasures of the Study, also known as Four Jewels of the Study or Four Friends of the Study, are different expressions of the four essential implements in Chinese Calligraphy: The brush (笔), ink (墨), paper (纸), and inkstone (砚). The term was first created by the literati during the period of the Southern and Northern Dynasties (420-589AD).
