The study into ancient artifacts originated from the age of King Zhen (真) in the Song Dynasty. The research by Liu Chang and Ouyang Xiu in the age of King Ren (仁) opened the fashion for epigraphy collection and appreciation to ancient artifacts. The academic notes in the Song Dynasty mainly discussed the context of three levels. Firstly, the collection of ancient artifacts. For example, Nenggai Zhaiwanlu of Wu Zeng and Yanxia Fangyan of Ye Mengde all described the collection of ancient artifacts in the Qin and Han dynasties. Secondly, historical research on epigraphy. For example, Mozhuang Manlu of Zhang Bangji and Rongzhai Suibi of Hong Mai all used the epigraphy and stone inscriptions to verify the history of ancient artifacts. Thirdly, the textual research on epigraphy such as Guangchuan Shuba of Dong You, Dongguan Yu lu of Huang Bosi. They all recorded the comments on the advantages and disadvantages of inscription or epigraphy while it also contained the comments on the characteristics of Chinese calligraphy art. The stone inscriptions stored in the academic notes of the Song Dynasty then become an important reference to studies on the Epigraphy of Song Dynasty, which not only provides an important proof for the construction of calligraphy or epigraphic history in the Song Dynasty but also expands the academic horizon for the research on epigraphy in the later generations that holds academic and historical significance.
