"The calligraphy used in the inscriptions on this tombstone is a transitional style from clerical script to regular script, known as the Eastern Jin engraved stone style."
After connecting the call with Chen Yiyang, Xu Xiaosheng first talked about the calligraphy used on the tombstone, "The calligraphy used in the China Merchants Bank logo is also this style, don't you think they look quite similar?"
"Indeed, they do." Chen Yiyang used to think that the letters in the China Merchants Bank logo were written by some child.
"Stone steles with this kind of calligraphy are quite rare; basically, their appearance can cause a sensation in the calligraphy world each time.
However, the most important element on this tombstone is not the calligraphy, but rather its content.
The tombstone states that the owner, Madam Cao, is a woman from the Cao family of Chen County, the granddaughter of the Grand Administrator of Jiude, the eldest daughter of the Lord of Rucheng.
