Outline of Final Research Achievements

Multiple styles of calligraphy can be often observed in a single stone inscription in the Northern dynasties and Sui dynasty of China. This fact means that multiple engravers had their own carving styles independent of handwritten manuscript. These autonomous carving styles are sometimes inherited beyond space and time. Our research has discovered that they develop new expressions of the regular script prior to brushwork in some cases. That is to say, new styles of calligraphy can be born from not only brushwork but carving styles. This new viewpoint calls for reconsideration of a history of calligraphy based on a conventional idea that engravers are faithful to the original manuscript.
