Can gravestones be used in running script?

Regular script is generally used, such as Lishu or Weibei, but there are also running scripts in history. Depending on the level of writing and stone carving, running scripts can better show the charm and have nothing to do with Zhuang's solemnity. The development and evolution of epitaphs in past dynasties are as follows: the ancestors of the Chinese nation were a collective with profound awareness of cultural preservation and civilization inheritance, and Chronicle of Stone Carvings was one of the great achievements. In the pre-Qin period, there was a pursuit of "carving on a stone" ... and passing it on to later generations ",until Zheng Qiao's" The Story of the Stone "in the Song Dynasty concluded:" After three generations, you can only be happy; Qin people began to use stone drums, and the first emperor wanted to elaborate his text and use monuments; Since the Qin Dynasty, only stone carvings have been used. " Regarding the types of stone carvings, according to the epigraphy of Mr. Zhu Jianxin, a epigraphist, "There is no stone for more than three generations of gold; During the Qin and Han Dynasties, stones flourished and gold declined. It has a merit record, which shows that people who come to our country are salt in the stone. As far as its name is concerned, there are stone carvings, steles, epitaphs, tower inscriptions, floating pictures, classical buildings, statues, stone que, rubbings and land. And the system is different. As for the words he carved, he interpreted the classics from Confucianism, and even the poems were mixed together, almost unprepared; These paintings are particularly distinctive. From its origin, it is necessary to test the change of calligraphy. " It is known that ancient stone carvings can be divided into ten categories, and "epitaph" is one of them. "Epitaph", Gong Xian Zizhen's "On the Monument" in Qing Dynasty said that "a benevolent person is dutiful to his son, but in a secluded palace, it is another monument to dig a stone and bury it." Jin Qizhen, a modern man, defined it as "a buried inscription" in his masterpiece "China Monument Culture". It is a biographical stone carving that the living are buried with the deceased to commemorate the deceased, to record the life of the deceased and praise the merits of the deceased, so that it can be circulated for a long time. Its nature and function are similar to the stele, but its form is different from the stele. Its complete form includes three parts: the first title, the chronicle and the eulogy. Of course, as Mr. Jin said, the development of epitaphs has also experienced a gradual and complete form from low to high. For example, the earliest epitaph found at present is about the Warring States period, and its content is extremely simple. It was not until the Western Jin Dynasty that a fully mature epitaph appeared. At present, the epitaph with mature shape and characteristics was built in the third year of the Western Jin Dynasty and unearthed in Luoyang. It can also be said that the early evolution history of China's epitaph was mainly completed in the Yellow River valley in the north, while the southern region was already a tributary when it appeared in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and even the Southern Dynasties. However, since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, epitaphs have been widely used because of the trend of integration between the north and the south. Historically, epitaphs have had names such as tombstone, tombstone, epitaph, tomb note, burial inscription, epitaph, inscription, tomb edition, Tang Lu of Yuan Dynasty (Xuan Dynasty), Ling Sheming, and heavy burial note. Of course, the most commonly used is "epitaph" or "dozens of unearthed materials collected in this book are often called" epitaph "and can also be used as evidence. It is precisely because China has a tradition of "carving on stones" to record historical events since ancient times that, at least in the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a discipline specializing in this kind of cultural relics-"epigraphy". Zhu Jianxin said, "Who is epigraphy? This paper studies the names, forms, systems and evolution of stone carvings in China in the past dynasties, as well as the styles and patterns of carved characters and images, from the textual research of classics and historical cases to the study of artistic appreciation.

Therefore, running script, seal script and regular script are all suitable for engraving epitaphs.
