The Epitaph of Yuan Huai from the Northern Wei has a touch of Lishu (official script, an ancient style of calligraphy current in the Han Dynasty) with graceful handwriting; the Epitaph of Quan Nansheng from the Song Dynasty is the handwriting of Ouyang Tong, one of the few original handwritings left by Ouyang Tong; and the Epitaph of Wang Shanggong was written by Sima Guang.
