Chinese calligraphy has last a very long history for thousand years. The ink brush, ink, paper, and inkstone are essential implements of Chinese calligraphy. They are known together as the Four Treasures of the Study. 

In addition to these four tools, a water-dropper, desk pads and paperweights are also used by calligraphers. Calligraphic works are usually completed by the calligrapher applying one or more seals in red ink. The seal can serve the function of a signature.
