Four Treasures of the Study generally refers to pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Paperweight is used to press paper, which does not belong to Four Treasures of the Study, but it is also one of the necessary items in the study, and it can be called the five treasures of the study.

Ancient people used paperweights to write calligraphy or paint, because ancient paper was very thin and easy to move, fold and deform. On the other hand, when preserving rice paper, it is customary to roll it up for preservation, which leads to uneven spreading of rice paper. Therefore, paperweights can be used to hold down paper, prevent paper from deforming or wrinkling, facilitate writing or painting, and also have an appreciation effect; Today, the paper pressing function of paperweight is not so important. If you draw or write with a piece of paper, paperweights can still play a role.

Paperweight is also called calligraphy paperweight. Generally, when preparing, you should choose the appropriate number of paperweights according to the needs of calligraphy:

1. If the length of the work is not large, you can only press the upper right corner with paperweight, because calligraphy is written from top to bottom and from right to left.

2. If there is a little more space for calligraphy, a paperweight may not fit. You can prepare two pieces and press them in the upper right corner and the upper left corner.

3. If the length of calligraphy is very long, prepare more paperweights, not only pressing the four corners, but also pressing the middle.
