Overview
Although the Sui dynasty was short-lived at just 37 years, it unified the Northern and Southern dynasties, and laid the foundation for the Tang dynasty. In calligraphy, it was a very important era in the history of the development of standard-style script, and is noteworthy for its abundance of fascinating epitaphs. In this exhibition, we will primarily introduce the epitaphs of women known as “court ladies”, who served in the court of Emperor Yang Guang.
