The Four Treasures of the Study are the writing tools with Chinese characteristics. Also known as “ the Scholar’s Four Jewels ”，namely the writing brush, ink-stick, paper and ink-slab.

文房四宝是中国独具特色的文书工具，因笔、墨、纸、砚为文房中经常使用，故被人们誉为“文房四宝”。

The study got its name in the Northern and Southern dynasties, referring only to the study of the literati.

文房之名，始于南北朝时期，专指文人书房而言。
