文房四寶，是漢字文化圈傳統的文書工具，即毛筆、墨、紙、硯。源於中國，再傳播至日本、朝鮮半島、越南、琉球等地。文房四寶之名，起源於南北朝時期（420年—589年），「文房」之名意指「國家典掌文翰之地」（相當於國家資料庫），因為中國古代文人要經常使用筆、墨、宣紙、硯台，它們是文人書房中必備的四件寶貝。「文房四寶」在南唐時指諸葛筆、徽州李廷珪墨、澄心堂紙，江西婺源龍尾硯。自宋朝以來「文房四寶」指湖筆（浙江省湖州)、徽墨（安徽省徽州)、宣紙（安徽省宣州)、端硯（廣東省肇慶，古稱端州），它們不僅具有實用價值，也是融繪畫、書法、雕刻、裝飾等為一體的藝術品。
Four Jewels of the Study or Four Friends of the Study is an expression used to denote the brush, ink, paper and ink stone used in Chineseand other East Asian calligraphic traditions. The name appears to originate in the time of the Southern and Northern Dynasties (420–589 AD).
The Hongsi ink stone carved in flattened irregular form with rounded corners, carved on the surface with poet Li Bai seated beneath the pine tree, looking up towards the moon, next to the inkwell, the stone is of reddish-orange color tone with natural stone veins, reverse written with calligraphy.
