Calligraphy Paperweight Ruler – Four Treasures of the Study,...

The duty of a paperweight (zhenchi) is not merely to hold down paper — it also serves as a symbolic warning, signaling that outsiders should not casually touch the owner's personal belongings. Beyond its practical use, the zhenchi embodies meanings such as "calming the mind" and "protecting the home," helping one remain composed and ward off negative energies. The "ruler" (chi) aspect of its name also represents a tool of measurement, symbolizing that a gentleman conducts himself with rules and boundaries. As an essential item on a scholar’s desk, the paperweight is not just a functional object, but also a refined work of art that brings aesthetic pleasure.
