2016年12月英語六級翻譯預(yù)測熱點：文房四寶

　　文房四寶(Four Treasures of the Study)是中國書法傳統(tǒng)書寫工具的統(tǒng)稱，包括筆、墨、紙、硯(inkstone)。“文房”指的是學(xué)者的書房。除了這四寶，書房里的工具還有筆筒、筆架、墨盒、腕托、筆洗、墨塊(inkpad)，這些都是書房必備品。唐宋是書法的繁榮時期，當(dāng)時著名的生廠商制造的經(jīng)典文房四寶被后世學(xué)者高度贊揚。中國傳統(tǒng)文化及藝術(shù)的發(fā)明和發(fā)展與文房四寶密切相關(guān)。在某種程度上，文房四寶代表了中國傳統(tǒng)文化的重要元素。
