Ming Tuo Xia Memorial Inscription Book Law Used 9787501008223 Key Features This product is a Chinese calligraphy reproduction of the "Xia Cheng Stele," also known as the "Han Bei Han Chun Yu Chang Xia Cheng Stele." Created in the third year of Jian Ning during the Eastern Han Dynasty (170 AD), it is housed in Yongnian, Hebei Province. Many existing rubbings are reproductions, and the calligraphy is renowned for its beauty. Scholar Wang Shizhen from the Ming Dynasty praised the stele's clerical script, noting its remarkable spirit and style, comparable to the works of famous calligraphers like Zhong and Liang. Some scholars believe the stele was carved in a mixed seal and clerical style, possibly during the Northern Qi period when it was reproduced. Early editions, such as the "Hua Shi Zhen Shang Zhai Ben," contain missing characters, which were later supplemented by Qing scholar Weng Fanggang. This reprint allows calligraphy enthusiasts to study and appreciate the work easily.
