As the stones were stored in the imperial palace, only close court officials were granted copies, making it difficult for ordinary officials and citizens to obtain. The "Three Pines Studio Calligraphy Collection" is renowned for its extensive collection and exquisite engraving. Since the late Qing Dynasty, numerous copies have been made, and various stone-printed editions have been available in the market. This edition is a miniature version of a fine rubbing from the original stone, designed for calligraphy enthusiasts to conveniently carry and appreciate.
