Features: This book is one of the classics of Chinese stone inscriptions and rubbings. It includes the full text of the Tang Dynasty inscription "Collecting Wang Xizhi's Calligraphy of the Diamond Sutra." The book is printed with exquisite craftsmanship, accurately capturing the spirit of the original work, making it an excellent model for calligraphy enthusiasts learning running script. The original stone carving was located in Xingtang Temple in Xi'an, Shaanxi. After the temple was destroyed, the stone was lost, resulting in very few famous rubbings in the world. This edition is a Song Dynasty rubbing, with ink colors as fresh as new and sharp edges still visible, largely preserving the essence of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy.
