Features: This volume includes 150 fine calligraphy and ink works from the Western Jin Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, selected from cultural and heritage institutions in Beijing. Calligraphy works in stele and stone inscriptions have been separately included in the "Rare Ancient Books Volume" and the "Stone Inscriptions Volume." This book begins with bilingual (Chinese and English) tables of contents, followed by an introduction, a special article, and then illustrations divided into four parts: Jin to Tang, Song to Yuan, Ming, and Qing. Finally, there is a description of the illustrations. The ancient Chinese calligraphy and ink works collected in this volume are sourced from the Capital Museum, Beijing Cultural Relics Company, and Beijing Art Museum. They include representative works of famous calligraphers from various dynasties, as well as works by less renowned calligraphers with profound skills whose ink works are rarely preserved. All these works have withstood the test of time and remain invaluable, embodying rich artistic language and thought, worthy of our appreciation and admiration.
