Features: The Lì Shì (Explaining Clerical Script) consists of 27 volumes. The first 19 volumes compile 189 types of Han and Wei dynasty steles and stone inscriptions. Each entry is written in regular script based on the stroke order of clerical script, followed by annotations that include historical introductions, descriptions of the steles and inscriptions, and textual research on Han clerical script, among other things. The 20th volume and subsequent volumes append Han and Wei dynasty stele lists from the Shui Jing Zhu (Annotations to the Waterways Classic), Ouyang Xiu's Ji Gu Lu (Collected Antiquities), Ouyang Fei's Ji Gu Lu Mu (Collected Antiquities Catalogue), Zhao Mingcheng's Jin Shi Lu (Records of Steles and Inscriptions), and the anonymous Tian Xia Bei Mu (Catalogue of Steles Throughout the Empire), with the Han and Wei dynasty portions serving as references. The Lì Xu (Continuation of Lì Shì), comprising 21 volumes, is a continuation of Lì Shì, collecting additional steles and annotating them according to the same method. The original Lì Xu was scattered and later gradually compiled into a complete work. Lì Shì and Lì Xu are the earliest specialized books compiling the texts of Han and Wei dynasty steles and inscriptions, serving as important historical documents and valuable resources for studying the evolution of Chinese characters, stone rubbings, and Han and Wei dynasty history today.
