Features: The Stone Sculpture volume of "The Masterpieces of Beijing Cultural Relics" is basically arranged in chronological order. Those with unclear information are listed after the relevant dynasties. In some cases, individual stone sculptures have been adjusted in order to maintain the integrity of grouped stone sculpture sets. The illustrated catalog includes over 150 exquisite stone sculptures from the Neolithic Age, the Han Dynasty, the Northern Wei, the Sui, the Tang, the Liao, the Jin, the Yuan, the Ming, the Qing, and the Republican period. An introductory article titled "Stone Sculpture Art in Beijing" is provided at the beginning of the volume, with captions and appendices for the illustrations. Information on the names, dates, original locations, and current locations of the stone sculpture artifacts is included, and some entries also provide details on their provenance and related content.
