Features: This book is in traditional vertical Chinese characters. Qu Zhongrong spent about ten years compiling "the records he had collected over the years" to write A Study of the Images in Han Wu's Liang Temple (in six volumes). Qu also extracted forty images separately into a volume, "to serve as assistance for archaeologists" (from Qu Zhongrong's preface to A Study of the Images in Han Wu's Liang Temple). This book "examines the facts in the images in great detail" (from Liu Chenggan's preface to A Study of the Images in Han Wu's Liang Temple), making it an important historical source for studying the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty and stone carving art.
