Features: This book primarily collects Sui Dynasty steles, epitaphs (including brick epitaphs), tower inscriptions, and statue inscriptions, totaling 104 types, encompassing almost all major steles and epitaphs of the Sui Dynasty. The recorded steles and epitaphs are mainly based on the original stones or, in the absence of original stones, on original rubbings. To facilitate readers' reading and use, the arrangement follows the chronological order of inscription (including month and day), with those without exact dates placed after those with dates. Each stele or epitaph is introduced with specific details such as the date of inscription, location of discovery (or collection), dimensions, and other natural characteristics. For some steles and epitaphs with exquisite calligraphy, concise comments are provided. This book is suitable for calligraphy enthusiasts and researchers of calligraphy history.
