Features: The above are some materials for studying ancient scripts. In addition, there is another valuable heritage, which is the stone inscriptions of all dynasties. This stone material should be given due attention. In terms of historical records, it can supplement the shortcomings of literature and correct the errors in ancient books; in terms of script, it makes equally important contributions. I will not discuss the overall issue of stone inscriptions for now. Even just considering the stone inscriptions of ancient scripts from the Shang and Zhou dynasties to the Jin period included in this book, they already hold great value. It must be pointed out that stone inscriptions are not easy to preserve. Stone does not last as long as bronze, let alone steles? Inscribed on stone and exposed to the wild, they are easily eroded by wind and rain and damaged by human activities. This has led to the dissemination of early rubbings.
