Features: This book is a special collection from the Rare Book and Manuscript Division of the National Library of China, one of the selected inscriptions and stone rubbings by Liang Qichao. The collection features famous inscriptions and stone rubbings created by Liang Qichao, with exquisite rubbings, primarily using Ming or Qing Dynasty (Qianlong and Jiaqing reigns) editions. It also includes Liang Ren Gong's own annotations, providing historical and literary context. The collection is beneficial for calligraphy enthusiasts to study ancient classics, for those interested in inscriptions and stone rubbings to cross-reference and verify, and for scholars studying Liang Ren Gong to broaden their perspectives and discover new historical facts. This particular volume is the "Kong Biao Stele." The stele's establishment date is worn away, but Kong Biao died on the 13th day of the 7th month in the Jianning 4th year (171) of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The stele is located in the Confucius Temple in Qufu, Shandong. It is written in clerical script. The header is inscribed in seal script as "Han Guo Boling Taihou Kong Fu Jun Stele," and the back has names inscribed, both of which are missing rubbings. This is a mounted and bound copy, consisting of sixteen sections, with a height of 27 cm and a width of 15 cm. Liang Qichao wrote the title label and supplemented the header. The seals include: "Yinbing Studio," "Liang Ren Gong's Handwriting After Fifty Years," "Yinbing Studio Collection," "Inscriptions and Stone Rubbings Obtained from Shucun," "Zhao Family Shucun Collection of Inscriptions and Stone Rubbings," "Liang Ren Gong," "Temporarily Staying at Geshixiu's Home in Gushi," "Liang Qichao," and "Qichao." This copy was passed down from Zhao Shucun to the Liang family, with a note by Liang Qichao appended at the end. This is a Qing Dynasty (Jiaqing and Daoguang reigns) rubbing showing the lower part of the character "yue" in the fifth line "yue Gao Yao" and the upper part of the character "xiao" in the sixth line "xue Si Jun."
