Features: Professor Chen Zhi is a renowned expert in Qin and Han history in China. He has dedicated many years to collecting and researching Wadang pottery inscriptions, excelling in distinguishing forgeries, dating artifacts, and tracing their origins. His numerous innovations, especially his achievements in using Wadang inscriptions to study Qin and Han history and correct classical texts such as the Records of the Grand Historian (Shiji) and the Book of Han (Han Shu), are highly esteemed in academia. The book A Catalogue of Qin and Han Pottery from Guanzhong fully embodies his accomplishments in this field.
The book consists of three parts:
Part 1: A Catalogue of Qin and Han Pottery from Guanzhong and Supplement, where A Catalogue of Qin and Han Pottery from Guanzhong is divided into four categories: pottery, Wadang tiles, brick inscriptions, and coin molds, with a total of 434 artifacts collected. The Supplement is also divided into four categories, collecting 67 artifacts.
Part 2: A Catalogue of Cloud Pattern Wadang Tiles, featuring 55 artifacts.
Part 3: Chen Zhi’s Collection of Wadang Tiles (including other Wadang tiles collected by Professor Chen Zhi), with a total of 111 artifacts.
All the rubbings in the book are original, as most of the original artifacts are lost or destroyed. The rubbings are mostly unique copies, holding extremely high cultural heritage value. Professor Chen Zhi’s handwritten annotations and interpretations in the book are of great academic significance.
