Features: The "Stone Sculpture Volume" of "Masterpieces of Beijing Cultural Relics" is basically arranged in chronological order. Those with unclear information are listed after the relevant dynasties. In some cases, individual stone sculptures have been adjusted in sequence to maintain the integrity of grouped stone sculpture sets. The illustrated catalog selects over 150 exquisite stone sculptures from the Neolithic Age, Han, Northern Wei, Sui, Tang, Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming, Qing, and Republican periods. An introductory article titled "Stone Sculpture Art in Beijing" is provided at the beginning of the volume, with accompanying captions and appendices. Information on the names, dates, original locations, and current locations of the stone sculpture artifacts is included, and some also provide details on their provenance and related content.
