Features: The Xingshen Temple Stele, when unearthed, was missing the upper half, hence its popular name [Half-Cut Stele], also known as [General Wu Wen Stele of Pacifying the Nation]. This stele was collected by the monk Daya of Xingfu Temple, featuring Wang Xizhi's calligraphy in running script, with thirty-five lines, each containing twenty-three or twenty-four characters. This stele, along with the Huai'en Collection of Wang Xizhi's works [Holy Teaching Preface], is considered a masterpiece among the Tang Dynasty steles that collected Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. Today, it is reproduced from the earliest (original) for the study and appreciation of calligraphy enthusiasts.
