Features: Master Han Deng'an (1905—1976) once carved a set titled Poetry of Chairman Mao Zedong Carved in Stone, with one print for each poem totaling thirty-six prints. It was published by Shanghai Fine Arts Publishing House in 1979. Among them, the two Seven-Lin Poems·Seeing off Malaria were carved as one print, while the three Three-Character Odes were carved in three separate pieces. The rest were each carved as one print per poem. Although this masterpiece was created from spring 1962 to summer 1963, it embodies the culmination of Master Han's lifelong craftsmanship. The publication of this set received strong and unanimous praise from the seal carving community both at home and abroad, hailed as a pinnacle work of multi-character seals. Over twenty years have passed, and the book has long been out of print, with people yearning for its reprint. On the occasion of the centenary of Master Han's birth, the Cultural Relics Publishing House has decided to republish Master Han's Poetry of Chairman Mao Zedong Carved in Stone, replacing the original poetry text with the newly collected Song Dynasty character version of Records of the Grand Historian carved by Huang Shanfu, titled Thirty-Nine Poems of Chairman Mao Zedong, creating a perfect match. Additionally, a missing Seven-Lin Poem·For Comrade Li Jin on the Photograph of the Fairy Cave on Lushan Mountain has been added. This is a great thing.
