Features: In the history of modern Chinese culture, Liang Qichao is an indispensable key figure. He participated in the Hundred Days' Reform, serving as a capable politician. He pioneered the establishment of newspapers and journals in modern times to spread new learning, embodying a sage of intellectual enlightenment. His multiple appointments as Minister of Justice and Minister of Finance demonstrate that he was not just a scholar confined to theoretical discussions but possessed practical executive abilities. In the history of academia, the "New Historicism" he advocated set a new trend. His extensive collection of inscriptions and epigraphs, accompanied by detailed annotations, further showcases his professional demeanor as a connoisseur of epigraphy. Combined with his lecture on calligraphy at Peking University, "Guidance on Calligraphy," it forms an image of a calligrapher who was a visionary and pioneer in the past century. With modern theoretical thinking and proficiency in traditional studies (including textual criticism, collation, edition, and authentication), his approach to collecting inscriptions and rubbings was an optional aspect of the scholar-official style, while his thinking was "reformist" and "radical." This book is one of the classics in Chinese inscriptions and rubbings. It includes the complete text of the famous Lishu masterpiece, the "Gongge Song." The book is printed with exquisite craftsmanship, effectively reproducing the spiritual essence of the original work, making it an excellent model for calligraphy enthusiasts to study.
