Features: Professor Fan Zeng is a renowned scholar both in China and abroad, a master who combines philosophy, history, literature, poetry, calligraphy, and painting. His calligraphy and painting works, as well as his literary works, have been widely celebrated by readers both in China and abroad. Especially his rigorous and elegant classical prose and poetry, as well as the inscriptions he wrote, have been extensively carved into cliffs, adding beauty to mountains and brilliance to the earth. The charm of these cliff inscriptions has long been little-known. To make up for this shortcoming, the compilers spent several years widely collecting them across the country and then had them compiled by experts to form this selection. Professor Fan Zeng's literary and artistic achievements in calligraphy and painting are profound and deeply moving. After the re-creation by stone-carving artisans, the cliff works, under the backdrop of nature, further reveal the grandeur and extraordinary brilliance of Professor Fan's works, making them a spectacular sight in the world. Professor Fan Zeng's cliff inscriptions are widely distributed across China. According to incomplete statistics, there are over a hundred of them. The selection published here is just a small part of the whole, but it is enough to reflect the breadth and depth of Professor Fan's erudition. Professor Fan Zeng's cliff inscriptions will endure alongside heaven and earth.
