The first draft of Lao Can's Travels: "Lao Can asked the scholar:" What ancient monument is that broken stone piece under the west porch? The Taoist replied, "It's the Qin Regiment, and its common name is Taishan Cross. There are rubbings for sale here. Do you want it?
Lu Xun's collection of letters to Wang Zhengshuo: "A package of rubbings, 67 * * *, was also received on the same day." Yang Shuo's "The Peak of Mount Tai": "If you want to capture the shadow of history, you can choose some rubbings of Taishan stone carvings from the tea shop in Chaoyangdong".
basic concept
Rubbing is one of the important carriers to record China culture. Useful materials can be found in history, geography, politics, economy, military affairs, nationalities, folk customs, literature, art, science and technology, architecture, etc. Broadly speaking, rubbings cover the surface of objects with rice paper, and use ink rubbings to record patterns and characters, which are rich in quantity and content.
Such as Oracle Bone Inscriptions, epitaph, cliff statue, coin portrait, etc. In a narrow sense, rubbings mainly refer to rubbings. Many inscriptions that have been lost and destroyed can only feel the content and style of the original inscriptions because of the rubbings handed down from generation to generation. For example, the Huashan Temple Monument in the Han Dynasty, the epitaph of Zhang Xuan in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the celestial monument in Soochow, and the Song Tuo Monument in Liu Gongquan in the Tang Dynasty are all orphans. If there is no rubbings, it will be difficult to see the true face of Lushan Mountain, and it will become a "puzzle".
