Weibei is the general name for the stone carvings in the Northern Dynasties during the Southern and Northern Dynasties (420-588 AD), with the Northern Wei Dynasty as the most refined, which can be roughly divided into four types: tablet inscription, epitaph, statue and cliff stone carving. Calligraphy at this time is a transitional calligraphy system, connecting the preceding with the following. Zhong Zhishuai said that Wei Bei "can see the old norms of Han and Qin dynasties from above, and the customs of Sui and Tang dynasties from below".
Existential form
Weibei refers to the inscriptions and calligraphy works of the Northern Dynasties during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. The existing characters in Wei Bei are regular script, so these regular script inscriptions are sometimes called "Wei Kai".
Weibei, also known as the North Monument, was the longest established in the Northern Dynasties. Later, "Weibei" was used to refer to the inscription calligraphy works of the whole Northern Dynasty, including the Eastern Wei Dynasty, the Western Wei Dynasty, the Northern Qi Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty. These inscriptions mainly exist in the form of stone tablets, epitaphs and cliff statues.
There are a large number of works by Wei Bei, including thousands of statues found in Longmen Grottoes. These works are mixed. After finishing by predecessors, some works stand out from them and are regarded as representative works of Weibei.
