Glory of the Tang Dynasty - Exhibition on Rare Rubbings of Tang Stele Inscriptions
The "Glory of the Tang Dynasty - Exhibition on Rare Rubbings of Tang Stele Inscriptions in the Shanghai Library Collection" jointly organized by the Shanghai Library and Shanghai Calligraphers Association opened on November 1 in Exhibition Hall No. 1 of the Shanghai Library. The exhibition will last 14 days and is to be closed on November 14.
The Shanghai Library has 250,000 rubbings in its collection, of which more than 3,000 are rare items. Relying on the advantages of its unique collection, the library presents more than 60 rare rubbings of Tang stele inscriptions in this exhibition, including "Si Ou Bao Ji", which is one of the most valuable treasures of the Shanghai Library, as well as a variety of Song rubbings, only existing rubbings, and rare original rubbings, which are valued as the "National Treasures", and nearly half of the exhibits are the first- or second-degree national cultural relics. In addition, the exhibition also displays as much as possible the rare rubbings of the same stele inscription from different periods, in order to provide more references for further research.
This exhibition presents either Song rubbings or Ming rubbings of the Tang stele inscriptions, and the early Qing rubbings at the exhibition are the earliest or relatively early versions. It displays the rare rubbings of Tang stele inscriptions collected by the Shanghai Library in an all-round and high-standard manner, which is the unique feature and highlight of this exhibition.
