| 内容简介（英文） | Based on Ch’en Li’s inscription, P’an Shih-p’eng engraved a copy of the Lang-ya Terrace stone inscription at Yueh Hsiu-shan Hsuan-hai Hall, this hanging scroll (donated by Mr. Ch’en Chih-fan) being a rubbing of it. In 218 BC, Ch’in Shih Huang, the First Emperor of China, was on a tour when he ascended the Lang-ya Terrace, Prime Minister Li Ssu composing a record in small seal script of its merits. Engraved in stone the next year, it is now an important example of Ch’in seal script. The calligraphy is solemn and dignified, majestic and imposing. Compared with the original rubbing (and though a copy after an engraving), the characters and brushwork retain the naturally powerful style, showing the importance of engraved copies in calligraphy history. |
