Not on viewThis rubbing was taken in the renowned Stele Forest in Xi’an, China, a city that was the capital of many early dynasties. The Stele Forest was formerly a Confucian temple, where stelae were erected starting in the 11th century. There are now almost 3,000. This one was based on a painting by Zhū Jíyì, whose name and seals appear on the upper right, with the date of spring 1680. At the lower left the name of the stone carver, Zhōu Zàifēng 周在豐, is given along with the carver of the calligraphy, Féng Xiù 馮繡.
