If the sky is clear and everything is shining, the artistic conception should be on the stones of Shi Chen, Yi Ying, Confucius Temple and Cao Quan, regardless of other stones.” Yang Shoujing believed in the “Ping Bei Ji” that the inscription on the tablet is complete, and the words on the side of the tablet are as sharp as new, especially elegant and colorful, which are highly appreciated by calligraphers.
