The Qing Dynasty expanded the stele of the Southern Dynasty

[Tombstone of the Southern Dynasties of the Qing Dynasty]

The Tombstone of the Emperor Xiao, also known as the Tombstone of the King of Shixing, was written by Xu Mian, the book of Bei Yiyuan, the inscription of Gao Yuan, and the inscription of Fang Xianming. The rubbings are Qing rubbings collected in the Forbidden City, 331 cm in length and 130 cm in width. The regular script has 36 lines and 86 words. The inscription on the forehead is engraved with 17 characters in regular script, “The stele of General Situ Piaoqi in the late Liang Dynasty who was loyal to King Wu”. Names of people are listed on the tablet. This monument is tall, and the original regular script is more than 3000 characters, but now it is more than one third of it. The second half of the word “Yuan” of Bei Yiyuan has not been played. There are seven seals, including “Liu Xihai”, “Wu Guojun” and “Boying Wu’s Collection”
The calligraphy of this tablet has a great impact on later generations. Kang Youwei believes that European calligraphy originated from this monument. He said: “Bei Yiyuan’s book The Stele of the King of Shixing is a long spear and halberd, which is more effective”. “If the structure is steep and dense, the strokes are sharp, and the straight and the straight are the same as the” Stele of the King of Huangfu “, Zhiru is more specialized in learning this stele.” (“Guangyizhou Double Series”)
This stele has been recorded in Hong Yixuan’s “Reading the Stele in Pingjin”, Lu Zengxiang’s “Correcting the Eight Qiongshi Stone” and Luo Zhenyu’s “Postscript of the Snow Hall Stone”.
