Chinese scholars have been writing prefaces and postfaces in calligraphic scripts since ancient times. However, contemporary scholars rarely dabble in them. The author of this book Li Yi, researcher and doctoral supervisor at the China National Academy of Arts, is interested in studying and writing prefaces and postfaces in the cursive script to rubbings from stone or brick carvings. Prefaces and postfaces in the cursive script are very rare. Exquisitely designed and beautifully printed, this book is of high academic and artistic value, and is readable and collectable. It offers a truly enjoyable and rewarding reading experience. Famous art historian Xue Yongnian and Mo Yan, a winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, wrote prefaces to the book.
