MUSEUM
OF FOREST OF STONE TABLETS IN XI'AN |

To preserve the written daily lessons,
early rulers ordered the calligraphers to
engrave them on stone tablets. The museum
was once the site of the Temple of Confucius
(Northern Song 960-1127). Close to the south
gate of Xi'an City Wall, it is on Sanxue
Street. For safe keeping as early as 1087
AD some precious stone steles were moved
here. The Stone Forest now houses over 3,000
pieces |
|
|
| of
stone steles ranging from the Han dynasty to the
Qing dynasty. It covers an area of 30,000 square
meters or more. The exhibition is divided into
seven exhibitions halls and two sections: Xi'an
Forest of Stone Tablets and Stone Sculptures.
Included with the steles, on display are the works
of famous calligraphers, painters and historical
records. A bell weighing six tons is named Jingyun
and was declared world famous at the 1964 Bell
Exhibition. |
