Buddhist Rubbing collected in the Institute of History and Philology (Academia Sinica)Type Collection Collection Identifier c0508 Alternative Title
Description There are about 4000 pieces ink-rubbings of the Buddhism statues and steles in the collection. A majority of these rubbings are from Chinese provinces, such as Henan, Hebei, Shanxi, Shandong, Shaanxi, Sichuan and Gansu. These rubbings are dated from the 5th Century to the modern time. In addition, several rubbings are from foreign countries, such as the inscriptions of Sakyamuni and Bhaiṣajyaguru statues in the Golden Hall of Hōryū-ji in Japan. From the seals on the rubbings, we know the former collectors were Gui Fu, Duan Fang, Zhou Xingyi, Xu Naichang, Ke Changsi, Pan Zuyin and Liu Xihai. Some of the rubbings were collected by Mr. Shi Zhangru from our institute during his field works in theYao County , Shaanxi, in the 1940’s. The content of the rubbing is about the wishes of the sponsors, reasons for making statues, and the organizations of members. Writing of the epigraphy are important social historical data. Size
