What do you mean by rubbings?

Stone rubbings, also known as stone rubbings, are a way to preserve cultural heritage by taking pictures or rubbing stone tablets. By taking photos or rubbing, the words and patterns on the stone tablet can be preserved, so that the broad masses of people can have a deeper understanding of ancient history and culture. In addition, rubbings on inscriptions can provide more intuitive and real evidence for future generations and provide strong support for historical research and cultural exchanges.

Stone rubbings are an important part of China traditional culture and have high historical and cultural value. In the history of our country, many important events and cultural heritages originated from inscriptions or descriptions of inscriptions. For example, the stone carvings in Confucius' Family Tales and Dunhuang stone carvings contain rich historical, cultural and artistic information, which is an important basis for studying ancient history and culture.

At present, stone rubbings have become an important means of cultural protection. With the changes of the times, stone tablets gradually wear out or are lost. If effective measures are not taken to protect them, they will lose their historical and cultural value. Therefore, for some special stone tablets, rubbings and photos should be taken in time for preservation and inheritance. At the same time, the rubbings of stone tablets can effectively copy and reconstruct the damaged or lost stone tablets, so that the ancient history and culture can be spread for a long time.
