There are many great projects in the history of Chinese calligraphy, which have left an extremely important and valuable heritage in the history of Chinese calligraphy, which shows that the ancients attached great importance to the inheritance of calligraphy art.

The earliest period was the period of Emperor Wu of Liang, and the original writing of Wang Xizhi, the imperial edict of the inner government, was "Thousand Character Text", which was copied and studied by the princes, grandsons, princes and ministers. Of course, in the Tang Dynasty, there was also Wu Zetian's edict to copy the scriptures and copy 12,000 volumes of Xiaokai.

In addition, during the period of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, more than 3,000 volumes of Wang Xi's authentic writings were used in the inner house, which lasted 25 years, and was compiled into a magnificent Dharma post "Jiwang Shengjiao Order". During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the compilation of the "Sanxitang Fati" is also a feat in the history of calligraphy.

If we talk about the greatest project in the history of calligraphy, it is none other than the "Chunhua Pavilion Post" compiled during the Song Taizong period.

And the ninth volume of the Dharma offered by the king has also been lost.

After this post was engraved, a copy was given to the royal family and ministers, and then because it was too precious, it was forbidden to copy it.

It is a pity that during the period of Song Renzong, the original jujube wood version of the "Chunhua Pavilion Post" was all burned, it is a pity, among the rubbings that currently survive, the different versions add up to dozens of kinds, and among them, the most finely engraved and there are the small notes of the ancients, which belong to the collection of the Freer Museum in the United States. Because it is in the United States, it has never been published, and it is verified that it is a copy of the master of the Southern Song Dynasty, and it is also the most complete and high-definition version in the world.

This volume has a total of ten volumes, and the tenth volume is the inscription and table of contents for later generations, among which the "two kings" of the law, a total of five of them, its preciousness is self-evident.
