After watching these fan bone rubbings, do you feel that compared with their calligraphy and painting works, on the basis of retaining the original style of calligraphers and painters, there is a different kind of golden stone interest?
This is the special feature of the bamboo carved fan bone, which combines the golden stone qi and the book volume qi. In addition, it can be seen from the above rubbings that in addition to aesthetics and practicality, the bamboo carved fan bone also retains a very rich historical and humanistic information.

482 pieces of famous fan bone rubbings
73 bamboo carving masters
For the first time in 400 years, fan bone rubbings were systematically organized and published
·35 years of checks and grading·
This batch of fan bone rubbings was mr. Xu Yongxiang participated in the identification of cultural relics entering and leaving the Shanghai port in 1973, was hired as a member of the State Cultural Relics Appraisal Committee in 1990, and retired from the position of director of the Scattered Cultural Relics Management Department of the Shanghai Municipal Cultural Relics Management Commission in 2008. The sources of this batch of rubbings mainly come from:
1. He was promoted in the appraisal of the import and export of cultural relics. In the 1960s, the Ministry of Culture issued the "Reference Standards for the Identification of Import and Export of Cultural Relics", which stipulated that before 1911, famous bamboo carvings were not allowed to be exported, so Mr. Xu Yongxiang's work assumed the role of screening and grading.
2. Review of auction objects of cultural relics and artworks.
3. Some of the fine products stored in the Wenqing group are fanned.
Because of Mr. Xu Yongxiang's special status, this book is not a simple compilation of materials, but also reflects Mr. Xu Yongxiang's identification and aesthetic vision.
· Hand-made, well-rounded·
Chuantuo is the most important recording technology for retaining information such as physical texts, ornaments, and even the shape of utensils before the birth of photography. Mr. Xu Yongxiang used this method to record his exquisite bamboo carved fan bones, and the finishing was excellent and not in the slightest.
In the process of editing, I happened to find a few physical objects of fan bones, although I did not put physical photos in the book, so I specially displayed the comparison chart between the physical objects and the rubbings in the public name, which also showed the sophistication of the topographers, and also showed the significance of Mr. Xu Yongxiang's work that year. In addition, from the perspective of appreciation, the fan bone object does not have a rubbing to better present the whole picture of art.
