Xi An Stele Forest And Guilin Guihai Stele Forest

Xi’an Stele Forest was established in 1090 during the Northern Song Dynasty (960 – 1279). It covers an area of 31,000 square meters. The museum is divided into seven major exhibition halls, which mainly display ancient calligraphy, historical records and stone carvings. Guihai Stele Forest is a collection of 218 well-preserved upright stone tablets with various ancient engravings. Most of these painstaking works of engraving were from the Tang (618-907) and Song Dynasties, which are of great significance to the development of Chinese calligraphy.
