...Yi Feelings of Snow, 13 stone gate treasures of Hanzhong
A rubbing of a cliff-carved calligraphy in Hanzhong that is said to be a work by Cao Cao. The Hanzhong Cliff-carved calligraphy, known as "GunXue," refers to a specific Han dynasty (206 BCE - 220 CE) calligraphic work carved into a cliff face in Hanzhong, China. Hanzhong City Museum displays this calligraphy carving as one of the 13 Stone Gate treasures. Rubbings of this calligraphy are created by applying ink to paper pressed against the carved surface and are important for preserving and disseminating the script style, which is considered a unique blend of clerical and running script. This rubbing is obviously not that old and most likely to date ca 1980-1990s
The characters are Xue Yi, which translate to Snowy intent or the Feelings / Sense of Snow. The Black and white rubbing is mounted against pale green paper - the yellow see in some of the images is the casing I used to keep the scroll from rolling up and not part of the piece.
Condition: slight creasing and some smudging - I am not sure if this has been there since it was made. I carefully tried rubbing my finger on a black toned part of the image and it did not smudge off, nothing at all. The paper overall is intact with little tabs in the middle to attach it closer to the wall when hanging it horizontally. The paper has been rolled up for a while and it has a fairly strong curl in it.
Size: ca 68 inches wide (173 cm) and 19.5" tall (49.5 cm)
