When you enter the museum, the first thing you see is the former site of Confucius Temple, which can be traced back to the late Northern Song Dynasty. The buildings that have been preserved so far, such as Zhaobi, Paifang, Chi Pan, Lingxingmen, Huabiao, Jimen, Monument Pavilion and Liangbi, are mostly Ming and Qing buildings, following the inherent architectural pattern of Confucius Temple, forming a simple and elegant quadrangle-style building complex surrounded by green trees. Tang Jingyun Zhong and Daxia Shima displayed on both sides of the small hall are national treasures. The former was cast in Jing Yun, Tang Ruizong for two years, with a history of 1200 years. Its sound quality is pure and beautiful, and the bell is crisp and loud, with an inscription by Tang Ruizong Li Dan, which is a rare calligraphy masterpiece of Li Dan. The latter, The Stone Horse in the Great Summer, is the masterpiece of the Great Summer State established by the Xiongnu Iron and Wealth Department during the Sixteen Kingdoms Period. He inherited the characteristics of the Han Dynasty, such as profound art, huge volume and vivid expression, which represented the artistic concept and level of that era and was also a rare and precious national cultural relic.
Xi' anbeilin was built in Yuan You, North Song Zhezong in the second year (A.D. 1087). Originally, it was built by Lu Dazhong, the ambassador of grain transportation, to preserve the famous stone tablets inscribed by Yan Zhenqing and Liu Gongquan abandoned by the war in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties. After maintenance and addition in Jin, Yuan, Ming, Qing and Republic of China, the scale has been continuously expanded. There are nearly 3,000 steles and epitaphs in Xi 'an stele forest since the Han Dynasty, with 1089 pieces on display. The number of epitaphs and epitaphs is the highest in China, and the collection period series is complete, spanning over 2000 years. Here, the forest of steles is like a forest, and there are all kinds of seals, official scripts, regular script and cursive script, and famous artists gather together and fine products are everywhere, which is amazing. The Song version of Qin's "Carving Stone on Yishan Mountain" gives people a glimpse of Li Si's small seal style of "painting into stone and flying words". Cao Quanbei in the Eastern Han Dynasty has a beautiful font, which is the most complete and unique rare masterpiece among the existing Han steles in China. The epitaph of the Northern Wei Dynasty in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the remnant tablet of Sima Fang carefully collected and donated by Mr. Yu Youren to the forest of steles in the 1930s, the tablet made by General Guangwu, the tablet of Huifu Temple and the hidden stone of Qizhizhai in Yuanyang all enjoyed a high reputation in the calligraphy circle. Among the forest of steles, the Sui and Tang Dynasty steles are the most spectacular, including Meng Xianda stele, Zhiyong Qianzi stele, Yu Shinan Confucius Temple stele in Tang Dynasty, Huang Fushou stele, Chu Suiliang's Preface to Tongzhou Shengtang stele, Ouyang Tong's Daoyin Mage stele, Zhang Xu's Broken Qianzi stele, and Li and Huai Su's Three Graves stele. It is particularly worth mentioning that the seven monuments of Yan Zhenqing collected by Beilin are: the multi-pagoda monument written by him at the age of 44, the Zanghuaike monument written at the age of 54, the Guojiamiao monument written at the age of 55, the Yan monument written at the age of 70, the Ma Phosphorus monument written at the age of 7/kloc-0, and 72. After 24 years of painstaking efforts, monk Huairen carved the Preface of the Holy Religion in the Inner Palace with Wang Xizhi's ink, which reproduced the calligraphy style of scholar Wang Xizhi, beautiful and elegant. In addition, the inscription was prefaced by Emperor Taizong, an outstanding emperor in the history of China, and his son Li Zhi wrote it as a note, praising the outstanding Buddhist, traveler and translator Xuanzang, and was praised by later generations. Famous calligraphers after the Tang Dynasty, such as Huang Tingjian, Mi Fei, Zhao Page, Dong Qichang, He and even modern Yu Youren, also left their precious poems and pen and ink in the forest of steles. The "Song Chunhua Pavilion Post" carved by Zhu Jia, a Qing princess, is a subordinate post station that collects the masterpieces of China's calligraphy works in past dynasties, which provides great convenience for studying the classification and evolution of China's calligraphy art. On the other hand, many stone tablets in the forest of steles also have important historical value. There are 1 14 stones, 228 faces and more than 650,000 words in the Tang Dynasty, which is a precious material for studying the Confucian classics in the Tang Dynasty. The famous China Monument of Nestorianism of Daqin in Tang Dynasty records the canon, doctrine, spread of Christian Nestorius School in China and the activities of monks in Tang Dynasty 150 years' history. The side and lower part of the monument are engraved with the titles of ancient Syrian characters, which provides valuable historical materials for the study of religious history and the exchange of ancient Chinese and Western cultures. Bukong Shangbei, written by Xu Hao, a calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, is of great value to the study of the spread of Buddhism and the history of cultural exchanges between China, Japan and India. In addition, the forest of steles still retains a large number of ancient stone carving patterns, such as Wang Wei's painting of bamboo, Linfa, the portrait of Master Daoyin, and the side of Guangfu Temple, which are lifelike, skillful in artistic techniques and rich in cultural connotations, and are highly praised by artists of all ages.
It is precisely because Xi 'an Beilin Museum has such a vast collection, excellent calligraphy artistic value and rich cultural connotation that it is known as "the treasure house of oriental culture", "the source of calligraphy art", "the palace of exquisite stone carving in Han and Tang Dynasties" and "the oldest stone carving library in the world". It is a national AAAA-level tourist attraction and one of the characteristic tourist landscapes of China 18. In recent years, it has been included in the preparatory list for China to apply for World Cultural Heritage. As one of the most valuable cultural relics in Xi, it attracts more than 600,000 tourists from home and abroad every year. Today, Xi 'an stele forest has become an important part of the world cultural treasure house and an important window to carry forward the traditional culture of the motherland. Today, with the reform and opening up, Xi 'an Beilin Museum is writing a new chapter in cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries with a brand-new look.
