In history, literature was almost identical to art. Among them, there is no lack of penetrating judgment about beauty, but which is often forgotten.

The three volumes were the first carving copies of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty. The two volumes are the lithographic books in 1909, with the "Preface of Yongzheng and Yu Zhaosheng" as the base.
