Text Series: Han-Dynasty Clerical Script 2 – Stele of Cao Quan (Hyakunō Edition)

This masterpiece, along with the Ritual Instrument Stele, is considered one of the two greatest examples of Han Dynasty clerical script. Its flowing, elegant charm, urbane, and refined beauty, is unparalleled in its richness of movement. Some past commentators have argued that this stele is merely beautiful and lacks the strength of many other Han steles. The feminine charm of the Cao Quan Stele allows you to learn while enjoying the white space and the outline of the characters.
