About stone carving

Stone carvings generally refer to stone products such as tablets or cliffs with words and patterns engraved on them. Stone carving is a sculpture art and has a long history in China. There are many types of ancient stone carvings, using various techniques such as round carving, relief carving, open carving and flat carving, and line carving. UNESCO evaluates Luoyang Longmen Grottoes as "the highest peak of Chinese stone carving art". In 2022, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage issued a notice to strengthen the management of rubbings of stone carvings and cultural relics. In 2020, the scientific expedition team of Qinghai Normal University discovered a stone inscription of Qin Shihuang sending envoys to "Collect Medicine from Kunlun" on the north bank of Zhaling Lake in Maduo County, Qinghai Province.
