Live Your Best Lives
The Huaibei Han Dynasty Stone Carvings Museum, located within Beishan Middle School, is named after master sculptor Liu Kaiqu, and the four seal characters " Han Dynasty Stone Carvings " were inscribed by Zheng Jiaqi, Vice Chairman of the Provincial CPPCC . The museum houses 25 precious Han Dynasty stone carvings , divided into two sections: indoor and outdoor, showcasing the lives of ancient people from various perspectives.
These Han Dynasty stone reliefs reflect the lives of ancient people from different perspectives. They are great epics, silent music, immortal paintings, and are treasures of the Chinese nation. They reflect the Huang-Lao philosophy of the soul's ascension to heaven and the resounding and majestic spirit of the Qin and Han dynasties, evoking a sense of the spiritual aura of the Lu Palace.
The stone carvings employ diverse compositional techniques, ranging from outlined lines to relief carvings, symbolism, exaggeration, and transformation, as well as pure cartoon-like techniques. They are novel, bold, and daring, imaginative, and feature graceful and flowing lines. They are treasures among ancient Chinese art works, offering a refreshing experience.
