YINGGUANGTANG TIE (engraved 1208-1224)
13th Century Rubbing of the Yingguangtang Tie
Set of two albums, each with twenty double leaves, ink rubbed on paper, each double leaf measures 13 3/8 X 14 1/8in. (34 X 46cm.)
Total of twenty-nine collectors' seals, including three of Li Shibing (*****), twelve of Huang Fang (19th century), eleven of Xu Weiren, (?-1853), and three of Wu Yun (1811-1883)
Six colophons, including three of Wu Yun, two of Xu Weiren, and one of Yang Shoujing (1839-1914)
The Yingguangtang tie was engraved by Ye Ke (1183-1234), grandson of Yue Fei, in the Jiading era of the Northern Song dynasty (1208-1223). The famous Ming dynasty collector Fan Dace stated in his book Beitie jizeng (Rubbings Seen and Researched by the Author), that Feng Fang (16th century) was able to get one volume of this rubbing from the Yuan family, but did not know where the remaining volume was. By the late Ming dynasty it was already rare. From the late Qing dynasty until modern times the only edition available has been a reproduction by Xu Weiren, which was made from this very set. (2)
