Abstract:

Chinese epigraphy reached a peak in Song Dynasty; however, Lishi was the only monograph which collected a Han stele
about Yunnan. In Qing Dynasty, Chinese epigraphy blossomed again. Famous epigraphy scholars, WANG Chang, RUAN Yuan and
RUAN Fu, had been to Yunnan to look for and do research about Yunnan's stone inscriptions. Through their books, Yunnan's stone
inscriptions had become increasingly well-known.
