The Art of Making Ink Rubbings
In general, the circular monument is called a stone tablet, while a square one is called an
inscription. The most well known is the Tiger inscription, located in the border between Taipei
and Yilan County. Erected in 1867 (the sixth year of emperor Tongzhi’s reign in the Qing
Dynasty), it was inscribed by Taiwan Commander Liu Ming Deng for the purpose of quelling
evil spirits in the mountain. The strokes of the inscribed Tiger are so vigorous and energetic that
people now like to make ink rubbings. However, there is no water around the area to help
clean the inscription after making an ink rubbing and so the surface of the inscription is soaked
with black ink. In late 1987, the ink rubbings of the Tiger inscription, a level-three national
historical relic, were prohibited according to the Cultural Asset Protection Law. Since then, the
administration created an imitation of the Tiger Inscription at Dali Visitors’ Center so people
can safely make ink rubbings.
