On November 9, 2021, Yutong Ma, master’s student in the Graduate School of Architecture & Urban Design in the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University, spoke about ink rubbings of original stone engravings from the Wu Family Ancestral Shrine in Shandong province, China. The ink rubbings, an ancient technique to reproduce and study carved stone surfaces, present a narrative of Chinese history until the second century CE and provide insight into Wu Liang’s philosophy as a Confucianist scholar. The talk situates scenes depicted in five ink rubbings from the Museum’s collection within the architectural space of the Wu Liang Shrine and the sociopolitical context of China during the Eastern Han dynasty (25–220 CE).
