cataloging by dynasty and music genre








Dong Han dynasty is the most ancient one in this collection, the rubbings show its great glories and legend, so I would use classic music to represent this dynasty full of legendary storys.

The Tang Dynasty was the happiest dynasty with the fastest population growth. It occupied an important position in Chinese history and was also known as the dynasty with the strongest national power. During this period, every literati, poet, and even general had an opportunity. Show your skills, you can see many biographies of such outstanding talents in rubbings, just like musicians in jazz music can have more space to show their solos and talents, so I chose jazz as the representative of the Tang Dynasty .

During the Ming Dynasty, wars raged, and there were many forces competing against the country. The kings of this period had a different attitude from the kings of other dynasties. They refused to make peace and refused to be conquered. They had the most rebellious qualities. So I think they belong to rock music, passionate and high-pitched music.

The Qing Dynasty is the most recent dynasty and the last dynasty in China. Their rubbings have undergone more entertaining changes. You can see that the Qing Dynasty book covers in this series have richer colors and more complex patterns, which belong to the Qing Dynasty. The aesthetic has also become more diverse, just like today’s popular music, diverse and entertaining.
