Xi'an's Beilin (Forest of Stone Steles)

Xi'an Beilin (Forest of Stone Steles) was initially founded in the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127), housing more than 4,000 stone steles and epitaphs from the Han Dynasty (25-220) to modern times. The calligraphies caved on the stone are of extremely great value, and the contents cover ancient classics and bibliographies of profound historical culture connotation. Therefore, the museum is called the "Treasure House of Calligraphy Arts".

Standing in the Museum are great numbers of stone steles, and thus it is named as Forest of Stone Steles.
