Everyone knows that the Tang Dynasty monk Huairen compiled the "Holy Teaching Preface" with the king's calligraphy, but few people know that the same Tang Dynasty monk compiled the "Xingfu Temple Half Stele" with the king's calligraphy.

  "Half Stele of Xingfu Temple" is an inscription compiled by Daya and other monks from Xingfu Temple in the Tang Dynasty and published by the calligrapher Wang Xizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Founded in Chang'an in the ninth year of Kaiyuan (721). This stele is also called the "Wu Wen Stele" or the "Wu Wen Stele, the Great General of the State". Because only the lower half remained when it was unearthed, it was called the "half stele." There are 35 lines in this stele, and each remaining line has 23, 24, or 25 characters, with 3 empty lines. The calligraphy is smooth and well-carved. It is an important inscription for studying Wang Xizhi's calligraphy and is stored in the Stele Forest of the Shaanxi Provincial Museum.

    In the Qing Dynasty, Yang Bin said that there were eighteen authors of the king's books in the Tang Dynasty, and "Holy Teaching" was ranked first, and "Xingfu Temple" was second only to "Holy Teaching". The calligraphy is smooth and the imitation is excellent. It is an important original inscription for studying Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. This stele was unearthed in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province during the Wanli Period. "Mo Lin Kuai Shi" states: "Ji Ren Daya is a monk of Xingfu Temple. It is called "Xingfu Tie" in the old world. Ji Wangzi Gu Du got his spiritual strength, so it is Calligraphers value it."

    The character "四" in the "Four Prefaces" in the 20th line of the old rubbings is intact, and the character "剧" (jin) in the eight-line "duancai" is intact. Before liberation, the character "四" in the "Four Prefaces" of the old rubbings was found in Mingming Bookstore, Nippon Hakuwendo, Yiyuan Zhendangsha, Ergensha and Nippon "Book Garden" has been photocopied and published.

    This stele, together with Huairen's "Holy Religion Preface" written by King Huairen, is a masterpiece among the stele inscriptions written by King Huairen in the Tang Dynasty.
