The National Central Library of Taiwan purchased stone rubbings of Meng Chi-Hsuan from Tianjin when it was first established. The core parts of this collection are 150 or so stone rubbings with Meng’s inscriptions. Among the library’s collections, the most important are the bronze and stone rubbings rescued from Jiangnan in 1940 and 1941, as well as the bronze ribbings purchased from Shang Cheng-Tso. The library has a total of 6,462 articles and 12,462 bronze and stone rubbings, most of which are inscriptions on the memorial tablet within a tomb (2,820), followed by carved stones (2,826), and bronze rubbings (771).
