介绍（中）	这幅拓印中再现的书法，刻在官书家严振清家庙的石碑上。碑上的文字是献给燕父的，记录了家族前几代的成就。原石碑现保存在西安石碑林中。虽然唐代实行了多种形式的书法，但那个时期的标准文字对后来的艺术史影响最大。在以阎锡山碑文为代表的标准文字中，方形的字符是用清晰的笔画书写的，这些笔画具有复杂的转弯、钩子和点。从唐代开始，这种文字类型被广泛用于正式文件和公共纪念碑。标准字体是儿童首先学习的书法形式，是中文印刷中使用的字体的基础。作为中国历史上最有影响力的艺术家之一，严振清也是唐朝杰出的政治家，因拒绝屈服于意图推翻王朝的叛军而遭受烈士死亡。这篇不朽的文字被书法学者视为严不可征服的正直的有力反映。
介绍（英）	The calligraphy reproduced in this rubbing was engraved on a stone stele erected at the family temple of the official and calligrapher Yan Zhenqing. The text on the stele, which is dedicated to Yan's father, records the achievements of earlier generations of the family. The original stele is preserved today in the Forest of Stelae in Xi'an. Although many forms of calligraphy were practiced during the Tang dynasty, standard script from that period had the greatest impact on the later history of the art. In standard script, exemplified by Yan's stele inscription, square-shaped characters are written with articulated strokes that have complex turns, hooks, and dots. From the Tang dynasty on, this script type was used extensively for formal documents and public monuments. Standard script is the form of calligraphy first learned by children and is the basis for the typefaces used in Chinese printing. One of the most influential artists in Chinese history, Yan Zhenqing was also a prominent statesman of the Tang dynasty and suffered a martyr's death when he refused to submit to rebels intent on overthrowing the dynasty. This monumental writing is seen by scholars of calligraphy as a powerful reflection of Yan's unconquerable integrity.
