将名家墨迹汇刻于石头或木板上，再用拓印之法，使之传布，即所谓法帖。它始自隋唐，自宋以来，逐渐兴盛，逮及清代，风流弥著。杭州孔庙集藏的清代法帖，均由名家摹勒上石，镌刻精良，形神酷肖。既有明清书坛之百花齐放、群芳争妍，各家书法之燕瘦环肥、姚黄魏紫，更有东晋二王之丰神逸态、宋四大家之文人意趣。徜徉其间，仿佛与翰墨真迹面对面，令人赏心悦目、留连忘返。
Model calligraphy refers to rubbings of engraved models of masters’ calligraphy on stones or boards. Originated during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, model calligraphy had gradually become thriving since the Song Dynasty all the way to the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty models of calligraphy collected in Hangzhou Confucius Temple were all engraved by masters with excellent workmanship. The models of calligraphy incorporate the strong points of different calligraphic schools in past dynasties, which make us immersed in the world of authentic calligraphic works.
