It is reported that the province has successfully completed the digital collection of over 8000 pages of various inscriptions and rubbings, and the "Inscription and Rubbings Image Database" has basically taken shape. This work involves inscriptions covering various parts of the province, spanning from the Jin Dynasty to the Republic of China, providing first-hand materials for studying local political history, cultural customs, and other aspects of Yunnan. It is understood that the rubbings on the inscriptions in the collection of Yunnan Provincial Library cover various aspects of Yunnan's social, economic, and cultural development, such as water conservancy construction, education, historical figures, religion, and historical events. Due to uncontrollable factors such as urbanization and erosion over time, the protection of rare original monuments is particularly urgent. Yan Yanping, Director of the History and Literature Department of Yunnan Provincial Library, introduced that in order to protect rare stone inscriptions scattered throughout the province, protection personnel have been conducting stone inscription rubbings and collecting and organizing rubbings throughout the province for many years. Professional personnel have also been organized to digitize the rubbings, scan high-precision images, and perform metadata indexing.
