Anything with irregularities, such as metal, stone, wood, pottery, earthenware, and roof tiles, can be rubbed. Rubbings of letters on stone monuments and beautiful carvings and patterns on crafts can be appreciated as simple, elegant black and white works of art. In addition, It is also important as a reproduction method like photography in archaeological or art history research. Photographs can capture the entire large object under study, but not necessarily in its actual size. However, the rubbing can simply be floated in the same size as always, and is rather valuable for its primitiveness. Subtle parts such as strokes and lines of characters cannot be captured by photography, but rubbing is an indispensable resource and method in epigraphy, which mainly studies characters and sentences, such as epitaphs and species names.
