"Diamond Sutra" says that the diagram |Engraved in the ninth year of Xiantong (868). Collection of the National Library, UK.
Life is full of all kinds of small blessings, and recently I have enjoyed it very much: a small knowledge point that has been thrown in the corner for many years, at a certain moment by chance, suddenly connected with another knowledge point that seems to be impossible to beat, and the feeling of being able to understand it is very happy. Ten years ago, I learned to use pr when I was a father, because I had to cut a period of ** for the baby every month (insisted on it until now), and I began to pay attention to the fonts in the font, and I liked calligraphy the most, like Qing carving, Ming carving, Kangxi dictionary, and there was also a "Yifeng carved scripture", which was solemn and legal, but the font was not complete, and only some Chinese characters were supported, so although I liked it, I rarely used it - this knowledge point was thrown aside, and I also read it as "Fengyi". I happened to listen to Jiang Xun talk about the "Diamond Sutra" and knew that Yifeng wrote the Diamond Sutra, and the font is also more than 5,000 words of the Diamond Sutra, and Yifeng is the year name of Tang Gaozong, and the scripture writing style is still a special category in calligraphy. The feeling of suddenly connecting horizontally in the knowledge system is really wonderful!

On May 26, the 26th year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty (June 22, 1900 in the Gregorian calendar), Wang Yuanji, a Taoist priest of the lower temple of Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, Gansu Province, found an abandoned ear cave in the Yongdao of Cave 16 of Mogao Grottoes, which was filled with more than 50,000 pieces of Buddhist scriptures, social documents, embroidery, silk paintings, and ritual utensils from the fourth to eleventh centuries AD. This discovery by Wang Daoshi made the Dunhuang documents, together with the oracle bones of Yinxu, the Han and Jin Dynasty slips, and the archives of the Forbidden City, listed as the four major academic discoveries in modern China.
Among these discoveries of Wang Daoist are the "Diamond Sutra" in the sixth year of Xiantong and the first year of Yifeng. The "Yifeng Edition" is now in the National Atlas, and the "Xiantong Edition" is in the British "National Map", and the Xiantong Edition is more precious and is the earliest known engraving print in the world.
