Daci’en Temple Pagoda (detail): Preface to Sagely Teachings
Rubbing
雁塔聖教序 褚遂良
中國
全稱《大唐三藏聖教序》，又稱《慈恩寺聖教序》。立碑於長安（今陝西西安）慈恩寺大雁塔下，碑高191公分，寬106公分，日本東京國立博物館藏其拓本。褚遂良書，萬文韶刻，唐太宗（626～649在位）撰文，表彰玄奘大師至印度取經，歷十七年，回長安後翻譯佛經之功績。碑體與字跡保存完好，計二十一行，行四十二字，額題「大唐三藏聖教之序」。
此碑遒勁雅麗，用筆流利飛動，方圓兼施，融隸入楷，端雅古樸；線條瘦勁挺拔，轉折曲盡其妙；結體寬綽雅逸，神韻畢現，為書林精品。是褚遂良晚年代表作，也是唐代（618～907）碑刻楷書中最著名者。
褚遂良字登善，為初唐（618～712）四大家之一。書法博採虞世南、歐陽詢、王羲之等諸名家之長，別樹一幟，對後世影響深遠。
參考釋文：無形潛寒暑以化／物是以窺天鑒地／庸愚皆識其端明／陰洞陽賢哲罕窮
