Ningchan Temple: Stele (detail)
Rubbing
凝禪寺碑
中國
全稱《凝禪寺三級浮圖碑》。立碑於元氏縣（今河北元氏）凝禪寺故址。碑分兩截刻，上截三十四行，行三十五字；下截刻題名十三列，列三十九行。碑額篆書陽文「凝禪寺三級浮圖之碑頌」。此碑內容記載佛弟子趙融居士率鄉賢道俗二千餘人造三級浮圖（佛塔）凝禪寺碑記，以傳後世之事蹟。
此碑楷字結體略長，點畫多見伸出，再加上用筆厚重，整體呈現了緊峭雄強的風格。這一類雄強書風，常見於當時的碑刻墓誌，也成為後世「魏碑」體的重要來源之一。然而，就其結構精謹而不讓於唐楷者，則較少見。此碑不僅以氣勢雄強取勝，更以結字的精善卓出他作。
參考釋文：僉言□昔纖容之功／尚詠於金篇片瓦之／施猶頌於遺陵況居／士融建斯景福豈得
