A rubbing is the impression of the graphics, inscriptions or patterns of
ancient bronzeware or stone tablets on a sheet of rice paper, which enables
reproduction of the original pictorial and text content. The extraordinary form
and force of expression of traditional rubbings have become a distinct form of
Chinese art. When this form is applied to pictograms, the powerful contrast
between black and white and the vivid beauty of the fluid shapes perfectly
represent the passion and dynamism of the sports.
