Temple Rubbings: An Unusual Opportunity
Home Based Business Opportunities:
This is a business where a person with no art talent can produce art!Temple or gravestone rubbing is believed to have originated with the ancient (300 BC) Chinese. It was an efficient method of communicating the “written word” and a forerunner to the printing press.
The Emperors had their laws, slogans and messages carved in stone (that’s easy for an Emperor to do) then transformed to parchment by rubbing with colored wax or other permanent dye material. Centuries later, pictures (stone and metal reliefs) were carved expressly for this purpose and today several Asian countries feature large temple rubbings commonly called batiks, which is technically a misnomer.
