From the Qing Dynasty to the late qing dynasty, traditional scholarship has undergone a transformation. Huang Yongnian once pointed out that the academic abilities required of first-class scholars at that time included "understanding the inscription rubbing, that is, the study of inscriptions, and being able to write inscriptions", and mr. Huang Yongnian was able to understand the history of literature, inscriptions and calligraphy seal carvings. He also links the study of epigraphy with the collection of rubbings with the study of inscription history and literary history.
In 1975, mr. Li purchased the "Silent Illumination Yuanming Great Zen Master Bifeng Jin Gong Zhi LiTa Ming" in Xi'an, which was cut into half a page, eight lines, twelve characters, a total of twelve open copies. Judging from the ink color of the paper and the shearing form, it is not known that the original stone is expanded before Guangxu. Jin Bifeng should be the miraculous monk Jin Bifeng in the "Popular Interpretation of the Three Treasures of the Eunuchs of the Three Treasures" written by Ming Luo Maodeng and engraved by Wanli, and Zheng He was able to successfully go to the West under his magical care.
Diao Zun epitaph Qing Tuoben
Does this monk really have someone? What was it? Mr. Lu Xun, the author of the "Outline of the History of the Chinese Novel", the pioneering work of the study of the history of the Chinese novel, did not pay attention to it. In 1982, the Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House published "Western Records", and the pointers Lu Shulan and Zhu Shaohua still followed the theory and made no progress.
Epitaph of Princess Xianli Vijaya
With his knowledge of the catalogue, he knew that this had to be found in Buddhist literature. Following Mr. Chen Yuan's "Records of the Doubtful Chronicles of the Shi Dynasty", I found Song Lian's "Collection of Song Scholars", which included the "Silent Illumination Yuanming Great Zen Master Bifeng Jin GongShi LiTa Ming", but the careful examination of the Tuoben was quite successful than that contained in the "Collection of Song Scholars". Mr. Li used this and other materials to carefully examine and learn the general situation of Jin Bifeng's real life and provenance, and wrote and published the "The True Face of Jin Bifeng in the Western Chronicle" ("Chinese Classics and Culture Series", Vol. II, 1995), supplementing and improving the shortcomings of the former sages of the time.
Because of his research on inscriptions and the collection of rubbings, he was very close to the sages of the master's degree, such as Xie Guozhen, Qi Gong, Zhou Shaoliang, Lu Gong, Ma Ziyun, Shi Anchang, etc., and wrote back letters to discuss the inscriptions. It can be seen from the existing various inscriptions that this generation not only has exchanges, but also has exchanges, and discussions, and writes inscriptions; its content examines historical facts and skills, and the text is handsome and exquisite, and it highlights talent and learning, which adds a lot of color to the expansion of the book, and is also passed down as a good story by the history of collection.
In 1974, Mr. Chen Zeqin inscribed the Tang "Zhang Weiyue Stele" collected by Mr. Huang: "Zhang Weiyue Stele, Shaanxi Jinshi Zhi quoted Mao Fengzhi's "Guanzhong Jinshi Script Cunyi Kao" to record its text, in addition to no longer found in other works, and the Tuoben is rare.
Reading the ancestors of the book Houyun, this stele was unearthed in Gaoling when it was light, and Mao Shi saw the full text, and did not know when it was interrupted and cut off. Jia Yin zhengyue, Yongnian with this to expand the house, and with the evidence written to see, through the proof of the stele cut text is missing from the "Shaanxi Jinshi Zhi", all seem to exist, began to know that what Mao saw is not the full text, read the old yunyun, but also lack of fine review.
It is very difficult to audit the ancients. Guanzhong Sui and Tang ancient capitals, Ao District Chi County, Chonglong Yaoye, Hongnong Longxi, two generations of stone carvings are many, so Ye Yuandu has the phrase "want to visit the Tang Monument when entering Qin".
However, the years have been far away, and there have been many deaths, and after Ou and Zhao have been gone, they have been in Bi and Mao; although they have sought to add to the gaps, there are records on behalf of them, and they have made great achievements, but they can investigate the past, prove the history with history, and supplement history with stones, and there are not many people in the world.
That is, as stated in the Weiyue inscription, Guo Ziyi was pre-emptively determined xianyang, chased after the evil of Yuanyuan and Li Guangbi to strangle the dangers of Heyang, made Qin Huai's Kou battles, made remarkable achievements in battle, was given the favor of the portrait of tin coupons, and on the day of the bed, the royal driver was knotted; after falling, the zhonggui Yingmen. Although the words are overflowing, the honor cannot be lost. The old and new "Book of Tang" have no deeds. The end of the stele survived. It is not for nothing to study the B part of the stele, so as to search for historical materials.
More than fifty years after the date of the writing of the "Shaanxi Jinshi Zhi", since the founding of the People's Republic of China, all kinds of wastes have flourished, the land does not love treasure, and the Sui and Tang dynasty stone carvings in the suburbs of Xi'an and the attached Guo have been unearthed from time to time, and no bibliography cannot be passed on forever; those who are involved in the historical materials of the two dynasties are especially waiting to be collected and referenced. Mr. Li Zichun of Wenhua County tried to engage in Yusi, but after the manuscript was written, a great loss was lost in the literature of our province.
Yongnian was a guest in Chang'an, Jin Shi entertained himself, and there were inscriptions of the Tang Dynasty, paying special attention to the extensive search, the Tibetans were very rich, and the erudite and strong memorization, outstanding historical knowledge, aspiring to write, hooking the sinking and expounding, making up for the lack of arrest of the old and new "Book of Tang"; In addition to the instructions, do not speculate, because in this regard, do not see the branches in the same way. Ankang Chen Zeqin was in shilou's room, when Jia Yin was in February Shuo. ”
Huang Yongnian wrote a mimeograph of the lecture notes of "Epigraphy"
Mr. Chen studied at Yenching University in his early years, and Stuart Leiden invited him to dinner, and later graduated from northwest united universities, specializing in calligraphy and seal engraving and inscription identification. In his later years, he studied Han Li, liked to use chickens, wrote books freely, wrote quickly, and had a unique style. He has a lot of contacts with mr. and is the initiator of Xi'an Zhongnan Printing Society.
