The most representative one is "Carving Stones in Yishan", which was the first stone carving of Qin Shihuang's east tour. The Stone Carving in Yishan is 218 cm high and 84 cm wide. Also known as Yuanmo Yishan Qin Zhuan Monument. Originally located in the lobby of the county government in Zouxian County, it was moved into the tribute gate of the Meng Temple in the early years of the Republic of China, and moved into the Qi Temple in 1973 for preservation, and now it is in zoucheng museum.
"Historical Records of the First Qin Emperor" says: "In the twenty-eighth year, the emperor began to travel eastward to counties and mount Zouyi. Set up a stone, discuss with Confucian scholars in Lu, carve a stone to praise Qin De, and discuss the matter of closing the Zen and offering sacrifices to mountains and rivers. " However, there is no record of the original text of Yi Mountain Carving Stone in Historical Records. From the linguistic point of view, the carved stone text inherits the four-character sentence pattern of the Book of Songs, but takes three sentences as a rhyme. Among the stone carvings of Qin Shihuang, except "Langya Stone Carving", the other six are all three sentences and one rhyme, which is the first of Qin literature. Put in order's words in Yi Mountain Engraving Stone are concise and catchy to read. Qin stone inscriptions can be called the ancestor of inscriptions, and later inscriptions are all left by them. Qin Ershi's imperial edicts were engraved everywhere after the stone was carved by Qin Shihuang, and the characters were all the same. However, there are only residual characters in Mount Taishan Engraving Stone and Langya Engraving Stone, and the full text preserved in Yishan Engraving Stone is basically consistent with the relevant records of Qin Ershi in Historical Records, thus providing a basis for completing other stone engraving characters. At the same time, Qin Ershi's imperial edict is the only physical relic to study the imperial edict system in Qin Dynasty, which has high historical value.
the original stone of Yishan Stone Carving has been destroyed. Carved Stone in Yishan, a copy of which is handed down today, is written by people in the Tang and Song Dynasties, so it has laid a brand of the times in calligraphy style. In the Five Dynasties, Xu Xuan in the Southern Tang Dynasty had a copy of "Engraving Stone on Yishan Mountain", and in the fourth year of Chunhua in the Northern Song Dynasty (993), Zheng Wenbao re-engraved the stone in Chang 'an Guozi School according to Xu Xuan's copy, and later it was repeatedly engraved. Zheng Wenbao's copy of "Yishan Monument" exists in the forest of steles in Xi 'an. The original inscription of Qin Shihuang was integrated with Qin Ershi's imperial edict, and later it was engraved with Zheng Wenbao's postscript. Regarding the style of calligraphy, Liu Xizai's "A Brief Introduction to Arts and Books" in Qing Dynasty said: "Qin Zhuan is as simple as" Yi Mountain "and" Langya Taiwan ".
The original text of "Carving Stones in Yishan":
When the emperor founded the country, Wei Chu was in the past. Heirs are called kings and crusade against chaos. Power moves four poles, and Wuyi is straight. Rong Chen was given a letter, which was not long after. It takes six years to destroy six violent forces. Recommend a high number, and filial piety is obvious.
it's a special benefit to contribute to your success. Pro-tour the distance, climb the mountain. A group of ministers follows, and they think long. Remembering the troubled times and dividing the country into civil countries. To argue with each other, work hard every day. Bleeding in the wild, since Taigu.
there are countless people in the world, reaching five emperors. Can't forbid it, it's the emperor today. A world, soldiers no longer rise. Disasters are eliminated, and the first step is to settle down. Lize is long-lasting, and the ministers recite it. Carve this happy stone to serve as a broker.
the emperor said, "when the stone is carved, the emperor will do it. Today's attack on the number and the inscription on the stone are not called, and the first emperor was long ago. If the heir does it, it is not called success. "
The Prime Minister's minister Si, the minister went to illness, and the minister De Mei, the ancient adviser, said, "I would like to have an engraved imperial edict, because I can understand it. I don't want to die. "
say, "yes."
Qin Shihuang's inscription
The first emperor established a country, and before that, he inherited the throne of a vassal state. He conquered small countries that were divided into chaos, which shocked the world. It was a just unified war. The generals obeyed his orders, and it didn't take long for them to eliminate the brutal separatist regime of the six governors. In the twenty-sixth year of Qin Shihuang, he was honored as the "emperor", which clearly showed that he inherited the rule of law from his ancestors. The great cause of reunification has been completed, so Qin Shihuang made a personal tour of all parts of the country. When he climbed Yishan, all the ministers who followed him were full of thoughts and feelings. Looking back on the turbulent times, due to the division of the country and the separation of the princes, the war in the world was triggered. Attacks and struggles have never stopped, and people have been bleeding everywhere. This situation has started since ancient times. I don't know how many years have passed, but even wise kings like the Five Emperors could not stop the war. Now that Qin Shihuang has unified the world, wars will no longer happen, disasters will be completely eliminated, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and their interests and grace will be passed on forever. For the great cause of the emperor's reunification of the country, the ministers can only state a rough outline and carve it on exquisite stones as a permanent discipline of the country.
Qin Ershi's imperial edict
The emperor (Qin Ershi) said, "The stone inscriptions everywhere were carved by the first emperor. Today, I have inherited the title of emperor, but the stone inscriptions in various places are not called' the first emperor' (only called' the emperor'). In the future, when future generations see these stone carvings, they will think that they were not carved by the first emperor but by their heirs, so they will not be able to show the great achievements of the first emperor. "
Li Si, the left prime minister, Feng Quji, the right prime minister, and De, the minister of the imperial history, risked their lives to play: "I asked that this imperial edict of the emperor (Qin Ershi) be completely engraved behind the stone carvings of the first emperors in various places, so that later generations will understand the owner of the golden stone carvings. I am waiting for the death request. "
