Dunhuang magistrate Pei Cenji Han stele extension.

At the Guardian Autumn Auction in China in 2006, a Zhu Tuoben "Han Peicen Ji Gong Bei" written and inscribed by Mr. Wu Muyao was sold for 1 1000 yuan. Recently, I saw the rubbings of this monument in Mr. Yang's office in our city. It is an old collection of Zhao, and it is also a feather Ji Guang, which is very precious. The rubbings are 103cm long and 57cm wide, which are "light ink" of rubbings. Although the ink color is light, it does not hinder the identification of the inscription. In the blank space on the right, the inscription reads: "When Ji Wenda defended Urumqi, he also said that this monument was the best in the Han Dynasty and was buried in a desolate corner, so it was possible to leave traces. Yu Meng came to Zhang (home) to urge him to hire a camel, and presented ten rubbings to China artists to ride, so as to make Zhang's trip boring. I met in autumn. " Unfortunately, there is no signature and the seal is vague, so it is difficult to see who wrote the title. There are several other collections of seals on the rubbings, which can be identified as "the seal of Zhao's collection of Luyang stone books" and "the appreciation of Xiao San". The full name of the monument is "Emperor Gaozu's Dunhuang satrap Pei Cenji's public monument", and the former site of the monument is Shizizi in the west of Barkun, Xinjiang. The monument is 142 cm high and 59.4 cm wide. Standing like a solitary bamboo shoot, it looks like a stone man, hence its name. There are six lines of Han Li engraved on the tablet, each line is 10, and the handwriting is clear. Font to official seal, round, vigorous Gu Zhuo, magnificent. The inscription records the event that Pei Cen, the magistrate of Dunhuang, led his troops to defeat the Huns Huyan King in the second year of Yonghe in the Eastern Han Dynasty (137). This battle was not recorded in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, so it attracted the attention of experts and scholars and was praised as the treasure of the Han tablet. The discovery and experience of this monument is also legendary. In the seventh year of Yongzheng in Qing Dynasty (1729), Yue Zhongqi, a general of Ningyuan, accidentally discovered this monument while stationed in Barkol, so he moved to the general's office and then moved to the Guandi Temple outside Barkol to build a pavilion for protection. Because of the exquisite calligraphy of the inscription, many soldiers guarding the border rushed to print it after returning home. Legend has it that a Hunan-registered petty officer sailed through Dongting when he returned to China. The wind and waves were very strong and the ship fell into the water. Strangely, all the people who carried the rubbings survived, and all the people who didn't were killed. Since then, the legend about this monument has become more and more fascinating. There is a sentence in Ji Xiaolan's Notes on Yuewei Caotang ... Pei Cen broke the Huyan King Monument, which is located in Haizi, Shili, west of the city. No different from others. However, there is a cold dragon living in the sea of clouds, and there is no night cannon in the city. If the night cannon smells, the cold dragon vibrates and it is extremely cold, so it can't be pushed. Although absurd, this monument was originally built by the lake. According to local legend, it has the power to shock Zhenhai, which can not only subdue lake monsters, but also avoid snowstorms, so it is also called Zhenhai Monument. 193 1 year, Ma Zhongying, cousin of Ma Bufang, Qinghai, fled to Xinjiang and attacked barkun. The soldiers guarding the city were afraid that Guandi Temple would become an enemy siege fortress, and when the temple house was burned down, the monument was burned and cracked. Afterwards, Zhang Junyong, director of the County People's Education Museum, bound the cracked stone tablet with hemp skin soaked in glue and transported it to Xiangu Temple for preservation. Unfortunately, during the drought that year, the local villagers heard that the "Zhenhai Monument" was demolished, so they forcibly moved the monument back to its original place, but it cracked on the way. In 1950s, the monument was transported to Urumqi Museum for collection.
