in the 2th year of Jiaqing's stone carving on Mount Tai (1815), Yin Jiang Yinpei, an old man from Tai 'an, led Chai Langao from Tongyi to find 2 pieces of residual stones with 1 characters left in the Jade Girl Pool on the top of the mountain, so he embedded the residual stone in the wall of Dongyue Temple in Daiding. In the 12th year of Daoguang reign in Qing Dynasty (1832), the wall of Dongyue Temple collapsed. Xu Zonggan, a magistrate of Tai 'an County, was "anxious to find the residual stone in the rubble", and told Taoist Liu Chuanye to move the residual stone to the foot of the mountain and embed it in the wall of Daimiao Monument, and wrote a postscript about it. In the sixteenth year of Guangxu (189), the stone was stolen, and the county magistrate Mao Dasuo took the stone under the North Gate Bridge on the 1th, and then placed it in the courtyard of Daimiao Temple. In the second year of Xuantong (191), Yu Qinglan, a magistrate of a county, built a stone house in the Yongting Pavilion around Daimiao to prevent the carved stone from being eroded by wind and rain, and embedded the carved stone of Qin Taishan, Xu Zonggan's postscript and his own preface ***3 stone in the stone house, surrounded by an iron fence for protection. In 1928, he moved to the east throne of Daimiao, built a portal monument niche, and built the above three stones in it. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the front of the monument was protected by glass.
There are many rubbings carved on Mount Tai in Qin Dynasty. There are two existing rubbings, the Ming rubbings with 29 characters carved by Nie Jianguang in Qing Dynasty and the old rubbings with 29 characters carved by Xu Zonggan, both of which are displayed in Daimiao Monument Gallery. In 1987, the Tai 'an Museum copied the full text of the carved stone of Qin Dynasty and stood in the back bedroom of Dai Temple.
The stone carving in Mount Qin has important artistic value and historical value. Calligraphy is rigorous and vigorous, stable and peaceful; The glyph is just and symmetrical, slender and graceful; The lines are round and healthy like iron, and the rounder the square; The structure is symmetrical, horizontal and vertical, clumsy outside and clever inside, and the density is appropriate. Yuan Hejing praised: "The fist is as straight as a hairpin, and the curved iron is beautiful and strange. The Millennium is thin and strong, and it is even more stupid to look back at the fat families. " "Dai Shi" said: "Although Qin has no Tao, his writing and calligraphy are unparalleled." Lu Xun thought that the carved stone on Mount Tai in Qin was "qualitative and powerful, and it was actually from the inscriptions in Han and Jin Dynasties". At the moment, it is a first-class cultural relic collection.
The Stone Carving on Mount Tai is a 29-character rubbings, and a 1-character rubbings are more common. The rubbings handed down from ancient times should be based on the Song rubbings collected by the Ming Dynasty in Wuxi Anguo, with a total of 165 characters. This collection was purchased from the late Cuixuan on July 1st, the 15th year of Showa (194) by Buzhe Nakamura (1866-1943). The other one, with 53 words, has also been copied in Japan, Shanghai Art Garden Zhenshang Society, Japanese Bookstore, and Erxuan Society's Famous Books Series. Among the Qin stone carvings, only this one is true with Langya Terrace Stone Carving, and the others are imitated by later generations.
Author's brief introduction
Qin Xiang Lisi (? -28 BC), can be called the first recorded calligrapher in the history of Chinese calligraphy. The calligraphy style of Mount Tai Carving Stone is the standard font after the unification of Qin Dynasty, Xiao Zhuan. Its structural features, directly inherited the characteristics of Shi Guwen, are more simplified and square than Shi Guwen, and are rectangular, with smooth lines and even density, giving people a dignified and steady feeling. Zhang Huaijin in Tang Dynasty praised Li Si's Xiao Zhuan: "Painting is like stone, words are flying", "Bones are rich and even, and Fiona Fang is wonderful".
Yishan stone carving is also called 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. The carved stone is vertical and rectangular, with water rock and stone, and lettering on all sides. The monument is 1.9 meters high and .48 meters wide, and it is the same in all directions. The front and left sides are engraved with words praising Qin Shihuang's achievements, and the back is engraved with Qin Ershi's letters. Small seal script, 5 lines on each side, ***222 words: "The emperor founded the country, but in the past, the heir was called king. Crushing against chaos and rebellion, threatening the four poles, and being upright in martial arts. Rong Chen was given a letter, and after a short time, he destroyed six violent forces. Twenty-six years, the recommendation is high, and filial piety is obvious. Not only to offer success, but also to offer special benefits and visit distant places. Climbing on Yishan, the ministers follow, and the thoughts are long. Remembering the troubled times, dividing the country into civil countries in order to argue. Work hard every day, and bleed in the wild. Since Taigu, there are countless people in the world, and he and the five emperors can't forbid it. This is the emperor, a world. No more soldiers, no more disasters. The first step is to settle down, and the benefit is long. The ministers recited the outline and carved this music stone to serve as a broker. " "The emperor said,' The stone inscription did what the first emperor did, and the stone inscription was not called the first emperor. It is also a long time ago, and if the heirs do it, it is not called success. The prime minister's minister, Si, and his minister, De Mei, died, saying,' Please have an engraved imperial edict, because the stone inscription is clear.' I don't want to die. The system said: "can'. "The inscription has destroyed 37 words today, with 185 words remaining. On the left side, there are lines of books and periodicals engraved with postscript to describe the process of engraving. The Historical Records of the First Qin Emperor contains: "In the 28th year of the first emperor (the first 219 years), he traveled eastward to the county and went up to Zouyi Mountain to discuss with the Confucian scholars in Shandong about carving stones, praising Qin De, and offering sacrifices to mountains and rivers". The original Qin Yishan seal tablet stood in the Shumen of Yishan. The Tang Dynasty's "Feng Yan Wen Jian Ji" said: This monument was later pushed down by the Northern Wei Emperor Tai Wu when he climbed Mount Yi. However, because Li Si's seal script is famous far and wide, although the monument has fallen, there are still an endless stream of literati and dignitaries who come to copy and expand. Because the local officials and people are often exhausted and sent to greet them, they gather under the monument and burn it, which can't be copied from now on. In the Tang Dynasty, some people lamented the destruction of the Qin tablet, so they carved the rubbings that had been circulated in the world on the jujube board. Therefore, there is a sentence in Du Fu's "Song of Li Chao's Eight Points of Xiaozhuan" that "the monument of Yi Mountain is burned by wildfire, and the jujube wood is carved fat and distorted". In the fourth year of Chunhua in the Song Dynasty (993), Zheng Wenbao re-engraved Xu Xuan's copy of the Southern Tang Dynasty in Chang 'an (now preserved in the forest of steles in Xi 'an), which was called Chang 'an Ben. Since then, there have been as many as 9 kinds of reprints in China. In the twenty-ninth year from Yuan Dynasty to Yuan Dynasty (1292), the seal engraving "Carving Stone on Yishan Mountain" and "Zou County Records and Historic Sites Volume" are recorded in great detail: "In the eighth year of Song Yuanyou (193), Zou Ling Zhang Wenzhong was awarded the Lisi small seal from Wang Jun in Beihai, and carved the hall and the Yintang, which lasted for twenty-nine years (1299)
The original stone was destroyed by Cao Cao when he climbed the mountain, but it left an inscription. What we see today is a copy of Xu Xuan in the Southern Tang Dynasty in the Five Dynasties, which was carved by the Song Dynasty people and is now hidden in the forest of steles in Xi 'an. However, compared with Langxie and Mount Tai, it is still inevitable that there is a "beautiful dress", not to mention the others. However, there are very few copies left in the Qin Dynasty, and even so, they can't be easily discarded. The strokes are slightly thin and even, and round pens are used, and the fonts are square, showing a round and beautiful style.
The stone carved on Yishan was carved by Li Sishu in the 28th year of Qin Shihuang (first 219).
It was 218cm high and 84cm wide.
Due to the age and the war, the original stone was burned by wildfire. This stone was carved by Zheng Wenbao according to the original stone rubbings in the fourth year of Chunhua, Zhao Guangyi, Song Taizong (AD 993), with Zheng Wenbao's inscription on the tablet. There are many imitations of the Stone Carved in Yishan, and this stone is the best one.
