In the twelfth month of winter, when I am old and ugly, I first entered politics and met Lu Sou. I heard about the stone drum and now I see it, the words are so gloomy that the snake moves away. When I look closely, I trace the belly with my fingers at the beginning, and when I want to read, I feel like I have a pair of pincers in my mouth. It’s too late for Mr. Han to rejoice in his past life, but my current situation is a hundred years later. Forcibly searching for sideways and pushing some paintings, sometimes one, two or eighty-nine are found. My chariot attacks the horses as well, and the fish are the willows that stick through their heads. The ancient utensils are scattered all over the place, and the stars are scattered all over the place. The scars and calluses are half hidden, and the heel and elbow can still be distinguished from the bend of the heel. The moon is missing and the moon is hidden in the clouds and mist, and the beautiful harvest is beautiful and the weeds are shining. Drifting through hundreds of battles, there is no chance of survival. Who can be friends for thousands of years of independence? He pursues Xuanjie and his ministers at the top, and bows to Bingsi and bows to him at the bottom. Recalling Zhou Xuan's song "Hongyan" in the past, the history of Zhou Dynasty turned into a tadpole at that time. People who are tired of chaos think of saints and sages, and those who want to rejuvenate the world are the living elders. In the east, Xu captured Kan and tigers, and in the north, dogs and soldiers were lurking. Xiangxu mixed tributes to wolves and deer, and Fang Zhaolianpanpan gave Guiyou. So I thought about the general because of the drum, why didn't I bother Meng Shou for the test? Who can compose a hymn better than "Song Gao"? Even if his service is great, he will not be arrogant about it. Even if his civil and military skills are not far behind, he will still be loyal. If you want to find the year, there is no A or B. How can there be a name to remember such and such. Since the decline of Zhou Dynasty, the seven kingdoms have been replaced, and the people of Qin have nine. In addition to poems and books, he recited laws and regulations, and threw away the beans and whips. At that time, who could assist Zulong and go up to Mr. Cai to lead the yellow dog? Climbing mountains and carving stones to praise heroes and heroes, the latter cannot succeed the previous ones. It is said that the emperor visited the four kingdoms, burned, raped and rescued the head of Guizhou. Since the Six Classics have been turned to dust, this drum should also be struck and cut into pieces. It is said that Jiuding fell to Si, and he wanted to make thousands of people sink into the water to get it. The tyrant indulges in lust and depletes manpower, but the righteousness of divine things does not stain the Qin. Where can I avoid the stone drum at this time? There is no way for the ghosts to guard it. The rise and fall of things are endless, and the wealth and fame of one day are immortal. Think carefully about physics, sit down and sigh, life is as peaceful as your life. In the early Tang Dynasty, ten drum-shaped stones were unearthed in Sanweiyuan, Baoji City, Shaanxi Province. On them were engraved with ten four-character poems describing the grand occasion of hunting in Zhuan script. Because the stone is in the shape of a drum, the stone inscriptions are called Shigu inscriptions; and because the main content of the inscriptions is to describe hunting events of the aristocratic class, the stone drums are also called "Hunting Jie" or Qiyang stone drums. However, many of the inscriptions on the stones have been lost. In one stone, not a single word has survived. Among the visible words are "My chariot is attacking, and my horse is fighting." "My chariot is good, and my horse is fighting. A gentleman hunts with his fellows, and hunts with his fellows." Members travel. The elk speeds up, a gentleman’s request” and so on. "On that day, the hunting in Qiyang was red, and the big books were profound and equipped with chariots to attack. The Qi literati were addicted to the combination of the three heavens, and the surplus for several days was lost to the nine tripods." (Wang Ke's poem) The stone drum inscriptions are not only important materials for the study of ancient characters, but also a treasure of the art of calligraphy. Many predecessors wrote poems praising it, such as Du Fu, Wei Yingwu and Han Yu in the Tang Dynasty, Su Shi, Su Che and Mei Yaochen in the Song Dynasty, Huang Hui and Guo Tianzhong in the Ming Dynasty, Wang Shizhen and Wang Ke in the Qing Dynasty, etc. Among them, the poems of Han Yu and Su Shi are the most famous. , known as "Stone Drum Song" before and after. Both Han Yu and Su Shi's "Song of the Stone Drum" are seven-character ancient poems. Although the two poets are hundreds of years apart, they both highly affirm the value of the literature, history, philology and calligraphy of the Stone Drum Poems. Han Yu praised the paper version (i.e. rubbings) of Zhang Sheng (Zhang Ji, some say Zhang Che) "Shiguwen". Although the strokes of the Shiguwen were inevitably damaged due to the passage of time, "a quick sword cuts off and a dragon grows", just like a quick sword. The living dragons and crocodiles are still vivid and impressive after being cut into pieces. The style of his calligraphy is graceful and varied, and the structure of calligraphy and painting is intricate and beautiful, either like "luan flying and phoenix flying" or "coral green tree", powerful, smooth and natural. There are two sentences: "The golden ropes and iron ropes lock the buttons, and the ancient tripod jumps over the water and the dragons fly." The first sentence is written with strokes that are just like the golden ropes and iron ropes. Reminds me of some magical stories. "The ancient tripod leaps into the water" comes from "Shui Jing Zhu". According to records, in the 42nd year of King Xian of Zhou Dynasty, Jiuding was destroyed in Surabaya. During the reign of the First Emperor of Qin, the cauldron was exposed in the water. The First Emperor ordered thousands of people to go into the water and tie it with ropes to pull it up. The ropes were bitten by dragon teeth and the treasure never came out. "Long Teng Shuo" comes from "Book of Jin·Biography of Tao Kan". According to records, Tao Kan was fishing in Leize and caught a shuttle in his net. Later, he hung the shuttle on the wall, and it turned into a red dragon and flew away in the thunder and lightning. These five sentences are rich in imagination, strange in words, rich in color, and wonderful and expressive. Han Yu's "Song of Stone Drums" was written for Zhang Sheng's paper version of "Song of Stone Drums", while Su Shi's "Song of Stone Drums" was written after he saw the stone drums in person. At that time, Su Shi was in charge of the Fengxiang Prefecture, and the stone drum existed in the Fengxiang Confucius Temple. "I heard from the old story about the stone drum that I saw it now. The characters are so dense that the snake is running away." The characters on the stone drum are flying in circles, but they are difficult to read. "I feel like I am gripping my mouth when I want to read them." "Juanjuan is hidden in the clouds and mist when the moon is missing, and the beautiful crops are shining brightly." Although the stone drum text is beautiful, it is hidden in the clouds and mist like the missing moon, making it difficult to see clearly; the words are eroded, just like the golden crops in the field are bare and the weeds are lush. There are too few words that I can recognize.
Despite this, "The upper level pursues Xuanjie and the prime minister is obedient, and the lower level is the same as the scorpion." The stone drum text has ancient meanings and can speak to the people of Cangjie's era; Si (Li Si, Prime Minister of Qin, the founder of Xiaozhuan) played an important role in the development of writing. "Who can compose a song better than "Song Gao"? "壵嵝"!" The poet sighed: Who can write a eulogy comparable to "Song Gao"? The Stone Drum Inscriptions are the same as the "壣嵝stele" written by Xia Yu when he was controlling floods. They are both immortal works. Su Shi inherited the meaning of Han Yu's poetry and also affirmed the value of Shiguwen. In fact, the "壣嵝stele" does not exist, so Kang Youwei called the stone drum inscriptions "the first cultural relic in China". "I remember hunting in Qiyang, and I came to Shigu Mountain. Han Su is underground now, and the stars are still in the world." This is a poem in "Shigu Mountain" by Wang Shizhen, a poet of the Qing Dynasty. Han Yu, Su Shi, etc. who once wrote "Song of Stone Drums" have all left us long ago, but the stone inscriptions remain in the world like shining stars. "If you don't see the stone drum of Qiyang, the characters have been lost, but it has been cherished by people for thousands of years." (Liu Ji's poem) In 1914, Wu Mi, who was in Beijing at the time, went to the Imperial College to pay homage to the stone drum, and also wrote a poem "Shigu" "Song" "Several generations have sung for Shigu, before Changli and Houdongpo. The song became a roar and rode on the skip, and the famous Shigu passed down without grinding. The article is full of spirit, and the pen is as bright as the rafters." I have passed through the ancient times, and I have to meet again. The ancient colors are mottled, and the sonorous sound of the bell is hard to understand. "Thousands of years." Facing the stone drum that is "sand-covered, sun-drenched, wind-and-rainy, dirty, withered, and the handwriting muddy", thinking of the situation of many national treasures living abroad, the poet couldn't help but sigh: "Nowadays, Confucianism and Taoism are declining day by day, and Taixue is in decline. The people are sparse. The treasures of the ancestors are so loud that they only shine in the dark. "I wandered and touched the sky and sighed... I saw the Nestorian monument in Chang'an, and my blue eyes were filled with saliva for a long time. I also heard about the Confucius Temple. London is half Paris. It's hard to count the splendid chapters, but the lost sheep are still in danger. The ancients commented on Wu Shigu: "This is boundless and intertwined." The two works by Han and Su can be said to have different approaches but the same effect." Reading it today, I can still be moved by the poet Yin Yin's deep patriotism. For more than 2,700 years, Shigu has gone through ups and downs, experienced vicissitudes of life, and is full of legend. The first is the production age of the stone drum, which has been debated for a long time. Wei Yingwu's poem of the Tang Dynasty said, "Zhou Xuan hunted for the sun of Qiyang, and the stone carvings showed brilliant results." It was thought that the poems were carved by King Wen of Zhou and King Xuan of Zhou; Han Yu's poem said that King Xuan "searched for heroes in Qiyang" and "engraved the merits." It was made to tell the world, and it was carved out of stone to make a drum. "I always thought it was the drum of King Xuan of Zhou Dynasty. Song Zhengqiao thought it was a Qin drum. According to recent research, the stone drum inscriptions are carved stone inscriptions from the Qin Dynasty, but there are still theories such as Wen Gong, Mu Gong, Xiang Gong and Xiangong. Guo Moruo concluded that the stone drum was made in the eighth year of Qin Xianggong (774 BC), and this theory is generally recognized by the academic community. Secondly, after being unearthed, they moved around and had bad luck. Ma Heng, the former director of the Palace Museum, wrote in an article: "The stone drum has not been recorded before the Tang Dynasty. When it was unearthed, it was in the early Tang Dynasty, and its name was not widely known at first. Wei Yingwu and Han Yu wrote "Song of the Stone Drum" to commend it. , and then became famous in the world. "Han Yu "went to the west and chanted in the sky for six years", always holding the stone drum, lamenting the fate of the stone "being soaked in the rain and scorched by wild fire", and "the shepherd boy beating the fire to sharpen the horns of the ox", and suggested moving the Imperial Academy. , for students to learn from: "Recommend the Imperial Ancestral Temple to compare with the Gaoding, the price is more than a hundred times higher. If the Holy Grace allows you to study at the Imperial Ancestral Palace, students can learn from each other's explanations." But it was not adopted, so I can only "wow, I think it was wasted"! After Han Yu, Zheng Yuqing moved the stone drum to Fengxiang Mansion (later Fengxiang Confucius Temple). After the chaos of the Five Dynasties, Shigu was lost again. In the Song Dynasty, Sima Chi (the father of Sima Guang) used a car to place it under the porch of the mansion. One of the ten drums was missing. "It's pitiful that light is priceless, frost, grass, wind and sand have no pity. How many years has Yuanhe been living now, especially when he is homeless?" (Huang Hui's poem) After that, he searched for the mortar in many ways, and it has been chiseled into a mortar for use. The stone drum was lost and found. In Daguan, Fengxiang moved to the Imperial Academy in Tokyo (now Kaifeng), and later moved to the Xuanhe Hall. In order to prevent the handwriting from being damaged by rubbing, the stone carvings were filled with gold. When the Jin conquered the Song Dynasty, they transported the stone drums to Yanjing (today's Beijing) and removed the gold. From the Yuan Dynasty to the early Republic of China, the stone drum was kept in the Imperial College in Beijing. But it is covered with moss and buried in the grass. In the 1920s and 1930s, the Japanese invaded China aggressively, Northeast China fell, and North China was in emergency. The government of the Republic of China secretly transported the stone drums to Shanghai for preservation. After the July 7th Incident, Shanghai was in a tight situation and the Palace Museum moved it to Mount Emei, Sichuan. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the stone drums were transported back to Nanjing from Emei.
In 1948, when the antiquities returned to the north and were transported back to Beijing, they made a special detour to Baoji and parked them for three days so that the hometown folks could see the national treasure again. On the eve of the national liberation, Chiang Kai-shek fled to Taiwan, and Shigu was also included in the list of treasures transported away. However, due to time constraints and heavy stone drums, it was not completed in the end. After the founding of New China, the stone drum was listed as a national cultural relic. The original is now in the China History Museum.
