The tablet of Longzang Temple is an important tablet in Sui Dynasty. East of Dabei Pavilion in Zhengding, Hebei Province. Zhang Kaifu, the governor of Kaifu, joined the army and wrote an article, but did not write Dane's name. However, some writers and books are Zhang's.
The monument is 3. 15m high, 0.90m wide and 0.29m thick. Inscription in regular script with 30 lines and 50 words, 1500 words. The monument is a turtle. The plaque is semi-circular, embossed with six dragons intersecting, unique in shape and finely carved, with the quaint style of Panlong in Sui and Tang Dynasties. In regular script, the inscription "Hengzhou Cishi Egong advised to build a tablet of Longzang Temple for the country" is 15. On the left side of the monument is the title and name of Hengzhou county, which is divided into 5 sections and 30 lines, with different lines, and is also a regular script. According to the Zhengding County Records in the first year of Guangxu, "The tablet of Longzang Temple is in harmony with Yin, and Zhang writes a book. It was established in December of the sixth year of the Emperor's reign and is now in longxing temple. "
The monument was cast by Wang Xiaoxian, Duke of Hubei, the secretariat of Sui Heng Prefecture, and was ordered to persuade more than 10,000 people in the county to build the Longzang Temple. It is not only tall and solemn, but also the first in calligraphy art. It does not have the cold and frugal style of the Northern Wei Dynasty, nor does it completely lose the official intention of the Tang stele. It is not only simple in font structure, but also gives people a deep sense of Gu Zhuo, which has high calligraphy value. It is a rare artistic treasure that has a great influence on the evolution of calligraphy from Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties to Tang Dynasty.
The stone carvings in China sprouted in Shang Dynasty, and the names of the inscriptions were found in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, while the inscriptions with inscriptions were first found in the late Western Han Dynasty. By the time of Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling in the Eastern Han Dynasty, building tombs and planting trees became a common practice. As far as the calligraphy art of inscriptions is concerned, the development history of inscriptions in China can be divided into three stages, namely, Han stele, Wei stele and Tang stele. Han tablet is antique, Weibei is magnificent, and Tang tablet is beautiful and elegant. Sui stele is a transitional period from Wei Bei to Tang stele. Longzang Temple Monument is a masterpiece reflecting this change. Its font structure is simple and square. Although it is regular script, it still has the meaning of official script, which is a rare treasure.
Regarding this monument, Yang Shoujing's "Pingbei Ji" said: "If this monument is carefully played, it looks like Yongxing (Yu Shinan), like Yu (Chu Suiliang), and unlike Ou Yangxun."
The regular script of the tablet of Longzang Temple, also known as the tablet of longxing temple in Zhengding Prefecture, was established in Huang Kai in the sixth year of Sui Dynasty (AD 586). It not only records the creation of longxing temple, but also has high artistic value of calligraphy, which is a fine stone carving in the Sui Dynasty. Known as the "crown of Sui monuments", it is known as the "first monument of Sui Dynasty". There are 30 lines and 50 words in the tablet of Longzang Temple, about 65,438+0,500 words, five columns with negative inscriptions and three columns on the left. His calligraphy is thin, vigorous, broad, square and neat, with the beauty of coarseness and the deep interest of Gu Zhuo. Wrapped in "Art Boat and Twin Towers", it eulogizes: "black dragon Temple, with the right army, is in a fair and understanding, confusing and incredible ... not as far away as it is, but its body is purer."
The tablet of Longzang Temple, which inherited the legacy of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, was the first in the early Tang Dynasty and was praised by Wang Guowei as "the tablet of six dynasties, not the first in Sui Dynasty". Only three stone tablets have been preserved in China since the Sui Dynasty, but this stone tablet that records history is the most complete. Although the Sui Dynasty was short-lived, it made new achievements in culture. Sui dynasty inherited the style of Wei and Jin dynasties and the style of Six Dynasties, defined the theory of calligraphy pen and structure, and made a lot of processing. Seal script and official script disappeared, but regular script prevailed in the world and became an extremely standardized standard script, which initiated the official script in the Tang Dynasty and had the deepest influence and the greatest contribution to the school of writing regular script in the Tang Dynasty. Some people say that it created the tablet of Jiucheng Palace and Confucius Temple, while others say that this tablet paved the way for the calligraphy styles of Chu Suiliang and Xue Ji. It can be said that the calligraphy style of the Tang Dynasty has begun to emerge here, and the calligraphy of the Tang Dynasty is a direct inheritance of the calligraphy of the Sui Dynasty.
