Shi Hangjun's dragon niche hand mirror

Shi Jun, a monk of Jinhe Temple in Yuzhou, Liao Dynasty, was named Guangji. It is the Buddhist calligraphy of Liao Dynasty in China, which played an important role in the spread and popularization of Buddhism in Liao Dynasty. It has also attracted great attention from contemporary philology, phonology, Dunhuang academic circles and Buddhist circles because of the preservation of a large number of handwritten folk characters and variant characters. The author is Shi Hangjun. Guang Zhi, a monk, called it "playing with a clear device" in the preface to the mirror of the dragon niche, and Yanjin, Yun Fei, was good at phonology and was idle in calligraphy. See lsquo rock rsquo is not exquisite, see lsquo gold rsquo sealed, 95% changed. This is what we know about the basic situation of Shi Hangjun. According to Wang Mian Hou's textual research, The Rock is a Buddhist dictionary compiled by Shi, with dragon niches, mirrors and other references. As for the river where Shi Hangjun lives, it obviously refers to the place where he lives. According to the hand mirror of the dragon niche, it should be the Jinhe Temple in Yuzhou. According to the records of the Year of the Loong's niche hand mirror, in the ten years of Liao Dynasty, the Holy Emperor had the honor to be a rice monk at Jinhe Temple in Wutai Mountain. Wutai Mountain blessed by the Holy Patrol is a small Wutai Mountain in Yuzhou, Xijing Road, Liao country, not Wutai Mountain in Song Dynasty. According to the records from 0755 to 79000, the Jinhe Temple in Yuzhou should have been built in the early years of Liao Dynasty. The three generations of Liao Dynasty, the holy Sect, the prosperous age and the Taoist Sect, were the heyday of advocating Buddhism. In addition to the sacred patriarchy and the rice monk of Jinhe Temple in Wutai Mountain in 2006, Daozong lived with Jinhe Temple in July of the ninth year of Xianyong. Fifteen years of Tonghe, Liao history, happened to be five years after Liao Shengzong arrived at Jinhe Temple in Xiaowutai Mountain. Therefore, it can be speculated that Bian Shi Liao and Xingzong may be lucky enough to visit Jinhe Temple in Xiaowutai Mountain for the first time. This is a popular Chinese character book. According to the wisdom of Guangxu, the new voice is biased towards the dragon niche, still holding a mirror, describing and thinking, focusing on beauty and ugliness. Therefore, it is called Liao History Collection. Shixing is the original calligraphy, because it contains the actual pronunciation and common fonts at that time, as well as popular folk characters. In terms of compilation, Shi Hang is not confined to the old example of Xu Shenlong's hand mirror compilation in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but is divided into four volumes in four tones according to the common fonts at that time. Although the style is not perfect, it is quite innovative. There are 242 parts in the book, which is more than half of the 540 parts in The Dragon's Cave Hand Mirror. The words in this book are as follows: 26,430 words, 163 170 words, 1896 10 words. According to four lines of small print in the late Song Dynasty, there are 2433 words in this book, with comments of 163 177 words. From the handed down version of Song Dynasty, we can know that the total number of words in this book is 1896 10, which is the most extensive Buddhist reference book in Liao and Song Dynasties. The original engraving of Liao Dynasty has been lost. The earliest one handed down from ancient times is the engraving of the Song Dynasty recorded by the hand mirror in Longdong, Shen Kuo in the Northern Song Dynasty. In Xining, someone got the news from Lu and came in and said that this is our home. Pu Shuai is in western Zhejiang, taking a plaque. In the Song Dynasty, due to the taboo of Song Taizu people, Zhao Kuangyin's grandfather Yong 'an Zhao Jing changed it into an explanatory word. This book was introduced not only to the Central Plains, but also to the Korean Peninsula as early as then. This is another evidence of the cultural exchange between Liao and Wang at that time.
