The basic meaning of inscriptions on inscriptions
Inscriptions on inscriptions, "stele" and "inscriptions", are originally two different concepts. To extol the merits, establish biographies, and chronicle the words, first draw the two sides of the ink path according to the dots of the characters, hook them on the stone to form "hollow characters", or write them directly on the stone with red paint, that is, calligraphy on the stone, and then go through it. The words engraved and erected at a certain memorial place are called "steles". The words on the ancient stele were written by famous calligraphers and masters, and the handwriting can be used by future generations. The words on the stele are rubbed out with tissue paper and burnt ink and then mounted, which is called "rubbing", and is usually also called "stele".
"Tie" originally refers to the calligrapher's real ink pen. For the needs of dissemination and learning, after the Song Dynasty, there were collections of original works of famous artists, which were hooked, carved, and carved on stone or jujube boards. "Tie", "Baojin Zhai Dharma Tie". "Stele calligraphy" has been combined into one term and is used to generally refer to the template for learning calligraphy methods. ----"Appreciation of Ancient Stele Inscriptions" by Fei Shengqian
"Stele Inscriptions" are often put together and collectively referred to as "stele inscriptions". In fact, "stele" mainly refers to Han, Wei, and Tang steles. According to type, there are tombstones. , temple monuments, statues and cliffs, etc.; "Tie" refers to the writer's letters or poems, etc. Because there was no photography technology in ancient times, the circulation could only rely on rubbings. With the improvement of printing technology, the exclusive collection of rubbings on stele and inscriptions gradually became less and less in circulation. Therefore, the so-called collection of inscriptions on inscriptions actually refers to the collection of rubbings (or rubbings).
Stele calligraphy, commonly known as "black tiger" in the past, is a work of art that combines cultural and historical connotations with artistic taste and craftsmanship.
In order to record important events and grand celebrations of the previous dynasty, our predecessors carved literary forms and calligraphers’ handwritings on cliffs and stone tablets through the hands of famous craftsmen. Therefore, stone tablets have a multifaceted art. The content is also mounted into scrolls or albums, thus becoming inscriptions. Stele calligraphy is the collective name of stele and calligraphy. In fact, "stele" refers to the rubbings of stone carvings, and "stele" refers to the famous ink marks of the ancients, which are engraved on a wooden board or collected on a stone. In the early days of the development of printing, rubbings of tablets and inscriptions were important means of spreading culture. In the future, people will have to study these written materials in order to learn calligraphy or make historical materials. For this reason, these "steles" have authenticity, timeliness, craftsmanship and artistry. Since cultural goods can circulate in the market and have economic value, appreciation has become an important means.
To understand the various rubbings left in ancient times, it is important to identify the original stone. Since the original stone tablet was destroyed, the only remaining original rubbing or the only copy will be priceless. According to historical records, Huang Tingjian of the Ming Dynasty once recorded that the "Zhenguan Engraving" on the Confucius Temple Stele was purchased for a thousand taels of gold. This illustrates the value of Yu Shinan's "Confucius Temple Stele". However, when the "Chengwu Version" and "Xi'an Version" were reprinted in the future, the quality of the reprinted copies was not as good as the original rubbings. In 1920, the great collector Luo Zhenyu publicly sold the Ming rubbings "Xi'an Benmiaotang Stele" authenticated by him, which was worth 140 yuan. The "Chengwu Benmiaotang Stele" collected by Zhang Shumo was worth 120 yuan.
Due to the law of value, many collectors are interested in truly learning to appreciate inscriptions. From the overall understanding of inscriptions, appreciation also extends from the outside to the inside, with different aspects.
The first thing that catches the eye is the decoration of rubbings. Various old rubbings, especially ancient rubbings, have styles from different periods. Therefore, "jingzhe decoration", "butterfly decoration", "thread decoration", etc. all reflect the materials and mounting era. Characteristics, and then the rubbing paper and the specific ink color and effect of the rubbing, this is an objective analysis of the materials and techniques.
After the Southern Song Dynasty, masters of counterfeiting inscriptions increasingly focused on rubbing techniques and carving stones. Therefore, further identification of calligraphy style, brush use, etc. has become the main basis for appreciation. In addition, there are auxiliary basis for identifying the inscriptions, such as inscriptions, seals, inscriptions and postscripts, etc., which can help us identify the authenticity.
