The stone carving on Mount Tai was established in the 28th year of the First Emperor (219 BC), which is the earliest stone carving on Mount Tai. The first half was carved when Qin Shihuang visited Mount Tai in 219 BC. The second half was carved in the first year of Qin Ershi Hu Hai's accession to the throne (29 BC). The carved stone is wide and narrow on all sides. Both inscriptions were written by Li Si. 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. It has extremely high artistic value.
At this moment, Ishihara is divided into two parts: the first half was carved by Qin Shihuang when he visited Mount Tai in 219 BC, with 144 characters; The second half was carved in the first year of Qin Ershi Hu Hai's accession to the throne (29 BC), with 78 words. The carved stone is wide and narrow in all directions, with 22 lines, 12 words in each line and 222 words in * *. Both inscriptions were written by Li Si. At present, there are only 1 words left in Qin Ershi's imperial edict, that is, "I asked a minister to go to bed and die", also known as "Taishan Cross". According to the Records of Tai 'an County in the eighth year of Daoguang in Qing Dynasty (1828), in the fourth year of Song Dynasty (1114), the stone was carved on the jade girl pool in Daiding, and 146 words could be read, and 76 words were lost. During the reign of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, Xu in Beijing moved this stone to the East Temple of Yuanjun Palace in Bixia. At that time, there were only four lines and 29 words left in the imperial edict of II, that is, "I asked for an engraved imperial edict because I understood that I asked for my death." In the fifth year of Qing Qianlong (174), Bixia Temple was destroyed by fire, and the stone carving was lost.
in the 2th year of Jiaqing (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.
Taishan stone carving 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.
