Introduction and interpretation of "The Ritual Vessel Stele"

Introduction to "The Stele of Ritual Utensils"

The full name is "The Stele of Ritual Utensils Built by Han Yuan, Prime Minister of Han and Lu", also known as "The Monument of Confucius Temple in Han Ming Mansion". "Stele", "Han Yuan Stele", etc. Engraved in the second year of Han Yongshou (156), official script. The length is 227.2 cm and the width is 102.4 cm. Hidden in the Confucius Temple in Qufu, Shandong Province. No amount. The engravings on all four sides are all in official script. The stele has sixteen lines and thirty-six characters, and nine people including Han Yuan have named it after the text. There are inscriptions on the underside of the stele and on both sides. Collected in Volume 9 of "Inscriptions and Stone Collection"

This stele has the most records since the Song Dynasty. It is a highly artistic work of calligraphy and has always been regarded as the most important standard in official script. The style of calligraphy is fine, vigorous and vigorous, strict and elegant, square and beautiful at the same time. The back half of the stele and the shadow of the stele are its most exciting parts. The artistic value is extremely high. It has always been considered a classic among Han dynasty monuments.

Ming Guo Zongchang's "History of Metal and Stone" commented: "The Han Dynasty should take the "Confucian Temple Ritual Stele" as the first", "The beauty of his calligraphy and painting is neither the pen nor the hand, and it is ancient and elegant. The magical power is not man-made. The so-called "stars are turning like lightning, and they are as thin as hair."

Wang Shu of the Qing Dynasty commented in his "Xuzhou Inscriptions and Postscripts": "The Han Dynasty is the most strange in Lifa. Each stele has its own uniqueness, and there is no one the same. This stele is particularly strange, thin and strong as iron, changing like a dragon. Every word is strange, and there is no clue about it." He also said, "Only "Han Yu" is unparalleled in beauty. I think it is pure but powerful, and it is powerful but solemn. "

Yang Shoujing of the Qing Dynasty also said: "Han Li, such as "Kai Tong Baoxie Dao" and "Ode to the Stone Gate of Yang Jun", are those who win by temperament; "Jing Jun" ", "Lu Jun", "Feng Longshan", etc., are the best in terms of shape and quality; those who combine them can only recommend this stele. ("Ping Stele Notes")

The wording on this stele is complete, and the characters on the side of the stele are as sharp as new. They are especially elegant and colorful, and are criss-crossed, which is highly appreciated by calligraphers. Those who attacked the Han Dynasty mostly took "Li Qi" as a model. There are many rubbings handed down in the Ritual Vessel Stele. The Mingtuo is broken at a suitable point, not to mention writing a word, and it is extended by the foot, which is different from the word "year" on the stele. "

Fei Shengqian, a modern calligrapher, commented on "Ritual Vessels": "Beiyang's calligraphy inherits the characteristics of Qi bronze inscriptions since the Spring and Autumn Period. The pens used are mainly "square pens", and occasionally "round pens" are also used. Therefore, the style is both strong and beautiful. There is a strong contrast in the weight and weight of the strokes when writing. The thin "one-point stroke" and the thick "three-point stroke" are used alternately. The ups and downs of the weight and the tight knotting of the characters make the characters look like steel ropes. There is a kind of Thin and firm, slender but able to be thick, it combines sparseness and elegance with rigor, and strangeness and danger with the calm wind spirit. The pen used on the yin side is more casual and informal, with a more playful and flying feel. In the early Tang Dynasty, the regular script often had the meaning of officialdom, and all of them had a profound and close blood relationship with this stele. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that "Liqi" created the scale of Kaifa in the early Tang Dynasty. "
