The inscription is the first-hand material to understand life stories of historical people which is paid by great attention. The Huizhou inscription is also the basic material to make the reach of Huizhou characters. On the basis of having fully collected and cleared up the Huizhou human inscription, we make an analysis and conclusion of Huizhou inscription to try to make a comprehensive study of Huizhou commercial, politics, academic, culture and so on.The introduction of this essay will explain the research object, topic selection reason, research purpose, main contents and research methods.The main body consists of two parts. The first part emphasizes the research. The first chapter is An General Study of Inscription which explores the history and forms of inscriptions and generalizes its characteristics and literature values from inscriptions' explanation. Finally, we will make a brief introduction of inscriptions'assemble situation in history.The second chapter The General Discussion of Huizhou Inscriptions is the general study of Huizhou inscriptions which includes two parts. The first part is the analysis of its document carriers that is the general understanding of it. The second part is the clarity. According to the different identities, Huizhou inscription is divided into house performance, academy, art, value and others to try to reveal the historical position and characteristics of these people from Huizhou inscriptions.The third and fourth chapters is the specific inscriptions' study from the analysis of the two most importance people Cheng minzheng and Wang daokun and their case studies.From these two people, we choose their typical biographical material to make an easy research of disputed, related to the inscriptions' creation or focused problems so as to get the fair and complete understanding. We add relevant study to their biography including names of works, description, collections. Though they may not be so perfect, they can provide the convenience to readers. Then, we will talk about the relation between the two authors and Huizhou inscription. Cheng has the contribution of writing and collecting which discusses from Wenhuang Corpus and Xinan Document to reveal the landscape, characteristics and significance. Wang analysizes official, women and business biography to get its inscriptions' characteristics and meaning from Taihan Collection.The next part is The Index of Historical People of Huizhou Inscription which has about1500index of historical people in Huizhou. These inscriptions come form inscriptions, biographical index, collects which have been seen. The index includes names, sizes, dynasties, census registers, authors, biographical names, sources and so on. I have done my best to make it complete and exact to provide help to researchers. But it cannot avoid mistakes, so it needs to be improved.The rest part mainly talks about the part that does not be discussed. Firstly, The Chat of Shexian, written by Xu chengyao collects, settles and tests some biographical materials of Huizhou historical people. Its sayings are reasonable and do the primary research. But it is short and has something like sketch and can not be seen as inscriptions because of unwritten names, disordered styles. As a result, it can not be listed to discuss in the essay. But it has the contribution to complete the biographical sources. Secondly, Huizhou inscription should have the real objects, but because of conditions and abilities, we just use the paper material as the objects which are very pity. Hope to make a deeper research in the future.
