| Xinhua,known as Meishan in ancient times,was formally established in Xinhua County in the fifth year of Xining in the Northern Song Dynasty(1072).Its administrative area reaches as far north as The Sili River in Yiyang,as far south as Fozi Mountain in Xiangxiang,as far west as Baisha Village in Shaoyang,and as far east as Situ Mountain in Ningxiang.Xinhua county has a large number of inscription resources.The tongzhi Xinhua County Annals · Stone Inscription volume recorded 44 stone inscriptions,the earliest can be traced back to the Wu Wufeng brick in the fourth year of Daxing Jin Dynasty(321).Through field investigation,the author found that the number of xinhua inscriptions was far more than recorded in the county annals.The historical information contained in it provides valuable materials for the study of ancient politics,economy and culture of Xinhua County.Due to the large number of inscriptions and scattered distribution,it is impossible to collect and collate the information of inscriptions comprehensively and systematically throughout the country.However,the existing inscriptions of the North Tower and Wenchangge not only have a certain number,but also have high quality,great influence and complete preservation.Therefore,the author chooses the north tower and Wenchangge two stele inscriptions for thematic research.This paper will be developed from four aspects.The first part: through the field investigation of the North Tower and Wenchang Pavilion,the two catalogues of "The Existing Inscriptions in The North Tower of Xinhua" and "the Existing inscriptions in The Wenchang Pavilion of Xinhua" are sorted out,which can be used as the inscriptions information index of the two places,providing convenience for the later compilation work.The second part: classifies the text contents of the inscriptions in the north tower of Xinhua and wenchangge,and collates the history of the stone school with the inscriptions recorded in the Annals of Xinhua County · Jinshi.The third part: the north tower and wenchangge inscription calligraphy art is discussed.Based on the analysis of the calligraphic style of the existing inscriptions in the North Tower and Wenchangge,the basic characteristics are discussed.Then it explores the basic appearance of folk calligraphy style in Hunan since the Qing Dynasty and the influence of pavilion style calligraphy on the whole Qing dynasty calligraphy.Part four: mainly explore the value and protection of the inscriptions of Xinhua North Tower and Wenchang Pavilion.Xinhua tablet carving is an important resource of local tablet carving in Hunan,and its value involves historical materials,literature,calligraphy art and many other aspects.At present,due to inadequate protection,insufficient research and utilization,the value of xinhua tablet inscriptions is far from its due value.To solve this problem,the author proposes a scheme to build a database of new inscription image information,which is conducive to the preservation and research of new inscription resources in the future. |
