A Study On Chinese Characters Of Stone Inscriptions In Jin Dynasty

Influenced by the Song Dynasty,a large number of Chinese stone carvings were produced in the Jin Dynasty,which was a special period of successive and overlapping coexistence with the Song Dynasty.At present,the field of philology research on Chinese stone inscriptions in the Jin Dynasty is relatively rare.In this paper,192 Chinese stone inscriptions of the Jin Dynasty with complete content,clear handwriting and wide types are selected as the research materials,and on this basis,the rubbings are interpreted,cut and classified to form a database corresponding to text information and pictures.Through quantitative database analysis,this paper studies the characteristics of different characters in Chinese stone inscriptions of the Jin Dynasty,and explores the overall characteristics of the characters in this period under the comparison of synchronic and diachronic levels.This paper is divided into five parts:The first part is the introduction,which introduces the research background,the scope of material selection,the purpose and significance of the research,sorts out the current research status of the Jin Dynasty stone carving,and makes a detailed introduction to the research methods of this paper.The second part is the arrangement of the Jin Dynasty’s interpretation texts,which is divided into 13 pieces of the existing interpretation texts,and 2 cases of the overall annotation,as well as 3 cases of the new interpretation texts without the description of the stone inscriptions.The third part is about the study of the stone carving of the Jin Dynasty,that is,the static description of the allographs in this period.First,all the allogeneic characters are screened out, then they are classified from the body point of view,and the causes of the allogeneic charactcrs are excavated,and finally the quantitative analysis is carried out.The fourth part is the inheritance and new characters of the Jin Dynasty stone carving.Inheritance glyphs are not the key research category of this paper,so we only do data statistics and analysis of inheritance types.This part focuses on the new alien glyphs and new Chinese characters in the stone inscriptions of the Jin Dynasty,as well as the new glyphs not found in any unearthed documents of the previous generation,which is also the innovation of this paper.The classification and quantification of the new variant glyphs can not only reflect the characteristics of the variation of the glyphs in the Jin Dynasty,but also provide data support for the synchronic research between the later and the Song Dynasty.At the same time,there are a number of new Chinese characters not found in the Song Dynasty,as well as new Chinese characters not found in any unearthed documents of the previous generation,which together with the new different Chinese characters reflect the characters used in the stone carvings of the Jin Dynasty.The fifth part is the contemporaneous and historical comparative study of tho Jin Dynasty stone carvings.Based on data quantitative analysis,this part discusses the diurgical comparison of stone inscriptions of the Jin Dynasty with those of the Sui,Tang and Five Dynasties in different dimensions,as well as the synchronic comparison of stone inscriptions of the Northern Song Dynasty,so as to dig out the standardization degree of stone inscriptions of the Jin Dynasty and the overall characteristics of its writing development.The last part is the appendix “Table of Glyphs of Chinese Stone Carvings in the Jin Dynasty”which is arranged in the order of the radicals of SHUOWENJIEZI and adds the retrieval function for the convenience of readers.
