A Study Of Classification Of Hao-taiwang Stele Rubbing

A Study of Classification of Hao-taiwang Stele Rubbing is consist of six parts. The first part is about Hao-taiwan Stele's stone rubbing and research. In Hao-taiwang Stele1877, Hao-taiwang Stele was found in Tonggou by Guan Yueshan. After firing the moss, the complete rubbing appeared in Hao-taiwang Stele 1880. Researchers begin to study Hao-taiwang Stele, from literal interpretation to history study. With years of study, researchers have come up with many accomplishments. In recent years, researchers find out that all the rubbings can be divided in to several types:double rubbing, normal rubbing and carving reproduction. The second part is about Hao-taiwang Stele's early rubbing which appeared after Hao-taiwang Stele 1900. Such as Jiuxiongjingxin double rubbing, Shuigutierlang's edition, Taiwan edition, Peking University library's edition. The second part focus on the description and discussion about the paper, ink, text status and the reservation of the rubbings. The third part is about Hao-taiwang Stele after lime washing. There are many disagreements about the time of the lime washing still, but with proofs such as photos and documentary records it can be proved that the time was after Hao-taiwang Stele 1900. Lime washing has a certain affect to the text and the rubbing as well. The discussion of Yang Shoujing's double rubbing's appear and characteristic is based on this part. The forth part states the rubbing after Hao-taiwang Stele's lime coming off, which happens around Hao-taiwang Stele930. During this time there are several editions of rubbing: Lv Yaodong's donation edition, Zhang Mingshan's edition, Zhou Yuntai's edition. The later two editions were completed after the foundation of PRC so they have different characteristics in paper, ink and technical skills. The fifth part is about Hao-taiwang Stele's research and chronicle. Based on different rubbings, photos and documentaries, researchers come up with their own classification and chronicles, such as Chinese researchers Wang Jianqun, Piao Zhenshi, Geng Tiehua, Xu Jianxin and Japanese researchers Teijiro Mizutani, Lee Jinxi, Yukio Takeda. Because of the different understanding of rubbings, and the using of paper, ink, technical skills, and the use of lime, researchers have a great disagreement on Hao-taiwang Stele's rubbing. So the rubbings can be divided into four period:early rubbing, lime washing rubbing, rubbing after lime comes off and rubbing after the foundation of RPC. In this part, the paper gives a brief introduction to all the involved rubbings.This paper respectfully introduced several researchers'opinions such as the discovery time was in Hao-taiwang Stele877, firing moss and lime washing. At the same time, the author come up with his own ideas about the evaluation and time, such as the editions of Yang Shoujing, Neiteng Hunan, LIangning Museum. With the rubbings in Hao-taiwang Stele880-20Gwanggaeto Stele5, the author's way of classification is different from other predecessors. This is all personal opinion, any comment is appreciated.
