A monument to Lu

A monument to Lu

"Lu" means "Lu". It was originally in yunmifeng, Hengshan County, Hunan Province. There are inscriptions in Kunming, Chengdu, Shaoxing and Xi'an. The characters are like Miao Zhuan and Fu Lu. It is said that it was written by Xia Yu, which is actually a false trust of later generations.

A brief introduction to inscriptions

The stele of yilou (the stele of King Yu and the stele of great Yu's merit) was originally carved on yilou peak of Hengshan Mountain in Hunan Province, so it is called "yilou stele". The original trace has disappeared for thousands of years. It was rediscovered in the first ten days of July 2007 and has become a key cultural relic protection object in Hunan Province.

It is said that this monument is a relic of praising Yu of Xia Dynasty. It is also known as "Yu monument", "Yu King monument" and "Da Yu merit monument". The earliest records of the stele can be found in the records of Xiangzhong by Luo Han in the Eastern Han Dynasty and the spring and Autumn Annals of Wu and Yue by Zhao Ye. Later, Li Daoyuan's notes to the water classic, Xu Lingqi's records of Nanyue and Wang Xiangzhi's records of Yudi are all recorded.

Local rubbings

When he Zhiyou visited Nanyue in 1212, the full text of lintuo was engraved on Yunlu peak of Yuelu Mountain in Changsha. Pan Yi, the governor of Changsha in the Ming Dynasty, found this stele in Yuelu Mountain and spread it all over the world. Since then, the stele has been well-known in the world. Later, it has been reprinted in Dali of Yunnan, Beichuan of Sichuan, Qixia mountain of Nanjing of Jiangsu, Yuzhou of Henan, Beilin of Xi'an of Shaanxi, Shaoxing of Zhejiang, and Wuhan of Hubei. Scholars Yang Shen and Shen Yi of the Ming Dynasty have also explained it.

In the winter of 1536, Zhang Su (Zhang Biquan) brought back the rubbings of the stele to Yunnan, and later carved them on the stone wall of fahua temple in Luoyang mountain, east of Anning County, which is a cliff stone carving;

In Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, it is located in the stele Pavilion of the Yu temple in Shaoxing. In 1541, Zhang Mingdao, the magistrate of Shaoxing, copied it here according to the rubbings of Yuelu Academy, which is a tablet inscription;

In the stele Pavilion of Yu temple in Jiulongshan, Mingquan County, Sichuan Province (today's Yuli Qiang Township in Beichuan County), it was built in 1561;

Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, is located on the side of Tiankai rock in Qixia mountain. It was carved by Yang Shiqiao, the left servant of the Ministry of Li in February of the 32nd year of Wanli reign of emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty (1609). It is a cliff stone carving;

In Wanli period of Ming Dynasty, it was engraved in Jixian County, Henan Province;

During the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, Mao Hui was built in Xi'an Fu Xue and GUI De Fu Shu, and the stele of King Yu was carved successively.

content

The inscription consists of 77 characters, 9 lines, 9 characters in each line from the first to the eighth line, and 5 characters in the last line. Its shape is like a tadpole, which is not only different from Oracle Bone and Zhong Dingwen, but also different from the tadpole of Zhen Wen. Some people speculate that it may be a kind of Taoist Fu Lu, and some say it is a Taoist forgery.

Because of its peculiar writing, there are different views on its content in the past dynasties. In ancient times, it was mostly considered to record the content of Dayu's flood control, while some scholars believed that the "Lou stele" was not a Yu stele. For example, Cao Jinyan thinks that the stele is the eulogy of Zhu Ju, the prince of Yue in the Warring States period, on behalf of his father, the king of Yue. Liu Zhiyi believes that the stele was erected in 611 B.C. (the third year of King Zhuang of Chu), and its content is to praise the historical process and meritorious service of King Zhuang of Chu in annihilating the mediocre state.

Yuwang stele in Yuelu Mountain

Located on the left side of Yunlu peak in Yuelu Mountain scenic spot of Changsha, Hunan Province, facing east, it is a cliff stone carving. It is a copy of Jiading five years of Southern Song Dynasty. In 1551, Zhang Ximing, the prefect of Changsha, had a pavilion for protecting steles; in 1630, BingDao shiweiyue was rebuilt with pavilions and stone railings; in Kangxi, Zhou Zhaonan and Ding Sikong were rebuilt. On the two sides of the stele are Liu Runan's song of praising God and Yu's stele and Ouyang Zhenghuan's Daguan's stele in the Ming Dynasty; Zhou Han rebuilt it in 1935 and added the amount of Yu's stele. After the founding of the people's Republic of China, Hunan Provincial People's Committee designated it as a key cultural relics protection unit in Hunan Province.

Yang Shenyu's inscriptions

Chengdi Rizi, yizuoqing. Zhou Zhu and Deng, the gate of birds and animals. Participate in the flood, and Ming FA Er Xing. Long journey, forget home, stay in Yuelu court. The wisdom of the camp is broken, but the heart is broken. To seek peace, Huayue Taiheng. To live in sparsity is to work more than God. Yu Sai faint migration. Nandu Jiheng. Clothing and food are the best in all countries, dancing and running forever. Ma Heshan believes that: In fact, this is just the general situation of the development of things, and sometimes there are special situations. Shang is a clan living in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, with few people, no characters and no culture. It is a very backward clan The clans of the Xia nationality, whose totem is Xuanniao {swallow}, are different from those of the Xia nationality, whose totem is dragon. The Xia nationality has entered the era of farming and hundred workers, and the corresponding civilization of writing culture has reached a high level of development. It has been 13400 years since the Yellow Emperor Cangjie created the characters to the end of the Xia Dynasty. The writing is very developed, which is a matter of course From the founding of the people's Republic of China to the moving of the capital Yin Ruins, the merchant's writing did not come out, so they had to use the folk characters of the Xia nationality. I guess the shamans, the people who wrote on oracle bones and the people who engraved characters in the Shang Dynasty were all taken up by the Xia people This is the real reason why the official script of the Xia Dynasty is more mature than the folk script of the Shang Dynasty
