history

There is no date and the name of the engraver. Wang Shizhen of Ming Dynasty thinks that "it's not true to pass on Wang Youjun's calligraphy, but it's not impossible for Tang people to write it because of its ancient strength.". Sun Kehong of the Ming Dynasty said in his "ancient and modern stone inscriptions and inscriptions" that "today's examination of his writing skills is the same as that of Wei Zichen of Zou County and the Northern Qi Dynasty, and it is no doubt that he is also the Wei family." According to the records of Taishan Daoli written by Nie Jianguang in the Qing Dynasty, "during the period of Wuping in the Northern Qi Dynasty, Liang's father ordered Prince chun to have a good command of the Internal Canon, taste the two stone scriptures carved in jianlai, and recite the names of various Buddhas. The handwriting is so different that it's like a master's hand. It's done by Dang Yizi Chun. " In the second issue of calligraphy in 1989, Wang enli and Lai Fei wrote a preliminary investigation and study of Tieshan (Shi Song). They believed that the inscription on the cliff of Tieshan in Zoucheng at the moment was like a person's hand, and the diameter, style and style of the characters were very consistent. Therefore, it was concluded that it was the first book of monk an Dao in Dongling. There is no definite conclusion about all the above theories. It is suspected that the style of his writing style was written by the people of the Northern Qi Dynasty. According to historical records, Buddhism spread rapidly since it was introduced into China in the late Western Han Dynasty. After 300 years of development in the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Western Jin Dynasty, it was introduced into Mount Tai in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In the northern and Southern Dynasties, Buddhism and Taoism prevailed, and Emperor Wu of Zhou knew well that the country was plagued by Salmonella, so he ordered the destruction of Buddhism in the third year of Jiande (574 AD); in the sixth year of Jiande, the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Northern Qi Dynasty, and Emperor Wu still ordered the destruction of Buddhism in Qi. This is one of the "four Dharma difficulties" that Buddhists call, so the Sutra carving in jingshiyu was interrupted. Here we can also see the last line 15 of a dozen red double tick characters, only outlines the main outline. Therefore, the whole stone carving did not sign, leaving a mystery for future generations.
