《神道碑》与朱载堉生平考述

Tablet on the Side of a Tomb and Study on the Life of Zhu Zaiyu

朱载埔是我国明代杰出的科学家和艺术家,在世界上首创了十二平均律理论。朱载堉墓在河南省沁阳市东北九峰山下,墓碑《郑端清世子赐葬神道碑》由明代著名书法家王铎撰文并书丹。该碑文在清代《怀庆府志》、《河内县志》中均有著录。沁阳县文管会于1986年发掘出的该碑刻的残片,补充了方志著录的缺漏和不足。碑文详述了朱载埔世系、生平和学术成果,是研究朱堉载学术思想的重要文献资料,对纠补正史之漏误有重要的价值。

Zhu Zaiyu,an outstanding scientist and artist of Ming Dynasty,was the first person in the world to found the theory of twelve-tone equal temperament. The stone tablet for his tomb was originally erected at the foot of Nine-peak Mountain in the northwest of Qinyang City. The inscription on the tablet was written and inscribed in bright red by Wang Duo,a famous calligrapher in Ming Dynasty. The inscription, which describes Zhu s pedigree, life story and academic achievements, is an important document for studying his academic thought, as well as valuable material to correct theomissions and mistakes of the official history. The inscription on the stone tablet was recorded in both Annals of Huaiqing Prefecture and Annals of Henei County of the Qing Dynasty.
