追思凡将斋

Reminiscing about Fanjiang Studio

马衡搜集石刻拓本9000余件,其中以清代与民国年间出土和发现的墓志、碑版、造像和汉、魏石经为主。这些拓本后归故宫博物院为碑帖库的建立奠定了基础。当考古学传入之时,他积极参与考古调查与发掘,他的《中国金石学概论》体现了革新思想。

Ma Heng put together a collection of more than 9,000 rubbings of stone inscriptions, mostly comprising tomb epitaphs, stelae, sculptural images and Han-Wei classics on stone discovered or unearthed in the Qing Dynasty and Republican period. These rubbings later became part of the Palace Museum collections, forming the basis of the museum’s repository of stelae texts. With the introduction of archaeology, he actively participated in archaeological surveys and excavations. His Fundamentals of Chinese Epigraphy was the product of his innovative thinking.
