论何延之《兰亭记》乃是信史——附论《兰亭》临摹本的变迁

Lan Ting Ji by He Yan-zhi Is in Fact a True History——On the Story of the Imitated Copy of Lan Ting

唐人何延之的《兰亭记》是一篇对王羲之书写《兰亭序》的全过程,及此序尔后的收藏、传世、御命临摹、著录及后殉于唐太宗昭陵的有系统地记叙的信史,桑世昌《兰亭考》及俞松《兰亭续考,》记载了《兰亭序》真本为温韬发掘昭陵时所毁以及传世至今的临摹各本的来龙去脉。

Lan Ting Ji, written by He Yan-zhi, a man of the Tang Dynasty, is in fact a true history systematically written of how Wang Xi-zhi wrote Lan Ting Xu, and then later how it was collected, handed down, copied imperially, described and at last destroyed in the mausoleum of Tang Tai-zong. Lan Ting Kao by Sang Shi-chang and Lan Ting Xu Kao by Yu Song records how the true copy of Lan Ting Xu was destroyed by Wen Tao when he excavated the mausoleum of Tang Tai-zong and how various imitated copies were passed down.
