宋词的刻石传播

The Spread of Song Ci Stone Inscription

在现存的两万余首宋词中,有近60首在宋代曾被摹勒入石。可见,刻石在当时也是传播词作的一种积极有效的重要方式。首先,它是集文学、书法、雕刻于一身的综合艺术,并且多位于人员往来频繁的名山胜水之处,因此传播范围广泛;其次,石质坚固耐久,因此传播时间久远。刻石传播也有不足之处,大自然的风化剥蚀、人为的破坏、散置四方的特点都会使传播受到影响。

Out of the 20000 Song ci-poetry works existing today, nearly 60 were inscribed on stone in the Song Dynasty, which indicates that stela was one of the important and effective means of ci-poetry transmission at that time. Firstly, stone carved works, as an integrated art of literature, calligraphy and sculpture, often located at famous mountains and valleys favored by travelers, can spread in a wide sphere. Secondly, carved stone, rigid and durable, spreads a long time. Nevertheless, stone transmission has its disadvantage because of weathering denudation, factitious destruction or inappropriate interspersion.
