《唐恒岳故禅师影堂纪德之碑》所见唐代之定窑

A Research of Ding Kiln from The Inscriptions on The Stone Tablet in Memory of Late Buddhist Monk Hengyue of The Tang Dynasty

《唐恒岳故禅师影堂纪德之碑》碑阴为我们研究唐代的定窑提供了宝贵的第一手资料。通过碑文可知,唐代定窑从性质上看是一个地方官府经营的、主要生产民用瓷器的官窑。当时的定窑有石城冶、白土冶、恒山冶等诸窑场,设有节度总管、判官、将、副将、虞候诸职,组织管理严密,已经具有相当的规模。

The inscriptions on the back of the stone tablet in the memory of late Monk Hengyue provides the first-hand materials regarding the management and production of the Ding kiln in the Tang dynasty, which has been studied to be officially run by the local government to produce mainly for civil uses in this paper. The kiln was properly operating with large-scaled production in its sites like Shichengye, Baituye, Hengshanye under the strict official supervision and administration consisting of Jiédùzǒngguǎn (chief local official), Pànguān (assistant to chief local official), Jiàng(general), Fùjiàng(vice-general), Yúhòu(inspector) and somebody else.
