碑碣传播及其功能

The Dissemination and Functions of Stele Inscriptions

碑刻是中国文化的特有符号,起始于秦代,兴盛于东汉,唐代趋于高潮。碑碣作为文化的重要物质载体之一,传播文化、教育功能显著;具有彰显民族精神、助力社会教化的功能;展示了汉字和少数民族文字书法体形的演变和传承;一些存世碑刻成为民族融合的实物见证。

Stele, as an important material carrier of culture, functions to spread culture and education, highlight national spirit and social civilization, and display the evolution and heritage of calligraphy concerning both Chinese characters and minority languages. Be- sides, some surviving inscriptions have become solid evidences of our national integration.
