南京出土明巩珍篆盖逸士孙公墓志

A Initial Understanding of the Sun Ren’s Epitpah Of the Ming Dynasty

明孙仁墓志出土于南京，刻于正统十三年（1448年），现藏于南京市博物馆。传主孙仁身份不高，其事迹不见史载，墓志的史料价值主要体现在墓志撰人汤铎及篆盖人巩珍上。巩珍曾随郑和、王景弘等出使西洋，是《西洋番国志》一书的作者，其事迹史料记载颇少，故孙仁墓志对于了解巩珍在下西洋活动结束之后于南京的活动具有重要的价值。

Sun Ren was lived in the Ming dynasty. His epitaph was excavated in Nanjing and is now preserved in Nanjing Municipal Museum. There is no historical record about Sun Ren, due to his low social status. The epitaph has important historical value due to written by Tang Duo and engraved seal character by Gong Zhen. Gong Zhen had ever been with Zheng He and Wang Jing Hong＇s voyages down the Western Oceans . He was the writer of the Xiyang fan guo zhi （Record of foreign countries in the Western Oceans）, but there was no historical record about him. We can know about Gong Zhen＇s life in Nanjing after the Zheng He＇ s expedition from Sun Ren＇s epitaph. So Sun Ren＇ epitaph has important historical value.
