《衡方碑》异体字分析

Analysis of the Variant Forms of Chinese Characters in "Heng Fang" Tombstone

历代学者对《衡方碑》的研究,大多是从书法特色、拓本辨伪、艺术风格等方面进行研究。历代书法理论家评论《衡方碑》,也大都对其外在的形式特色加以评述,少有从字形方面进行考释者。两汉时期古文向今文字演变,是汉字发展大变革的关键时期。东汉时期隶书逐渐成熟和发展,受古文、籀文、小篆等古文字的影响,这一时期保留了数量相当大的异体字,这些异体字比较明显地反映了演变中的文字面貌,也给后代读者造成不小的阅读障碍。《衡方碑》作为汉隶名品,不仅仅具有极高的书法艺术地位,其文字学价值也很重要,其中的大量异体字值得我们分析研究。
