唐王积薪墓志浅释

A Brief Study on the Epitaph of Wang Jixin of the Tang Dynasty

王积薪是盛唐棋坛第一国手,围棋界的传奇人物,影响巨大。但两《唐书》无其传记,关于其事迹的零星记载,主要见于段成式《酉阳杂俎》、薛用弱《集异记》、李肇《唐国史补》等唐人小说,其真实性俟待考证。新近面世的王积薪墓志,对其家世、生平记载甚详,揭示了一代围棋奇才多才多艺、真实悲怆的人生。同时可证,唐人笔记小说有关其记载不足凭信。

As the top player of Go in the high Tang, Wang Jixin was a legend and had great influence on the game. The two Tang Book don＇t have Wang Jiin＇s biography and only fragmentary words about him, whose authentic needs to be identified, can be seen in Tang story books, such as the Youyang Miscellany by Duan Chengshi, A Collection of Strange Anecdotes by Xue Yongruo and the A Supplement to the Official History of Tang. However, thanks to the recent discovery and publication of the Wang＇s epitaph, which records his family and life in detail, we are able to know much about the Go master. The epitaph also suggests that what concerning Wang in Tang story books is not reliable.
