《爨龙颜碑》由隐而显的历史过程考略

On the Historical Appearing Process of “Cuan Longyan Stone Tablet” from being Hidden to being Known

比照相关历史文献,发现爨龙颜于正史无考,原因是爨氏家族趁中原内乱独步南境、恃远擅命,中原王朝对其心存忌惮又不无鄙夷故不予承认。最终,不受承认的爨龙颜以存之久远的金石实现了传之久远的目的。“汉晋正传”的书法艺术和“向义中州”的精神内涵令《爨龙颜碑》由隐而显,阮元对其大行天下有推举之功。该碑体现了边疆民众对中原文化的主动迎迓和自觉认同,典型地呈现了云南边疆文化与中原汉文化的内在关联性。

Examining the relevant historical literatures,there is no textual record about Cuan Longyan in the official histories,which is because of the fact that the Cuan Family took control of this southwest part of China in the background of unrest in central China,and did not obey the order of the central Dynasties,the central Dynasties did not admit his ruling fact in the region though feared and despised him.In the end,the unrecognized Cuan Longyan achieved his purpose of having longterm legacy in history by his longstanding records on the stone.The calligraphy art of the“official Tradition of the Han and Jin Dynasties”and the spiritual connotation of“Xiangyi Zhongzhou(向义中州)”made the“Cuan Longyan Stone Tablet”appear from hiding,and Ruan Yuan(阮元)had made a contribution for it to be known by the world.The tablet reflects the frontier people's active reception and conscious recognition of the Central Plains Culture,and typically presents the internal relationship between the Yunnan Border Culture and the Central Plains Han Culture.
