唐开元十六年《少林寺碑》新探

New Studies on the Stele of Shaolin Temple in 728

河南嵩山少林寺开元十六年所立《少林寺碑》是通传世名碑,碑石上所载数份公文有助于唐代宗教、法律、官制、文书、田赋等相关制度和史实研究,故自宋代著录以来,探究者不乏其人,但因所据或为二手著录,或为碑身局部拓片,以及单一性视角,难免以偏概全。本文在对全碑各部分公文按格式整理的基础上,就各公文的关键点,以及局部和整体碑文、单一和复合公文的关系等进行辨析,藉此阐释"碑本"研究的意义和法律碑刻的制度内涵。

As is well known,the Stele of Shaolin Temple built in Mt.Song,Henan in 728 is a famous stele.Several official texts inscribed on this stele will benefit studying the religion,law,institutions,documents,and land taxes.Thus,since it was recorded in the Song Dynasty,numerous scholars have examined it.Some of them are either based on secondary sources or based on partial rubbing copies.They often examine it from one perspective,lacking a comprehensive understanding.This paper re-edits all official documents on this stele based on their format,re-studies some key points in this stele and the relations between parts and the whole stele as well as between single document and multiple documents,and interprets the meaning of the stele’s original texts and the institutional implications of the juridical stele.
