辽代奉敕撰文墓志留白探讨

The Study on the Blanks in Epitaphs with Imperial Edict in Liao Dynasty

辽代出土墓志志石上存在着许多“留白”现象,尤其是官方奉敕墓志。除却个别志石形制上的非内容留白之外,志文内容中的留白更值得去探讨。主要有志首处的并序留白、志题换行留白、撰者官职前留白、撰者姓名间留白、奉敕处留白;墓志正文中的礼制留白和特殊留白;还有志尾的铭曰处留白、铭间留白和其他留白等。说明在辽代奉敕墓志撰刻的过程中存在一种相对固定的格式,而且这种格式在唐代墓志就已有众多体现,体现出辽代对唐代墓志撰刻风格的继承。

There are many blanks in the epitaphs in Liao Dynasty,especially the official epitaphs with imperial edict.In addition to the blanks leaving for the shape of the tombstone,the blanks leaving in the content of the epitaphs is of higher research value.In the beginning of the epitaph,there are blanks in the additional preface,in the newline of the title,in the front of the author’s government position,between the author’s name,and in the imperial edict;in the body of the epitaph,there are blanks leaving for etiquette or for special purposes;at the end of the epitaph,there are blanks in the inscriptions and other places.It shows that there was a relatively fixed format in the process of the epitaphs in Liao Dynasty,and this format had been widely used in the epitaphs in Tang Dynasty,which reflects the inheritance of Tang Dynasty epitaph style in Liao Dynasty.
