Yihe Inscription was called the“origin of big characters”by Huang Tingjian.Its author and creation time have always been the topics discussed by scholars,and there is no final conclusion so far.This paper analyzes the approximate time of the emergence of Yihe Inscription fromthe evolution of geographical names such as“Huating”and“Zhufang”,the development of character writing,and the contents of the inscription,and analyzes the identity of the author from the use of words such as“Danyang military officer”and“Jiangyin government officer”.This paper tries to make textual research on the author and creation time of Yihe Inscription by tracing its origin and consulting relative documents.
