吐蕃时期“八大书法家”之说的文献依据及相关问题初探

A Study On The Documentary Basis For"Eight Great Calligraphers"In Tubo Period And Some Related Problems

藏文字产生后,在漫长的历史演变过程中随着文字的厘定及改革,不断完善和规范其书写形式,最终形成了乌金和乌梅两大书法体系。通过对现存吐蕃王室的文告、碑文、摩崖石刻、钟铭以及佛经典籍文献等古藏文文献书写形式和字体的研究,吐蕃时期“八大书法家”(八大乌金体)之说缺乏实物证据和信史依据,是后人虚构所为。在此基础上,挖掘藏文史料及书法理论为主的文献,探究了这一说法产生的文献来源,提出该说法是13世纪之后随着藏文史书及书法理论规范化而慢慢产生的,是后期藏族学者及书法家为书法理论的完善和美化而杜撰的一种之说。

After the emergence of Tibetan characters,with the determination and reform of it in the long historical evolution process,the writing form was constantly improved and standardized,and finally come into being the two major calligraphy systems of Dbu-can and Dbu-med.Through the study of the writing forms and fonts of ancient Tibetan literature such as proclamation,tablet inscriptions,cliff inscriptions,bell inscriptions,Buddhist classics and other ancient Tibetan documents,it can be seen the theory of"Eight Great calligraphers"in the Tubo period lacks physical evidence and historical basis,and is invented by later generations.On this basis,the Tibetan historical materials and the main literature of calligraphy theory are excavated,the source of the literature of this statement is explored,and it is proposed that this statement is slowly come out with the Tibetan history books and the standardization of calligraphy theory after the 13th century,and is a kind of theory made up by Tibetan scholars and calligrapher in the later period for the perfection and beautification of calligraphy theory.
