太原境内的民间石匠数量较多,这些工匠工作的地域范围主要分布在太原周边地区,其中以古交市、娄烦县、晋源区、尖草坪区这四处为中心。除了本县石匠外,还有崞县和稷山等地的外来石匠。多数石匠间的关系为兄弟、父子或师徒,有部分石匠参与多个地区的活动。碑碣的题材内容因地而异,大致分为记事类、墓志铭类和其他类。文章通过对元代后太原地区的石匠刻工进行历史回顾及深入研究,探讨了其留下的历史、科学与艺术价值。

There are a large number of folk stonemasons who mainly work in the surrounding areas of Taiyuan.Their workplaces often around four centers of Gujiao City,Loufan County,Jinyuan District,and Jiancaoping District to carry out their activities.In addition to the local stonemasons of the county,there were also foreign stonemasons from Guo County and Jishan County.Many of the stonemasons were brothers,fathers and sons,or teachers and apprentices.Some of them were involved in activities in more than one area.The content of stone tablets varies from place to place and is broadly divided into the categories of memorials,epitaphs and others.This paper discusses the historical,scientific and artistic value of the stone masons in Taiyuan area after Yuan Dynasty through the historical review and in-depth study.
