《凉州刺史陶使君纪功碑》的发现与初步研究

Discovery and Preliminary Study of the‘Liangzhou Cishi Taoshijun Jigongbei(Liangzhou Governor Tao Shijun Memorial Stele)’

《凉州刺史陶使君纪功碑》,位于新疆维吾尔自治区哈密市伊州区北50千米的焕彩沟内,是在《焕彩沟汉碑》碑身新发现的汉代铭文,也是新疆地区发现的第五块汉代碑刻,记载了东汉某任凉州刺史陶弘的有关情况。由于时代久远,岩面自然风化剥落严重,碑文残泐较多。但借助计算机图像处理,仍能识别部分铭文,该碑和《敦煌太守裴岑纪功碑》性质相同,属于纪功刻石,大概刊刻于汉廷第四次驻屯伊吾时期。

Located at Huancaigou in Hami,Xinjiang,the memorial stele of Tao Shijun,the governor of Liangzhou,is a newly discovered stele of the Han Dynasty and provides important inscription information.It is also the fifth Han-Dynasty stele that has been found in Xinjiang.Its content is primarily about Tao Hong,a prefectural governor of Liangzhou during the Eastern Han Dynasty who has not been indicated in official texts.Due to its long history,the rock surface has been seriously weathered and peeled off,resulting in the unrecognizability of many characters.However,with the help of computer image processing,we can still recognize part of the inscriptions.Functionally,this stele is the same as the memorial stele of Pei Cen,the governor of Dunhuang,for the acknowledgement of tomb occupant’s merits and virtue.The stele was probably made and built during the fourth garrison of the Han Dynasty in Yiwu.
