略谈长沙市博物馆收藏的清同治十三年何绍基墓志

A Brief Discussion of the Stone Table Epitaph of He Shaoji in the 13th Year of the Tongzhi Reign of the Qing Dynasty in the Collection of Changsha Municipal Museum

2003年长沙市博物馆接收了一批由长沙郊区文管所移交的珍贵文物,其中含有一块'何绍基墓志'。由于何绍基墓已经被盗,因此这块墓志显得格外重要。墓志材料为青石,长64.5、宽44、厚3.5厘米,共34行,667字,详细记述了何绍基的生平事迹以及所葬位置等。本文通过对何绍基墓以及墓志情况的简单介绍,使人们能够对何绍基的生平经历有一个更为直观的认识,并对墓志背后所蕴含的相关信息进行简要分析。值得一提的是,墓志用了100余字专门描述了何绍基墓的埋葬位置,这其中就牵涉了风水问题以及家族墓葬制度等。除此之外也出现了将何绍基告终之年写错的情况,这或许是无意之举吧。

In 2003,Changsha Municipal Museum received a batch of precious cultural relics transferred by Changsha Suburban Administration of Cultural Relics,among which is a stone tablet bearing"the epitaph of He Shaoji".As the tomb of He Shaoji has been looted,this tablet becomes particularly important.The tablet,made of bluestone 64.5 cm long,44 cm wide and3.5 cm thick,bears an epitaph of 667 Chinese characters in 34 lines,which records in detail the life of He Shaoji and the location of his tomb.This paper,through a brief introduction of He Shaoji and his epitaph,enables people to have a more intuitive understanding of He Shaoji’s life and gives a brief analysis of the related information contained in the epitaph.It is worth mentioning that the epitaph uses more than 100 words to specifically describe the location of He’s tomb,covering such issues as fengshui and clan burial system.Apart from these,there also appeared in the epitaph the error concerning the year of the death of He Shaoji,which might be an unintentional mistake.
