禹王碑辨读

Identifying Yuwang Tablet

相传禹王碑是夏禹治水成功后亲自撰写刻立在南岳衡山的。禹王碑上镌刻难以辨识的 77个字符 ,千百年来人们不断对其进行探究。禹王碑被辗转摹刻在黄河上下、大江南北。禹王碑的现世和流传是我国水文化史上一桩奇特而又耐人寻味的现象。

Yuwang tablet, according to a historical record, was written, engraved and erected by Yuwang himself on the Hengshan Mountain, --the Southern Mountain in China, after the successful completion of the river and watercourse regulation. For thousands of years, the tablet that bears 77 symbols hard to be identified has been studied. The Yuwang inscription was spread to the upper and lower reaches of Yellow River and to the south and north of the Yangtze River. Its existence and spread indicates a fantastic and thought-provoking phenomena in the water cultural history of China. The spirit of the Chinese ancestor's struggle against nature expressed by it is eternal.
