李华《故翰林学士李君墓志并序》辨伪

Identifying the Falsehood of the Text of Li Hua's The Epigraph and Its Preface To the Tomb of Academician Li Bai

今存李白集载有署名李华的《故翰林学士李君墓志并序》一文 ,列于碑志之首。本文通过辨析认为 :这是一篇伪作 ,始出于北宋元丰三年七月之后。理由是 :一、李白墓元和十二年由龙山迁往青山 ,范传正所撰《李公新墓碑》因李白没有墓志而感叹 ,说明原无李华所撰墓志。二、此墓志称“姑熟东南 ,青山北址 ,有唐高士李白之墓”。前二句所指正是青山李白新墓的方位 ,后一句既称“有墓” ,意在青山墓出现之后。故而此墓志当在范传正迁墓之后撰写。三、南宋陈振孙的“家藏本”《李翰林集》是目前所知最早收进李华墓志的版本 ,此本刻于北宋末期。

Li Hua's The Epigraph and Its Preface To the Tomb of Academician Li Bai is seen in The Collected Works of Li Bai, and is for the present placed at the head of all the monumental tablets. But, this text identifies that it began to be falsified after July the third year of the Era Yuanfeng in the Northern Song dynasty for the reasons: First, Li Bai's tomb was moved from Dragon Mountain to Qingshan in the twelfth year of the Era Yuanhe, while Mr. Fan Chuanzheng (范传正), author of the New Tomb Tablet for Master Li, felt sorry for there was no epigraph on Li Bai's tomb. It proves no Li Hua's epigraph existing before. Secondly, Li Hua's epigraph implies Li Bai's tomb to be situated in Qingshan. It proves that this epigraph emerged after Mr. Fan Chuanzheng's writings of the New Tomb Tablet for Master Li. Thirdly, Li Hua's epigraph was first seen in Chen Zhensun's 'homely preserved edition' of Academician Li Bai's Works in the Southern Song, which was engraved in the late period of Northern Song.
