End of November 2018,I received several pictures of cliff inscriptions written in black ink from friends。Although the picture is not clear enough,But I can still recognize a few Chinese characters and Mongolian,The Mongolian writing in it clearly has the characteristics of Uighur Mongolian writing in the 13th and 14th centuries。This is very precious for the Uighur Mongolian script which has very few early written materials。So,I started to search for the source mobile bet365 picture,Get in touch with the photographer soon - Tegus Bayar from the Guangxing Police Station mobile bet365 Forest Public Security Bureau of Keshiketeng Banner, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia,Going to Guangxingyuan Village, Zhirui Town for the first field trip in early December。Going to the site for the second time in May 2019 to conduct a detailed investigation,Another Yi Cheng group in the village discovered the ink inscription again。Two expeditions discovered Uighur Mongolian script、Chinese、Tibetan,Suspected inscriptions in multiple languages ​​such as Khitan or Jurchen script,And nearly 30 unpublished ruins such as religious symbols and portraits,This is the first time in the country。The two inscriptions in Guangxingyuan Village and Yicheng Group are connected by a small river and canyon called Zaohuo,According to the suggestions of local scholars,We will temporarily refer to these two inscriptions as the "Zaohuo River Inscription Group"。

The Zaohuo River inscription cluster displays multiple languages、Multiple symbols,Has a certain scale,It is a microcosm mobile bet365 situation of cliff inscriptions in the entire Daxinganling area。Judging from the age and historical information revealed in these inscriptions,Most of them were formed between Kublai Khan and Yuan Dynasty,Closely related to the political situation in the northern grasslands in the early Yuan Dynasty,Contains important historical and cultural information,The value of its historical data is obvious。These inscriptions are useful for studying dynasties、Nationality、Interaction between religions,The spread of Eurasian steppe civilization and the politics mobile bet365 Mongol Empire and Yuan Dynasty、Culture provides new historical materials and new perspectives,It also gives new meaning to local history and culture,It can be said to be a precious historical and cultural heritage。

The Guangxingyuan cliff inscription was found in Guangxingyuan Village, Zhirui Town, more than 40 kilometers away from Jingpeng Town, the seat mobile bet365 Heshiketeng Banner government,Sit on the bank of a small river more than 100 meters away from Guangxing Police Station on a mountain cliff facing southwest。Due to natural erosion and weathering,Most mobile bet365 inscriptions are black and faded,Almost invisible to the naked eye,Splashing water on the surface will make the ink traces in the rock appear。The first inspection was in December,The weather is unusually cold,The water poured on it freezes instantly,The black ink display effect is not ideal。After preliminary investigation,Found more than a dozen inscriptions in different shades of ink,Including Uighur Mongolian、Chinese、Pasi Bawen、Suspected Khitan or Jurchen writing and portraits,Concentrated at 1 to 2 meters above the ground、A rock surface about 10 meters long。These rock faces are of different sizes,Between the cracks or bumps in the cliff。During the second investigation,Traces of Uighur Mongolian inscriptions were also found on the relatively flat rock wall 5-6 meters apart on the left。Inferring from the condition that it is flat and can accommodate more text,This is the best place for writing,Should be the first choice for writing inscriptions。But because of its gentleness and smoothness,Easily washed away by wind and rain,Influenced by the modern people writing slogans or signs,Falling off and disappearing,Unable to obtain valid information。After two investigations,We found nearly 20 inscribed remains in Guangxingyuan Village。

Another inscription found during the second investigation is located on the mountain cliff facing south on the north side mobile bet365 Yichen Formation, about 10 kilometers away from Guangxingyuan Village,Also provided by Teguzbayar,The first survey was conducted in May 2019 with the assistance mobile bet365 local publicity department and cultural department。Newly discovered Uighur Mongolian ink script during investigation、Chinese、Tibetan、Pasi Bawen、Relics of multiple inscriptions and symbols such as Tibetan and Mongolian scripts and crosses。Zaohuohe inscription group mainly involves the following contents。

  Uighur Mongolian mobile bet365.Uighur Mongolian evolved from Sogdian,Academic circles generally believe that the Mongols borrowed Uighur script from the 12th to 13th centuries,Formation of Uighur-style Mongolian script。Most mobile bet365 inscriptions on the Zaohuo River are in Uighur Mongolian script,A total of about 10 sites were found in the two places,Although the overall weathering and fading are serious,But there are more words that can be distinguished。Among them, the content mobile bet365 Uighur Mongolian inscription in Guangxingyuan Village is different from the traditional one to the simple one,Mostly contains "what year and month and who came to write here,May you have good luck and prosperity" and other formatted content。Among them,Except for some names of people and places that require further research,There are also chronological words such as "Year of Rooster", "Year of Tiger", "Year of Ox" and "Year of Pig"。Although the chronology mobile bet365 twelve zodiac signs is single,Unable to determine exact year,But the Chinese inscription provides reference chronological information,makes it possible for us to further speculate on the age when the inscription was written。A Uighur Mongolian inscription found in the Yichen Group,is the inscription with the most text found so far,But the handwriting is blurred,Difficult to identify。Overall,Two Uighur Mongolian inscriptions clearly have the characters and writing characteristics mobile bet365 13th to 14th centuries,The writer is skilled in penmanship,Have certain calligraphy literacy。This is the first time that Uighur Mongolian cliff inscriptions have been discovered in the Keshiketeng Banner area,Not only enriches the original text database,And it has great historical, language and cultural value。

  Phasiba mobile bet365.Basiba text was created by Kublai Khan mobile bet365 Yuan Dynasty and his imperial teacher Basiba was promulgated in 1269,Mainly used for court official documents,called "国字"。A Mongolian inscription on Pasiba was found in Guangxingyuan Village,Only bi remains now mobile bet365 bei (written) and other small amounts of writing,A commonly used word at the end of inscription documents and so on,It can be inferred that the original text is a complete inscription。4 found in Yicheng Group,One of them is the writing style mobile bet365 county king,Only the first few lines remain,Can correspond to the literal translation mobile bet365 Yuan Dynasty "Emperor Fuyinli",Nangjia’s true □□□ decree is for me”。"Nang Jiazhen" should be the "eldest princess of Lu" who Kublai Khan married to Wanhu of Hongji's tribe,Related to the characters appearing in the Chinese inscription,Can provide reliable basis for inferring the age mobile bet365 inscription and related historical research。The other three places are incomplete Phasiba alphabet and some scattered handwriting,It should be the practice and popularization of Pasiba text,For example, the spelling mobile bet365 word "元" is different from the later fixed writing method,It is of great significance for the study of Pasiba text。

  Chinese mobile bet365.Four Chinese inscriptions have been discovered in Guangxingyuan Village,Mainly in regular script,Correct font,Skilled writing skills。But due to the peeling off mobile bet365 rock surface,Causing damage to handwriting,Poor coherence,Needs further exploration and research。Fortunately, it is within the range that can be identified,Discovered historical figures and historical chronological clues。"[Na]Chen's Consort" appears in an inscription,That is, the name mobile bet365 lord of ten thousand households in the Hongji tribe,It is Meng Ge Khan who conquered the Song Dynasty、The heroes during Kublai Khan’s accession to the throne and his conquest of Ali Buge。The signature of "the fifteenth year mobile bet365 Yuan Dynasty" (1278) was found in Yicheng Group,Similar to Nachen’s consort’s life,It coincides with the life of Princess "Nangjiazhen" in the inscription of Pasiba text,It also coincided with the rebellion of King Xiliji in the northern region mobile bet365 Yuan Dynasty and the rebellion of Hongji's tribe, led by Nuoyan's troops,Kublai Khan summoned the generals from the southern expedition to return north,Mobilize Mongolia、Korea、Jurchen、The Han army,In the historical event of counterinsurgency。Judging from the geographical location mobile bet365 inscription,Everyone hints that this period of history is closely related,The value of historical data is extremely important。

 Tibetan mobile bet365.3 Tibetan mobile bet365 found in the Yichen Group,All belong to Buddhist mantras。Two of them are single Tibetan texts containing six-character mantras。Another place is a combination of Mongolian and Tibetan script,Tibetan writing "mobile bet365 a‘ hūmobile bet365” Three-Word Vajra Mantra,The Uighur Mongolian is "oom ma ni bad me qung" six-character mantra。Yuan Dynasty Tibetan、Uighur、The remains mobile bet365 six-character mantra stone carvings in Pasiba script have been found both at home and abroad,There are also bilingual or multilingual people among them,The most famous stone carving mobile bet365 six-character mantra in Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang。This discovery belongs to the early Mongol and Yuan Dynasty relics,Provides physical information for studying the development of Tibetan Buddhism in the early Yuan Dynasty and its influence on court affairs。

  Nestorian mobile bet365.The Yichen group found a thick cross symbol drawn in black ink four meters above the ground。The four tips are slightly thicker,The black dots are highlighted at equal distances from the center intersection of each line,Can form a central circle after connection。This must be the Nestorian Cross mobile bet365 Yuan Dynasty,It is also the only cross written on a cliff found in China so far。Nestorianism,That is, Nestorian Christianity,In Wanggu during the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties、Kled、Naiman、Popular among tribes such as Menerqi and others,The Golden Family also has some believers。With the expansion mobile bet365 Mongol Empire,Some areas that believe in Nestorian Christianity are included in the territory,As a result, its missionaries were widely active in various parts mobile bet365 Yuan Dynasty,Many cities have formed living areas for believers,In the ancient city of Alimari, Xinjiang、Aolunsumu Ancient City and Chifeng, Inner Mongolia、There are remains of cross stone tombstones in Quanzhou and other places。His missionaries or followers are called "Yeli Kewen",With Buddhism、Taoism、Islam is one mobile bet365 four major religions that exempts and exempts taxes,There is quite a lot of Uighur Mongolian script、Chinese、The inscriptions, inscriptions and historical documents related to the Pasiba script remain to this day。The discovery mobile bet365 cross written in ink,Enriched the physical materials of Nestorianism in the early Yuan Dynasty,Help promote related research。

  mobile bet365 and Jurchen texts.A dense text inscription that looks like Chinese cursive was found in Guangxingyuan Village。At this stage, it cannot be determined whether it is Jurchen script or Khitan script。The rise mobile bet365 Mongols in the 13th century was largely influenced by the Liao Dynasty、Gold、Political and cultural influence of Song Dynasty,In particular, some Khitans and Jurchens are "same Mongolians",Played an important role in various periods of Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties,Although he has withdrawn from the political stage,But its traditional culture has been preserved and continued for a considerable period of time。Yuan Dynasty Uighur Mongolian、Chinese、It is rare to see historical and cultural relics in which Pasiba script and Khitan or Jurchen script coexist,This inscription is extremely precious。

Since 2017,We inspected and studied Khitan and Uighur Mongolian cliff inscriptions in Aershan City,In 2019, during an inspection in Xing'an League, many cliff inscriptions in multiple languages ​​were found,In addition to the multi-lingual cliff inscriptions found in Hexigten Banner,The scope of these inscriptions covers the valleys and ancient roads in the central and southern sections mobile bet365 Daxingan Mountains,Obviously regional,It can be called the group of cliff inscriptions in the Daxinganling area。The group of multi-lingual cliff inscriptions in the Daxinganling area is beginning to take shape,Also shows unique style。The discovery mobile bet365 Zaohuohe inscription group has important academic significance,Not only can it change the long-term shortage of local resources related to cliff inscriptions on the Eurasian grasslands,And it is expected to open up a new field of research on multi-lingual cliff inscriptions in Daxinganling。
