The compilation and research of monuments has been a hot topic in academic circles in recent years，A large number of related results are published every year。In terms of bonus bet365 from the Han, Wei and Six Dynasties，Statistics of Mao Yuanming's "Annotation of Tablet bonus bet365 of Han, Wei and Six Dynasties·General Catalog" (Threadbound Book Company, 2008 edition)，A total of 2571 parties；Japanese scholar Tomoshi Kajiyama's "Comprehensive Catalog of the Locations of the Epitaphs of the Sui Dynasty in the Northern Dynasties" (Jigu Academy 2013 edition) counts a total of 1,927 square meters of epitaphs of the Sui Dynasty in the Northern Dynasties (including epitaph covers)；Statistics from my humble work "Index of Steles of Han, Wei, Six Dynasties and Sui Dynasties" (China Social Sciences Press, 2019 Edition)，As of the end of 2017，Han, Wei, Six Dynasties and Sui dynasties (including tombstones、Epitaph、Gide Monument、monument monument) 4389 square meters in total。In addition，693 square meters of bricks made by prisoners of the Eastern Han Dynasty (excessive damage will not be included)、Fake (including suspected fake) bonus bet365 248 squares；Japanese scholar Yasuki Kazawazawa's article "Overview of the Compilation and Research History of Epitaphs of the Tang Dynasty in China in Recent Years" (Eighth Series of "History of Sui, Tang, Liao, Song, Jin, and Yuan Dynasties"，Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House 2018 Edition) Statistics，As of the end of 2015，Tang Dynasty epitaph (including epitaph cover) reaches 12523 square meters。Of course，There are still some omissions。How many square meters are the tombstones of the Tang Dynasty?？How many bonus bet365 were there on statues in the Middle Ages (Eastern Han Dynasty to Tang Dynasty)？We don’t have a rough idea yet。Visible，Systematic academic cleanup of bonus bet365 is necessary，Compiling an index of monuments is undoubtedly one of the methods of academic organization。However，There are only a handful of related index works，How to compile the index、There is still room for improvement in form and content。

　The bonus bet365 form is divided into two categories

A comprehensive review bonus bet365 index works on medieval epitaphs since the 20th century，The compilation forms are roughly divided into two categories: pure text compilation and compilation in simplified form。

，1990 updated edition) is represented，Indicate the author of the cited book after the entry in each monument、Name、Volume、page，It is relatively easy to find books。But，This is limited to indexing bonus bet365 with bonus bet365 and bonus bet365，Other plates、The description of the monument is unknown；The cited books are mainly epigraphic documents，Collection not included，There are also omissions in local chronicles and epigraphic documents。bonus bet365 on monuments compiled by some collection sites are often in plain text form，For example, Japan's "Catalogue of Chinese Stone Rubbings Collection of the Calligraphy and Culture Center of Shukutoku University" (Shukutoku University 2009 Edition)、"Catalogue of Epitaph Rubbings of Past Dynasties Collected by Peking University Library" compiled by Hu Haifan and Tang Yan (2013 edition of Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House), etc.。Although this type of work mainly introduces the collection of bonus bet365，But there is relevant literature description information under specific entries，In fact, it is also an index。It’s just that the number of monuments in the collection is limited for researchers after all，But a few rare rubbings may be hidden inside。

The latter is represented in mainland China by Mao Yuanming's "Annotations on bonus bet365 of the Han, Wei and Six Dynasties·General Catalog"，The book contains all types of bonus bet365，But there are many omissions。Two books: Tomoshi Kajiyama's "Comprehensive Catalog of the Locations of the Epitaphs of the Northern Dynasty and Sui Dynasty" and Yasuki Ikazawa's "New Comprehensive Catalog of the Locations of the Epitaphs of the Tang Dynasty" (Meiji University East Asian Stone Carvings and Cultural Relics Research Institute 2017 Edition)，Generally, the main citation objects are epigraphic documents published in modern times，Also covers the general collection。For example，The previous book quoted "The Complete Antiquity, Three Dynasties, Qin, Han, Three Kingdoms and Six Dynasties" edited by Yan Kejun (Zhonghua Book Company 1958 edition)，The latter book quotes the "New Compilation of Complete Tang Dynasty Literature" edited by Zhou Shaoliang (Jilin Literature and History Publishing House, 2000 edition)、"Supplement to the Complete Tang Dynasty" compiled and edited by Chen Shangjun (2005 edition of Zhonghua Book Company), etc.，Relatively easy to use。However，In terms of the selection of cited documents, the two books are generally modern epigraphy books，Those who value recorded texts and illustrations，But some books on bonus bet365 and bonus bet365 and postscripts are ignored，local chronicles are not included in its scope。

　　Improving the compilation bonus bet365 index of monuments

As mentioned above，A large number of bonus bet365 in the medieval period，There are many types of bonus bet365。Therefore，When compiling an index of monuments, you must fully cite books、Complete collection of monument entries，No easy task。The following is based on personal experience only，Talking about some superficial views。

First，Compilation of classification index。A huge number of bonus bet365 in the medieval period，Especially the Tang Dynasty bonus bet365，It is difficult to exhaustively collect and index。If a classified index can be compiled according to form or content，such as epitaph index、Tombstone Index、Index of statue bonus bet365, etc.，Undoubtedly more feasible in operation。It is also necessary to compile epigraphic indexes for some special documents，Like local chronicles，From Song and Yuan Dynasties to Ming and Qing Dynasties、Republic of China，Always under editing，The "Yi Wen Zhi" or "Ji Shi Zhi" in the local chronicles collect many bonus bet365，It is especially necessary to clean it up。Some bonus bet365 recorded in local chronicles，Rarely mentioned in other documents，For example, the Tang Dynasty's "County Magistrate Zong Xizhong Qu Si Stele" included in Volume 16 of Qianlong's "Chengcheng County Chronicles" (see Volume 22 of "Collection of Chinese Local Chronicles·Shaanxi Prefecture and County Chronicles")、"The Prince of the Tang Dynasty Goes to Think of the Monument" collected in Volume 6 of Qianlong's "Pucheng County Chronicles" (see Volume 26 of "Collection of Chinese Local Chronicles·Shaanxi Prefecture and County Chronicles"), etc.。Another example is "New Collection of Historical Materials on Stone Carvings" (four volumes in total，100 volumes in total) is a large series that collects stone carving documents，Published in four batches by Taiwan Xinwenfeng Publishing Company，Due to the large volume，Not many people have read the whole book。If it is possible to compile an index for the monuments included in this series，It will undoubtedly provide great convenience for using this series of books。

Second，Indexed book information，Is it necessary to classify based on the content of the literature provided？Today’s stone carving indexes mainly provide bibliographies，Less involved in the literature content。When we use these indexes，If you lack a detailed understanding of epigraphic documents，It is often difficult to understand from the index bibliography what specific information the document provides about the monument，What is the picture board、Recorded text，Style title and postscript？If the cited books can be properly classified (pictured descriptions、Recording and recording、bonus bet365 and postscripts on the stele)，Or indicate relevant information (such as "picture", "text", "postscript" and "heading")，Definitely easier for scholars to use，It can also further enhance the academic value of the index。

　Third，Can the index reflect the academic history of unilateral monuments？If the bibliographic information of a certain monument can be detailed into the title bonus bet365 monument、Inscription and postscript、Recorded text、The publication of rubbings and even archaeological excavation reports、Some relevant textual research articles by modern people，This is undoubtedly an academic history review of unilateral monuments。General scholars rely on this index，Can generally understand the academic frontiers about unilateral monuments。This is not only beneficial to future academic research，At the same time, duplication of research can be avoided。

　　Compile an index of pseudo-engraved bonus bet365

The number of forged (including suspected forged) bonus bet365 from the Han Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty cannot be underestimated；It is still unknown how many fake bonus bet365 there were in the Tang Dynasty。Therefore，It is very necessary to systematically compile an index of fake (including suspected fake) monuments。This move can bring convenience to academic research，It can also provide clues for future documentation。Previous stone carving indexes generally had two methods for dealing with pseudo-engraved bonus bet365。

First，Separately mark the fake engravings included。For example，Mao Yuanming's "Annotation of Stele bonus bet365 of the Han, Wei and Six Dynasties·General Catalog" is under the entry of the unilateral inscription，Directly mark the words "fake" or "suspected"，To remind scholars。The same is true for some monumental books，For example, Wang Liyou's "Famous Collection of Stone Carvings" ("New Collection of Historical Materials on Stone Carvings", Volume 2, Series 2，Xinwenfeng Publishing Company 1979 edition)、Gu Xieguang's "A Collection of Ancient Records" ("New Collection of Historical Materials on Stone Carvings", Volume 37, Series 3，Xinwenfeng Publishing Company 1986 edition) etc.。

Second，Centralize the catalog of forged (including suspected forged) bonus bet365。For example，Gu Xieguang's "New Collection of Ancient Chronicles" ("New Collection of Stone Engraving Historical Materials" Volume 2, Volume 18) has "with various catalogs of forgeries"；Guo Yutang authored "Forged Stone bonus bet365"，Unfortunately not published yet，The manuscript is included in Zhao Zhenhua's "Research on Ancient Inscription Documents in Luoyang" (Sanqin Publishing House, 2009 edition)；Ma Ziyun、Shi Anchang's "Appraisal of Stone bonus bet365" (Guangxi Normal University Press, 1993 edition) also comes with a catalog of "New and Old Forged Stone bonus bet365 of Various Generations"；Zhao Chao's "Compilation of Epitaphs of Han, Wei, Southern and Northern Dynasties" (Tianjin Ancient Books Publishing House, 2008 edition) is after the opening table of contents，Attached is a "catalog of forgeries (including suspected forgeries)"。

The treatment of pseudo-engraved bonus bet365 in the above epigraphic documents，Pros and cons。The advantage is that it allows readers to know the authenticity of the inscription at a glance，But there are also certain disadvantages，That is, we cannot know for sure which epigraphic books contain these fake (including doubtful) bonus bet365。When we use these books，If you neglect to check item by item，It is possible to cite fake engravings，Thus causing errors in citing documents。Therefore, it is necessary to compile a separate index for fake (including suspected fake) bonus bet365，And make certain changes in the editing style。My initial attempt is，Detailed description of fake engraved books，Mark the treatises that are judged to be fake (including doubtful) bonus bet365，So that readers can be alert when using these books，It also provides evidence to eliminate forgery when these books are reprinted in the future。

Doubtful bonus bet365 are bonus bet365 that have not been finally confirmed by the academic community，This is one of the objects of future research，Because we cannot be completely sure that our past judgments are accurate，What’s more, “doubtful” does not mean “fake”。Although some bonus bet365 have been judged as fake，Those who later published archaeological excavation reports。For example，The "Selected Collection of Epitaphs of the Northern Wei Dynasty Unearthed in Luoyang" (Science Press, 2001 edition) edited by Zhu Liang once judged the "Epitaph of Lu Ren" in the second year of Yong'an in the Northern Wei Dynasty (529) as a fake (record number "Fake Engraving 44")。Later，Luoyang City Cultural Relics Working Team issued an archaeological excavation report "Excavation of Two Northern Wei Dynasty Tombs in Jili District, Luoyang City, Henan Province" ("Archaeology" Issue 9, 2011)，Mentioned the excavation of "Lü Ren Epitaph"。This proves，The "Selected Collection of Epitaphs of the Northern Wei Dynasty Unearthed in Luoyang" incorrectly judged the "Epitaph of Lu Ren"。Although this kind of example is relatively rare，But also explain from the side，Academic research should not completely blindly follow the judgment of predecessors。

Overview，Compiling the bonus bet365 of monuments is a basic work for Jiahui Academy，It’s definitely not a simple “manual work”，The editor needs to have certain academic skills。This way，Creative ideas can only come from editing，It can also correct various errors in previous document descriptions in a timely manner。
