有关唐代陶质官署印的性质问题争议颇多,主要有随葬论、替代品论和宗教活动论三种观点。笔者在辨析的基础上,从合法性、出土地点、州县设立或复置时间、制作工艺、与铜质官署印的吻合程度、印文风格及印体物理特征等诸多方面判断,唐代陶质官署印极有可能是用于制作正式铜质官署印的印母。 There are a lot of controversies about the nature of the official seal of the officials in the Tang Dynasty, mainly on the theories of funeral, substitution and religious activities. On the basis of discrimination, the author judges many aspects such as legitimacy, place of excavated place, setting or resetting time of county and county, manufacturing process, degree of agreement with bronze government office printing, Indian style and physical characteristics of Indian body. India is most likely to be used as a printing official for the official Indian government.
