笔者有幸工作在西安碑林,每每徜徉其中,在默默赏读一方方贞石的同时,也曾留意过碑末并不显眼的刻工署名。对于刻工这一劳动者群体,古今学者们是作过关注的,自清末以来,曾有清·叶昌炽《语石》第六卷、清·黄锡蕃《刻碑姓名录》、民国·阚铎《金石考工录》、曾毅公《石刻考工录》等有限的几部著作和路远等所撰《西安碑林藏石所见历代刻工名录》①等文。但由于年代相去久远、资料缺乏,这些著作和文章多为仅限于对刻工姓名、籍贯、官职的著录,而并无更多关于他们情况的介绍。 I was fortunate enough to work in Beilin, Xi’an, often wandering among them, while quietly reading a square Zhen Chen, also noticed the end of the monument is not conspicuous engraving work name. Since the end of the Qing Dynasty, Qing Chang Ye Chi “Stone” Volume VI, Qing Huang Xifan “carved inscription list”, Republic of China Kanduo “stone examination Recorded ”, Zeng Yigong“ stone carving records ”and a limited number of books by Lu Yuan and other“ Xi’an Beilin Tibetan stone see the list of carved records ”① text. However, due to their long history and lack of information, most of these works and articles are limited to the recording of carved names, places of origin and official posts, and there is no more introduction about their situation.
