A More Analysis of the Tang'Eulogy on An Gong's Governance'by Calligrapher Fang Lin's Wife,ne'e Gao
The stele bearing the text of'The Eulogy for the Revered An's Good Governance(安,Ān Gōng Měi Zhèng Sòng),attributed to Fang Lin's Wife,née Gao,Calligrapher of the Tang Dynasty,became a concern among the academia once again by the mid-Qing dynasty after its original was missing during the late Ming period.Miu Quansun of the late Qing period proved this stele to be the Jingxin Temple Stele(净信寺碑)standing in the Jingxin Temple,Taigu District,Jinzhong City,Shanxi Province,and issued his point in The Present List of Steles in'Jinshi Lu'(<金石录>今存碑目).It is analyzed in the thesis by the field investigation that this stele is placed,front and back sides reversed,in the east stele gallery of Jingxin Temple in Taigu since the mid-Qing period.The traditional epigraphic scholars concern the rubbings more than the original text on the stele,which has caused some errors and disorders in transcription.This thesis goes with re-recording the text of the stele based on the Compilation of Shanxi Stone Inscriptions(山右石刻丛,Shan Yòu Shí Kè Cóng Biān)and other literature to probe into the making of the inscribed stele,coming to the conclusion that it was the local elite responsible for the construction of'Eulogy for the Revered An's Good Governance'well-versed in the inscribed stele style popular in the Tang dynasty that made Madam Gao,the wife of Fang Lin,the inscriber of the stele.
