Research on Officials Appeared in Nanjing City Wall Bricks Inscriptions-From the Prospective of Mutual Proof Between Bricks Inscriptions and Local Records
Nanjing city wall bricks inscriptions preserved the names and titles of many oficials during the Hongwu period of Ming Dynasty,and serve as an open-air database of historical references.However,since the Ming and Qing Dynasty,the academic circle had insufficient research and utilization of these,the four cases of researches we have seen were not done consciously and systematically.This article includes information of altogether 261 officials,among which 74 were recorded in local records,and 187 were not recorded.We further selected 31 officials,and confirmed,examined,and amended information such as their names and titles from the perspectives of mutual proof between bricks inscriptions and local records.These achievements not only made up omissions in recordings of early Ming Dynasty officials in local records of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River,but also partially completed proofreading and amendments to graphic records of major Nanjing city wall bricks inscriptions,and further opened up new directions for the expansion of Hongwu bricks inscriptions studies and the connotations of the Yangtze River culture research.
