[Tang Tuo Tang Ji Wang Vajra Sutra]
The Collection of King Vajra Sutra is printed in ink, cut and mounted in the first and second volumes. The first volume is 30 open, and the second volume is 22 open, with each half opening 26.5 cm vertically and 15 cm horizontally. The mounted version has 10 words in each line, and there is no seam between the lines. It can be seen that the inscription is originally divided into several layers, which is convenient for spreading and rolling
The Vajra Sutra is an important classic of Buddhism, which has been translated into six versions since it was introduced into China and the Tang Dynasty. When Emperor Wenzong Li Ang of the Tang Dynasty, the Hongnong Ren Yang [0490] edited and edited this sutra, which is known as the “New Collection of Vajra Sutra” and is known as the “Seven Translations”. Yang Shi wrote his own preface, and invited eight ministers, including Zheng Qin and Liu Gongquan, to inscribe the scriptures and inscribe them on the stone in eight parts, and set them up in the Xingtang Temple in Xanadu (Chang’an). In July of the fourth year of Taihe (830), Yang Chenghe, the governor of the Inner Ministry and the founder of Hongnong County, presented this “sutra” to the emperor. In August, Wenzong compiled it into the “Bibliography of Tibetan Scriptures”, and believed that “the first eight parts of the body, many readers are wrong”, and ordered the book of Wang Xizhi, the general of the right of the Jin Dynasty, to be reprinted, until the spring of the sixth year of Taihe (832)
Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, loved Wang Xizhi’s calligraphy very much, so Wang Zi became the most popular style of calligraphy in the Tang Dynasty. In the third year of Xianheng (672), Shami Hongren of Chang’an Hongfu Temple first adopted the method of “collecting words” to collect Wang Xizhi’s running script and carve it into the tablet of “Preface to the Sacred Religion of the King”, which played a significant role in the popularization of the word. Later, people continued to use the method. This monument is dedicated to the collection of imperial edicts. Mole is excellent and unique. Chen Jiru, the great calligrapher of the Ming Dynasty, even believed that it was more credible than the Preface to the Sacred Religion of the King Collection: “The Preface to the Sacred Religion of the Emperor Wen had more than a thousand words, and Huairen’s collection of the right army books would not be easy. If there were not many Sanskrit characters in the Vajra, there was no need to borrow it, it would be a little less authentic.” The steles of collecting words have become the only precious materials for us to study and study Wang Xizhi’s calligraphy today
This tablet is inscribed by Shao Jian and collected by Xuandu Zhuan of Tang Dynasty. Among them, Tang Xuanxu, who played an important role, had the title of “Cao Cao, the right guard, joined the army before the court invited Lang”. His official rank was low and his life was beyond examination. The original stone of this tablet has been lost early, and there has been a copy of it, while the stone of the Tang Dynasty is as rare as a star and phoenix. Only this copy and the Shanghai Museum copy are known to exist. In addition to the missing inscription, the head and tail of this book are intact. The inscription is dark and deep, and the mouth is as new as new. That is, the small regular script with a diameter of about 1 cm at the end is also clear. Zhang Yansheng named Tang Tuo in his “Record of Rare Tablets”. Xu Hongbao said that it was the same as the paper and ink of the Diamond Sutra of Liu Gongquan unearthed in Dunhuang, and it was also called Tang Tuo
This tablet was originally collected by Wang Yingsun, a treasure house. After it was returned to the Zhu family, Mr. Yi Xuan wrote an inscription in his hand, and wrote five postscripts at the beginning and end of the book. There are “Wei Zhou Yin Seal”, “Tai Sun’s Seal”, “Di Shan Tang Collection Seal”, “Bao Gu Tang”, “Bao Mo Zhai”, “Anyi Song Family Collection”, “Yi Yi Jian Collection”, etc. The literature description mainly includes: Song Ouyang Fei’s “Collection of Ancient Records”, Zhao Mingcheng’s “Jinshi Records”, Chen Si’s “Treasure Carving Series”, Qing Qian Qianyi’s “Youxue Collection”, Ye Yibao’s “Jinshi Records Supplement”, Ye Changchi’s “Yu Shi”, etc.
