石刻地位的歷史改變

Historical changes in the status of stone inscriptions

載體是人類話語與思想的承載者，不同的時代，有不同話語的呈現方式。在中國，從陶器到甲骨、青銅、石刻、絹帛、簡牘、紙張，各種不同的載體，反應不同時代對於物質與思想的掌控力度。雖然不如簡牘與紙張方便，青銅與石刻對於中國古代的歷史記載，卻具有「重量級」的功能。從現存金石資料分析，可以發現金石作為銘刻傳遞的工具，大致以秦漢為界。秦以前以青銅為主要載體，秦以後石刻的地位逐漸上升。本文即欲透過對於現存金石發展狀況的研究，找出金石在社會中扮演的角色，及其在歷史上的改變機制，並分析金石在社會中的功能。本文分成「國家形成與青銅器銘文的出現與興起」、「禮制崩壞與青銅銘文的衰微」、「大一統時代的出現與石刻地位的提升」、「平民皇帝與新士族對石刻發展的影響」四個部分進行講述。在第三部分及第四部分主要以《藝風堂金石文字目》為分析之資料來源。
