The Historical Origin of Temple Inscriptions

The history of temple inscriptions can be traced back to ancient times, which is related to the ancient people's attention to doors. In ancient times, the gate was called "Hengmen", which was the symbol of territory. When the tribe developed into a country, the clan leader turned the family into a country, and the sign on the horizontal door was simplified into words and became the country name.

Since the reunification of Qin Shihuang, the real plaque has been promulgated and implemented as an important national system. There are eight styles of calligraphy in Qin dynasty, namely, big seal script, small seal script, seal cutting, worm script, copying, official script, dead script and official script.

The plaque rose in the pre-Qin period, and after two thousand years of precipitation and polishing, it became a self-contained branch of China traditional culture. The plaque is called plaque for short, and the ancient "plaque" wrote "Ping". The explanation of "Bian" in Xu Shen's Shuo Wen Jie Zi in the Han Dynasty is: "Bian, tie also, comes from household registration. Those who register are also articles of the portal. " That is, it points out the original function of plaque as "architectural naming"

Therefore, the inscriptions on temples are a very important part of the naming, marking and decoration of temples by the ancients, which reflects the ancients' attention to temples and respect for Buddhism. At the same time, stone inscriptions are also an important part of temple culture, adding a strong cultural atmosphere and historical atmosphere to the temple.
