Wei sanzi shijing jilu
Wei sanzi shijing jilu (simplified Chinese: 魏三字石经集录; traditional Chinese: 魏三字⽯經集錄; Wade–Giles: Wei san-tzu shih-ching chi-lu; roughly: Collection and Documentation of the Three-Character Stone Classics of the Wei Dynasty) is a collection of rubbings of Wei Stone Classics first published in 1937 by Sun Haibo 孙海波 (1911–1972) in Beijing by the Archaeological Society. The book contains photolithographic reproductions of available rubbings. After the publication of Sun's book, additional rubbings and fragments of the stone inscriptions were discovered.[1]
The book is organized into four sections: rubbings, provenance, inscription illustrations, ancient texts, and separate records. Despite certain shortcomings—such as inconsistent structure, the inclusion of counterfeit inscriptions, and an overly extensive compilation—it significantly contributed to the advancement of research on the Zhengshi-period stone classics. In 1957, the posthumous work of Ma Heng, Han shijing jicun (汉石经集存), was published. The continuity from Sun Haibo’s 1937 compilation to Ma Heng’s 1957 publication illustrates a clear line of scholarly tradition in stone inscription studies. [2]
The authenticity of some rubbings in Sun Haibo's book was temporarily questioned, for example by Shang Chengzuo 商承祚 (1902–1991).
The Wei sanzi shijing jilu was also used by the Hanyu da zidian (HYDZD).[3]
