| Research Abstract |
I THOUGHT OUT THIS PROJECT THROUGH MY FIELD WORK IN CHINA IN 1988. DURING THIS FIELD WORK, I COULD COLLECT 51 MONUMENTAL INSCRIPTIONS OF THE YUAN ERA WHICH HAD NEVER BEEN APPEARED IN HISTORICAL BOOKS OR DOCUMENTS. ACCORDING TO THIS RESULT, WE CAN HOPE TO COLLECT ANOTHER. UNKNOWN MONUMENTAL INSCRIPTIONS, IF WE ARE ABLE TO CARRY OUT THE FIELD WORK. ON ACCOUNT OF THIS PROJECT, I HAVE DONE THE PREPARATORY WORK FOR THE FIELD WORK BY THIS PROJECT. I TRIED TO COLLECT USEFUL INFORMATION ABOUT MONUMENTAL INSCRIPTIONS AMONG THE HISTORICAL MATERIALS OF THE CHINESE LOCAL GAZETTEERS ( LOCAL HISTORIES ). I HAVE RESEARCHED 549 LOCAL GAZETTEERS OF HEPEI, HENAN, SHANHSI, SHANTUNG, SHENHSI PROVINCE. THEN, I REORGANIZED THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE PLACE WHERE THE STONE MONUMENT OF THE Y*AN ERA HAD BEEN PUT UP PREFECTURE BY PREFECTURE. BESIDES THE PLACE, IF I COULD FIND THE CONTENT OF THE MONUMENTAL INSCRIPTION IN THE LOCAL GAZETTEER, I EXAMINED THAT THE CONTENT HAD BEEN FULLY RECORDED OR PARTLY RECORDED IN ANOTHER HISTORICAL BOOKS OR DOCUMENTS. BY USING A PART OF THIS RESULT, I MADE THE LIST OF MONUMENTAL INSCRIPTIONS OF HEPEI PROVINCE AND THE COLLECTION OF 92 MONUMENTAL INSCRIPTIONS WHICH I COULD FIND ONLY IN THE LOCAL GAZETTEERS OF HEPEI PROVINCE. SO FAR, WE HAVE NOT KNOWN THEIR EXISTENCE. THEY ARE VERY VALUABLE HISTORICALS. THUS, THANKS TO THIS PROJECT, I COULD NOT ONLY COLLECT USEFUL INFORMATION FOR THE FIELD WORK BUT ALSO COULD FIND OUT THE CONTENT OF UNKNOWN MONUMENTAL INSCRIPTIONS OF THE Y*AN ERA. I AM SURE WE WILL BE ABLE TO FIND OUT CONSIDERABLE NUMBER OF UNKNOWN MONUMENTAL INSCRIPTIONS BY THIS RESEARCH.
