始平公造像記 朱義章

中國

全稱《比丘慧成為亡父洛州刺史始平公造像題記》。《龍門四品》之一。比丘慧成為追悼亡父始平公所鑿造,刻於河南省洛陽市龍門石窟古陽洞北壁。孟廣達撰文,朱義章書丹。凡十行,滿行二十字。額題楷書「始平公像一區」六字,通篇皆為鐫刻成凸狀的陽文,並刻有凸起的界格,在石刻佛書中極為罕見,列為龍門諸品之首。
 北魏孝文帝(471~499在位)崇尚佛教,在洛陽開鑿了規模宏大的龍門石窟,且留下大量的題記。此碑被推為《龍門四品》中方筆的極致,以陽剛之美流傳於世。該書結體寬博疏放,起筆以側鋒切入再轉中鋒行筆,轉折處提尖再重頓,點畫棱角分明;起筆收筆刻意露鋒,形成方筆勁健的意態,使骨力雄厚的魏碑風格躍然石上,允為北碑第一。
 參考釋文:夫靈□□啟則攀宗靡尋容像不陳則崇之必□□/以真顏□於上齡遺形敷於下葉暨於大代茲功厥/作比丘慧成自以影濯玄流邀逢昌運率渴誠心為/國造石窟寺□糸答皇恩有資來業父使持節光□/大夫洛州刺史始平公奄焉薨放仰慈顏以摧躬□/匪烏在□遂為亡父造石像一區願亡父神飛三□/□周十地□玄照則萬有斯明震慧嚮則大千斯瞭/元世師僧父母眷屬鳳□道場鸞騰兜率若悟洛人/□三槐獨秀九蕀雲敷五有群生咸同斯願/太和廿二年九月十四日訖 朱義章書孟達文
