Tomb magazine of Chinese Tang Dynasty Is it written by Kibi Maki from Japan

Tomb magazine of the Chinese Tang Dynasty Written by Kibi Mabi from Japan or 17:48 on December 25

It was found that a tomb magazine engraved on a tombstone of a bureaucrat of the Tang Dynasty discovered in China was likely written by Kibi Maki, who was traveling to Tang at that time. Experts have noted that the characters written by Maji Kibi have not been found in Japan and are a valuable discovery.

Published in Beijing on the 25th, a 328-character tombstone was engraved on the tombstone of a man named Lee Guan, a bureaucrat of the Tang Dynasty in China, who was in charge of accepting foreign envoys, such as the Tang Dynasty.

The tomb magazine was found in Luoyang, Henan Province six years ago, and describes the history of Lee Kun's life, and was inscribed at the end of the sentence with the "Japanese Asahi Notebook". According to the director of Enmu, a museum in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, who discovered the tomb magazine, it means that a person named "Asa-Bi" was written in Japan. It is likely to point to Kibi Mabi, who was in Tang as an international student.

Miki Kibi went to the Tang twice in the Nara period, studied the politics and culture of China at the time, and after returning to Japan, contributed to the development of Japanese culture.

Yasuki Kigasawa, director of the East Asian Institute of Stone Carvings, Meiji University, commented, "I think it's Kibi Mabi. I haven't written anything at all until now, but the discovery of this has greatly helped researchers. I believe that new research will begin in the future, given the stimulus. "

The tomb magazine is stored at the "Motono Museum" in Shenzhen, Guangdong, and will be open to the public next year.
