墓志撰者署名位置与礼仪、文体格式、文体变迁等密切相关,颇有讨论的必要。初唐前期,延隋之旧,大多墓志不书撰者姓名,即使少数书者,其位置尚不一定,署名于文后或文中者占有比较大的比例。初唐后期,撰者署名逐渐增多,署名于文前渐成趋势。盛唐时期,署名于文前者继续增多;到了中晚唐,署名于文前完全占了主导地位,署名于文后者成了极为少见的特例。初唐前尊后卑的署名方式为礼仪书写,其后的无论尊卑皆署于文前的署名方式为格式书写,唐代墓志撰者署名经历了礼仪书写向格式书写的转变。转变的成功,表明墓志文体完成了自我的独立与自足,这正是文体成熟的重要标志。 The location of the epitaphs is closely related to etiquette, stylistic forms and stylistic changes, which are quite necessary for discussion. In the early period of early Tang Dynasty and the late of the Sui Dynasty, most of the epitaphs were not written by the names of the writers. Even for a few booksellers, their position is not yet certain. The authors’ names in or after the texts occupy a relatively large proportion. Later Tang Dynasty, the author’s signature gradually increased, the signature gradually became a trend in the text. The Tang Dynasty, the signature of the former continues to increase; to the late Tang Dynasty, signed in front of the text completely occupied the dominant position, signed in the latter became an extremely rare exception. In the early Tang dynasty, the signature style of prequel and inferiority was written as etiquette, followed by signature in the style of writing, and the epitaph of the Tang Dynasty epitomized the change from etiquette writing to format writing. The success of the transformation shows that the style of epitaphs has completed the independence and self-sufficiency of the self, which is an important symbol of the maturity of style.
