七星岩にある宋代方信孺の石刻

　原型の石刻は高さ1.67メートル、幅1.67メートル、七星岩（栖霞洞とも呼ばれたことがある）にあり、嘉定七年（1214年）に刻まれたものです。その内容は「方信孺游。嘉定甲戌伍月既望，刻于静江府栖霞洞」（方信孺、栖霞洞を遊覧、嘉定甲戌五月十六日、静江府栖霞洞に刻む）です。方信孺は桂林に数多くの石刻を残し、桂林市内だけに残った石刻が20余あり、桂林の歴史文化と石刻文化の伝承及び発展に重要な貢献をし、后世の人々に「桂林石刻第一人」と称されています。

方信孺は世代に清廉で公正な節操を保持するために、世節堂を建立した

　方信孺（1177—1222年）は、字が孚若、今の福建省蒲田市華亭鎮霞皐村の人。信孺は南宋嘉定七年（1214年）に広南西路提点刑獄（中国古代官名）から広南西路転吲泄伲ㄖ泄�古代官名）に変わり、その父親の崧卿が二十年前に桂林で同じ職務を担任しました（方崧卿は南宋紹熈二年（1191年）に広南東路提点刑獄に務め、紹熈三年（1192年）に広南西路転吲泄伽塑炄韦筏浚�。崧卿及び信孺二人で在任期間に清廉で公正で、貧苦な人を積極的に訪れ、百姓の生活に関心を持ち、庶民の歓迎及び敬愛を受けました。父親の桂林滞在の功績を記念して称揚するために、百姓は崧卿に感謝するために桂林城の南面の永寧慈寺氏閣（今の文昌橋萬寿巷舎利塔の辺り）にある祠堂を増築して修繕し、また蒲田人の柯夢得に『方公祠堂迎送神曲』を編纂されました。春秋に祀るたびに、桂林の現地人は方崧卿の画像を自発的に貼って祀ります（『後村先生大全集·一百六十六巻（宝謨寺丞詩境方公）』の中に「父老即永寧寺西庑祠京西公、文公詞伯、俱有歌詠記述焉」という記述がある；宋代葉適『水心集·京西吲蟹焦�神道碑』には、「為広西提刑、吲小⒕@公行部。父老迎拝悲喜、既相与画公像」と記載された）。後来、方信孺はまた父親がかつて業務のところを修繕し直し、これから「世節堂」という名を付けました。学者である易祓に「世節堂」という３つ字の横額及び「嘉定八年二月吉、蒲田方信孺新桂林西漕台、庁事為世節堂、長沙易祓書扁、磨崖于龍隠岩」などの字を書かれた、そして龍隠岩の崖に刻まれました。方信孺はこれで父親の桂林滞在の徳政を記念し、自分の職務の忠実を警戒して励ますと同時に、官員とする父親の廉潔公正の精神を継承するために、「世節堂」で自分の決心を示しました。

原据有关文字记载文字内容为“方信孺游。嘉定甲戌伍月既望，刻于静江府栖霞洞”经冬发兄指正及实地查勘实为“方信孺游。嘉定甲戌七月既望，刻于静江府栖霞洞”。特及时修改并作此说明。幸而因龙隐路改造时为仿制原碑并无错误，尚好。

Fang Xinru in the Southern Song Dynasty

The stone carving inscribed by Fang Xinru in the Southern Song Dynasty is
situated on the Cliff side of the Seven- Star Cave (once called the Xixia Cave) in
Guilin, standing 1.67 meters high by 1.67 meters wide, engraved in May, the 7th
year of Jiading Period in the Southern Song Dynasty (1214 C.E.). The inscription on
it is that, “Fang Xinru You (Fang Xinru visited here.), engraved on the 16th day of the
fifth lunar month in 1214 C.E., in the Xixia Cave of Jingjiang Prefecture.” Fang Xinru
has made significant contribution to the inheritance and development of Guilin’
s history, culture and the stone carving culture in Guilin by leaving a large number
of stone carvings behind in Guilin, more than 20 of which have been preserved in
the urban district of the city. Accordingly he has been called “the First Person of the
Stone Carvings in Guilin”.


The Shijie Hall Built by Fang Xinru,
an Exhortation to Later Generations to Keep Moral Integrity

Fang Xinru (1177-1222 C.E.), Furuo, his courtesy name, was born in the present
Xiagao Village, Huating Township, Putian City, Fujian Province. In the 7th year of
the Jiading Period in the Southern Song Dynasty (1214 C.E.), Xinru’s official post
was changed from being in charge of the prosecution and judging in Guangnan
Western District to the official in charge of transportation and censorship of the
same area, as had happened to his father 20 years ago (Fang Songqing had been
in charge of the prosecution and judging in Guangnan Eastern District in the 2nd
year of the Period of Shaoxi in the Southern Song Dynasty (1191 C.E.) before he was
changed to the post of Guangnan Western District in the 3rd year of the Period of
Shaoxi (1192)). During their term of office, both the father and the son were honest
and upright, taking the initiative to visit the poor and the unfortunate, and caring
about the livelihood of the common people. Therefore they were popular with and
beloved by the common people. In order to commemorate and commend his late
father’s contribution in Guilin, Fang Xinru extended and repaired the ancestral
hall, which had been built by the grateful local people in the Cishi Pavilion of the
Yongning Temple in the south of the city (currently in the neighborhood of the
Dagoba in the Wanshou Lane near the Wenchang Bridge), Besides, he invited Ke
Mengde, who was from Putian to compile The Greeting and Parting Divine Poetry
for the Respected Fang’s Ancestral Hall. In spring and autumn every year, the local
people would spontaneously offer sacrifices to Fang Songqing’s portrait. (The above
historical details are recorded in Volume 166 titled “Shijing (Fang Xinru’s Literary
name) in Baomo Temple”, Respected Fang of The Complete Works of Mr.Hou Cun,
The Water Center Collection·The Stone Tablet Guarding the Respected Fang’s Tomb
Passage by Ye Shi in the Song Dynasty respectively. In Volume 166 titled “Shijing (Fang
Xinru’s Literary name) in Baomo Temple”, Respected Fang of The Complete Works of
Mr.Hou Cun, it is recorded that the grateful local people built the ancestral hall in
the Yongning Temple to commemorate Fang Xinru and his late father’s contribution
to Guilin. Besides, a well-known poet from Putian was invited to compile poetry
to record Fang Xinru and his father’s contribution to Guilin.” In the Water Center
Collection·The Stone Tablet Guarding the Respected Fang’s Tomb Passage by Ye Shi
in the Song Dynasty, it is recorded that, “Following his father’s step, Fang Xinru
held the same official post as Tixing and Yunpan in Guangnan Western District. In
spring and autumn every year, the local people would spontaneously offer sacrifices
to Fang Songqing’s portrait.”). Afterwards, Fang Xinru had the building where his
father had worked repaired, which was designated as the “Shijie Hall” (meaning
keep alive the moral integrity from one generation to another) inscribed on a
horizontal inscription board signed with such other words as “Shijie Hall, designated
by Fang Xinru, after Xi Cao Tai had been repaired in February of the 8th year in
the Period of Jiading. Yi Fu, from Changsha, wrote the horizontal inscribed board,
which was engraved on the cliff side of the Hidden Dragon Cave”. In this way, Fang
Xinru commemorated his father’s moral rule, reminding and exhorting himself to
be devoted to his duty while showing his determination to be an honest and upright
official by the “Shijie Hall”.
