摘　　要：墓志铭是用于志墓的一种文体,通常都是由前后两部分组成的,前一部分为志文,古人习惯称为"序",后一部分为铭文,古人一般称作"铭"。这两部分内容既有区别,又有联系,古今学人常各执一词,故其关系需要进一步厘清。实际上,从创作目的看,墓志铭从设立之初,志文旨在记事,铭文旨在颂美;与创作目的相联系,从演变的过程看,就墓志铭的文体特点及实际功用而言,志文和铭文是有所区别的,这也和各自的渊源密切相关。因志文与铭文两者结合共同构成"墓志铭",其相互联系是非常紧密的,主要表现为:铭文是志文的重复或缩写;铭文是对志文的补充;志文和铭文虽各有侧重,但主旨相同;志文和铭文浑然一体。Epitaph is generally composed of two parts：Zhiwen,which was called Xu in the ancient times,and Mingwen,or simply Ming.These two parts are different forms correlated with each other.However,from ancient times to now,different scholars have had different opinions.Some hold that the distinction of Zhi and Ming originated from the standard and non-standard style of epitaph.Some think that Zhi and Ming are the same thing.As their relationship is still puzzling many scholars,it is an urgent task to clarify it.The progressive richness of research results on text styles and newly unearthed epitaphs,especially the sustained excavation of the epitaphs of the Tang Dynasty,which can be considered as prevailing and mature,provides more materials to the researches on the features,functions of Zhiwen and Mingwen as well as their correlations.The first step to clarify the relationship between Zhiwen and Mingwen is to find out the main purpose of the ancients in using epitaphs.There are two main purposes：one is recording events and the other is praising the virtues of the dead.These two functions are undertaken by Zhiwen and Mingwen respectively.From the beginning of the adoption of epitaph,Zhiwen aimed at recording events,while Mingwen aimed at singing the praises.Related with the purpose of creating epitaph,and seen from the process of evolvement,Zhiwen and Mingwen can reflect the different styles and functions of epitaphs.Certainly,the distinction between Zhiwen and Mingwen is closely related with their origins. This paper tries to distinguish between the respective features and functions of Zhiwen and Mingwen in the forms of the texts and the origins of creation.As for text styles,Zhiwen is more like an essay,and the narration style is more flexible,while Mingwen is rhymed and more like poetry.As for the creation origin,Zhiwen is partly influenced by historical biographic literature,while Mingwen originated from Zhongding Ming of remote ages.All these are obvious distinctions between Zhiwen and Mingwen.However,an epitaph
