Abstract

In the stele corridor of Yongle Temple in Ruicheng County, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province, China, there is a ‘Petition Inscription’ embedded in the wall. This inscription contains two Chinese petition texts, each followed by a line of Old Uyghur text, with an additional Old Uyghur line at the end. The first two Old Uyghur lines summarize their respective Chinese texts, while the third serves as a colophon, recording the name of the carver of the Old Uyghur part. Although the Chinese texts date to 1249, the engraving must be later, and the Old Uyghur part was likely added during this process.

Abstract

Çin’in Shanxi eyaletindeki Yuncheng şehri, Ruicheng beldesinde bulunan Yongle Tapınağı'nın Dikili Taş Geçidi olarak adlandırılan bölümünde, duvara gömülü bir ‘Dilekçe Yazıtı’ bulunmaktadır. Bu yazıt, iki Çince dilekçe metnini içerir. Yazıtta ayrıca, Çince metinlerin ardından birer satır ve yazıtın en sonunda bir satır olmak üzere üç satır Eski Uygurca metin yer alır. Çince metinlerden sonra gelen Eski Uygurca satırlar ilgili metinlerin özetleridir, üçüncü satır ise kolofon niteliğinde olup Eski Uygurca kısımların oymacısının adını belirtir. Çince metinler 1249 yılında kaleme alınmış olsa da, sonraki bir tarihte taşa kazınmış olmalıdır ve muhtemelen Eski Uygurca kısımlar da bu süreçte eklenmiştir.
