1 Introduction

Luoyang, the ancient capital of 13 dynasties in history of China, is a well-known city with a long history and splendid culture. It??s plenty of inscriptions in Mangshan Mountain and Luoyang (Mang-Luo Inscription in short), as one of the most important culture forms, plays a vital role domestically and internationally. However, less attention has been paid to the modern and contemporary inscription, which is also an important component of Chinese cultural relics and heritage. A research team of Luoyang Folk Museum proposed a project in 2015 in terms of the urgent protection to the modern and contemporary inscription. By end of 2021, a series of dataset for Luoyang Inscription during the Republic of China (7 volumes in total) had all been accomplished, including Vol.1, 2 and 3 of the Datasets for Luoyang Inscriptions During the Republic of China published by Ancient Books Publishing House in October 2015[1], July 2016[2] and March 2017[3], respectively, and the album of Chang Family Tombstone, Vol.4 and 5, and the addendum Vol. of the Datasets for Luoyang Inscriptions During the Republic of China published by Thread-Binding Books Publishing House in January 2018[4], November 2018[5], August 2019[6], November 2020[7], which means that the project completed its goal in establishing a dataset for the inscriptions of the Republic of China in Luoyang.

3 Dataset Development

According to the division standard of Chinese historical stages, the Republic of China (1912?C1949), which had a short history, includes two periods of Beiyang Government based in Beijing and Nationalist Government based in Nanjing. During the period, China was a backward country in the world due to political turmoil and social transformation. Luoyang was also diminished from a rich capital city to a small county.

Luoyang??s cultural deposits can date back to the Xia (2100?C1600 BC), Shang (1600?C1100 BC) and Zhou (1100?C256 BC) dynasties, or even the origin of mankind, and reached a period of great prosperity in Han and Tang dynasties. Hence, scholars and experts paid less attention to Luoyang in the Republican period. In fact, we can see a rich and varied blend of Chinese culture during this period. Many of the historical and cultural carriers left from the upper and underclass in that period precipitated in profound cultural connotation and rich emotional implication. Luoyang also has various cultures, and the inscriptions are one of the most important genres. They are of great significance to collect, sort the materials of inscription and establish a specialized dataset for it. Prof. Zhao, Chao at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) wrote the preface for the Dataset for Luoyang Inscriptions during the Republic of China[1]. I totally agree with his words of ??traditional culture was preserved in spite of social transformation in the late Qing dynasty and early Republican period??; ??Although there are lots of books and other materials in written formats of the Republican period, inscriptions are  irreplaceable as a mark of culture??; ??These material data are valuable and very much needed in the historical studies??; ??The authors of the Dataset for Luoyang Inscriptions during the Republic of China, with their keen foresight, identified the intellectual vacuum and filled the gap??.

3.1 The Scope of Luoyang Inscriptions during the Republic of China

(1) The definition of the contents

The inscription in the study refers to a generalized concept?Dwords that are written or curved in something, such as stone tablets, epigraphs, couplets on pillar, horizontal inscribed boards, cliff inscriptions, inscribed poems and words, written statements, resolutions, Buddhism lections and josses, etc.

(2) The exact time of the inscriptions

Each piece is subject to the records of the inscription. In this paper, we only discuss the inscription in the Republican period, namely from January 1912 to September 1949.

(3) Geographic areas of the inscriptions

This paper excludes inscriptions identified by the local people but without a mark of ??Republic of China??. The spatial scope covers 9 counties/cities and 6 districts in Luoyang, namely Yanshi city (presently Yanshi district), Mengjin county (presently Mengjin district), Xin??an county, Yichuan county, Yiyang county, Luoning county, Ruyang county, Songxian county, Luanchuan county, Jianxi district, Xigong district, Old City district, Chanhe River Hui district, Luolong district, and Jili district (presently a part of Mengjin district).

3.2 Investigation and Collection

The author has been focusing on the collection and research of the data regarding to the inscriptions during the Republic of China in Luoyang. The subject was proposed in the early autumn of 2014, after then, the author made the preparation with the assistance of Luoyang Cultural Heritage Bureau, relevant departments of counties/cities such as Yanshi and Mengjin. The project was officially launched in the early spring of 2015, after which we established a research group and an editorial committee for the book, and communicate with the local governments and relevant departments to solve the problems. With 4 years of field investigation of the city, all the rubbing progress of cultural relics had been accomplished by end of 2019.

3.3 Rubbings Sorting and Book Publishing

Several steps of rubbing, sorting and publishing are carried out simultaneously. After the production and data sorting of the rubbings (basic information, calculation, arrangement, planishing, photography??), the author came up with the figures and texts, and finally published it.

3.4 The Compilation of the Dataset

In the dataset, a range of relevant attribute data is detailed and compiled for all recorded inscriptions, including the code, name, age, size specification (height??width), texture, type, current address, preservation condition, notes, etc.

For example, No.145 in Yanshi Inscriptions is named The Monument of Liu, Zhaotang??s Teachings, which, belonging to the type of culture and education and well preserved in Zhongyao village of Gu county, was produced in 15th year of the Republic of China (1926), with its size dimension 180 cm??51 cm, its texture of sapphire, and its notes marking the inscribed Chinese characters on both sides. Table 2?C12, due to limited space, can only list some of the numbers, names, ages and current addresses of the inscriptions. And all recorded infor­mation is offered in the Dataset for Luoyang Inscriptions during the period of Republic of China.

4 The Contents of the Dataset

The composition of the dataset is divided into 11 groups according to the geographic locations of the discovery and preservation of the tablets: Luoyang City Group, Yanshi Group, Mengjin Group, Xin??an Group, Yichuan Group, Yiyan Group, Luoning Group, Songxian Group, Luanchuan Group and Changguan Family Ceremony Group, etc.

In the dataset, we use the administrative planning of Luoyang in 2015. Luoyang is then divided into 9 counties/cities, namely Yanshi, Mengjin, Xin??an, Yichuan, Yiyang, Luoning, Ruyang, Songxian, and Luanchuan. The central urban area (including 6 districts) is regarded as a whole, which is put into the front of the list, while the nine counties/cities are listed in the order of the time of their inscriptions. We take the cemetery of Chang family as an independent area and put it at the end.
