【Abstract】

In the past, many national minorities once established ancient characters of their own. A large amount of ancient Chinese character inscriptions were made using stone materials, which are significant for the study of national histories, national cultures and national languages. This paper summarizes the historical background of ancient Chinese character inscriptions and the current situation regarding character interpretation; it exemplifies 12 types of Chinese character inscriptions of national minorities in the hopes of providing suggestions for the collation of ancient Chinese character inscription documents and providing references for study into languages, histories and cultures.
