清初由黃宗羲、顧炎武、朱彝尊等金石研究學者所帶動的訪碑熱潮，至乾嘉時期，更形活絡。學者們四處蒐訪碑刻，成果斐然，黃易即是其中的代表人物。黃易為杭州人，但在山東一帶任官長達二十多年，他僅是靠捐貲而謀得管理運河的小官，卻能趁地利之便，對山東一帶的秦漢碑刻極力蒐訪，並因此與清代乾、嘉年間，京師翰林院大學士和山東巡撫等朝中大官，以及當時的樸學大師、考據學者、金石研究學家，結為莫逆之交。他所居住的濟寧，擁有大量的秦漢遺跡，吸引學者前往觀覽，他的官署也成為眾人歇腳之處。他的訪碑成果，亦為人所稱道。同時，根據文獻記載，他曾創作過為數不少的「訪碑圖」，卻因流傳下來的畫作不多，故僅見少數書籍、論文，對黃易「訪碑圖」做過簡要的介紹。是故，本文擬以黃易這類「訪碑圖」，研究主軸，研究他在創作此類畫作的時空背景，討論他所採用的形式、內容，並從黃易所作的畫冊和拓本上的眾人題識，建構出黃易的交遊網絡，以了解他對清代金石學研究的貢獻。

Stele searching (訪碑), a trend originally initiated by epigraphers Huang
Zongxi, Gu Yanwu, and Zhu Yizun in the early Qing Dynasty, became even more prevalent during the reigns of the Qianlong and Jiaqing Emperors. During this period, epigraphers traveled across China in search for steles and made great discoveries. One of the representative figures among these epigraphers is Huang Yi. Born in Hangzhou, Huang Yi obtained a mediocre official’s position in Shandong Province by political donation and was responsible for canal management. During his office service of more than twenty years, and with a favorable geographical location, he was devoted to the search of steles from the Qin and Han Dynasties
around Shandong Province. As a result, Huang Yi became a close friend with then higher-ranking imperial governmental officials, including the Grande Masters of the Royal Academy (京師翰林院大學士) and the Shandong Provincial Governor (巡撫), puxue (樸學) scholars, textual researchers, and other famous epigraphers. Jining, where Huang Yi resided during his office, has drawn modern academic attention for
its abundance of Qin and Han Dynasty heritage sites, while his department has also become a famous attraction to honor his contributions to steles search. According to the literature, Huang Yi created a considerable amount of stele rubbings. However, most of the rubbings were lost and as a result few books and studies discuss them. The purpose of this research is to discuss the chronological and spatial background, content, and forms adopted in Huang Yi’s “Stele Searching Paintings.” Additionally,
the paper will reconstruct the social network of Huang Yi based on the inscriptions on his paintings and their rubbings, in order to shed a light on his contributions to Qing Dynasty Epigraphy.
