The inscriptions not only reflect the historical process of Buddhism between the Northern and Southern Song periods，but also illustrate the important process in which Buddhist temples transformed from centers of religious worship for believers into the specific fields where local scholar-officials pursued their own ideas，established networks of social and political relations， and even engaged in literary and political activities. Therefore， analyzing the history of writing should provide a clearer historical clue for more realistic social historical study.浙江省哲学社会科学重点研究中心南宋史研究基地课题（10JDNS02YB
