清嘉庆三年（1798），浙省学政阮元以天一阁北宋拓本（原为松雪斋旧藏），命海盐吴厚生刻之，共刻十石，曾置于杭州府学明伦堂壁。现存后五石，第十石末刻有阮元题记。石鼓文是先秦时期的刻石文字，因其刻石外形似鼓而得名。秦石鼓现藏于故宫博物院。
In 1798, Wu Housheng engraved these inscriptions on 10 steles upon Ruan Yuan’s order. Then these steles were put at Hangzhou Prefectural School. It’s a pity that only the last 5 steles are still extant. Especially, the last stele is carved Ruan Yuan’s note. The inscriptions belonged to the pre-Qin era and thus were given this name. Now some rubbings are preserved at the Palace Museum, Beijing.
