遼寧朝陽出土唐代孫氏家族墓誌新考

A New Study on Four Epitaphs of Sun’s Family of the Tang Dynasty in Chaoyang City of Liaoning Province

2003年,遼寧省朝陽市纖維廠原址基建工地發掘清理出17座唐代墓葬,均爲磚築單室墓,墓向朝南或略偏,排列緊密有序。其中5號、8號、9號墓各出土墓誌一合,誌主分别爲孫忠、孫則、孫道。這是遼寧迄今爲止發現的規模最大、出土文物最豐富的家族墓地[1]。筆者於2019年8月參訪遼寧省博物館時,首先注意到了孫則墓誌。

In 2003,three epitaphs dedicated to Sun Ze孫則,Sun Dao孫道and Sun Zhong孫忠were excavated dating to the Tang唐dynasty in a fibre factory in Chaoyang City朝陽市,Liaoning Province遼寧省.These three epitaphs together with Sun Mo孫默’s epitaph which was excavated at Baliputun八里堡屯of Chaoyang City in1958,belonged to the Sun’s family in Tang dynasty living in Ying prefecture(Yingzhou營州).By revisioning the four epitaphs,this article investigates the Sun’s family tree,administrative region geography and institutional structure and suggests the origin of the family name might relate to a Khitan chieftain called Sun Aocao孫敖曹.
