益阳赫山庙唐墓若干问题的再探讨

Reinvestigating Several Issues Related to the Tang Tomb at Heshanmiao of Yiyang

赫山庙唐墓为湖南地区迄今为止发现的极为少见的有明确纪年的唐代墓葬。虽然其规模较小,且墓主身份等级不高,但仍能为相关研究提供较有说服力的信息。以往的研究者只侧重于墓葬年代及形制方面的信息,而忽略了其他一些与墓主身份相关的重要信息。笔者结合考古资料和历史文献,对墓志所记墓主身份进行考释,对墓主葬地与"益阳故城"相互关系进行探讨,认为墓主的身份等级与其所采用的墓葬形制是相符的。同时,通过此墓也可确定唐时益阳县治的位置,再结合近些年的考古新发现,印证了古籍所载唐前"益阳故城"的位置。

The Tang tomb at Heshanmiao is a very rare one with specific date of the Tang Dynasty discovered in Hunan up to now.Although small in size and with the tomb occupant low in social status,it can still provide convincing information for related researches.Previous researchers,while placing emphasis on information about the shape and date of the tomb,have neglected some other important information related to the identity of the tomb occupant.The author of this paper,relying on archaeological materials and historical documents,interprets the identity of the tomb occupant according to the epigraph,explores the relationship between the burial ground and"the old city of Yiyang",and believes that the social status of the tomb occupant conforms to the tomb formation.At the same time,through this tomb,the location of the county town of Yiyang in the Tang Dynasty is determined.In conjunction with new archaeological findings,the location of"the old city of Pre-Tang Yiyang"in historical documents is also proven.
