摘要
有关唐代内诸司使系统的研究成果已经非常之多,这主要是指内诸司使的个案研究[1],然而对有些基本问题尚没有清晰的结论,比如关于这一系统的定义与始置时间,或语焉不详,或有异说存在,故有必要论述清楚.此外,唐代出现的这一内诸司使系统对后世有哪些具体的影响,也是需要论述清楚的.本文只是一个初步的探讨,不当之处,希望能够得到指正.
The basic definition of the Nei Zhu Si Shi in the Tang Dynasty was that the administrative organ was set up in the imperial court,the Shi Zhi(使职)must be staffed by eunuchs,and they were permanent posts.It was particular that the eunuchs were regarded as a necessary element in the Tang Dynasty,so this definition was not suitable for other historical periods.The system appeared in the reign of Wu Zetian,and formed basically in the Kaiyuan(开元)and Tianbao(天宝)periods in the Tang Dynasty.The number of the Shi Zhi continued to increase until the late Tang Dynasty,and finally formed another administrative system corresponding to Nanya(南衙).This system had a great influence on the Five Dynasties.Except for the Zhuangzong reign in the Later Tang Dynasty,the Shi Zhi was basically staffed by scholars or military officials,and gradually became bureaucratization until the Northern Song Dynasty.
