唐诗人口数字辨析

The Number of Households in the Poems of Tang Dynasty

对《全唐诗》中几乎所有涉及人口数字的诗歌篇章进行分类整理,然后又搜集到了涉及相应诗歌的今人的论文或专著,将两者结合进行了对比研究,我们发现唐诗在人口数量的描述上,有些确实以现实人口为基础,诗中描写较真实地反映出当时的人口现状;但大多数则是一种艺术的手法,只是反映出当时人口众多的现象,多非实指,所以并不能当做历史史实来运用。

There were a lot of valuable numbers of households and total population in the poems of the Tang dynasty （618 - 907）. The relationship between poems in Tang Dynasty and population is an interest- ing topic. In this thesis, some poems with the number of population in the Tang poems are compared with some articles or proses relevant to these poems. Then, it is shown that as for Tang poems, some of them can be used in studying population in Tang Dynasty directly, others of them are just a kind of portray in literature and they could not be used to study the population of Tang Dynasty.
