萧琳墓志铭考释

Research on Xiaolin's Epitaph

内蒙古奈曼旗为契丹族的龙兴之地,契丹还未建立大辽之前就在这一带活动,并建立了早于皇都上京的龙化州。萧氏为辽代后族,他们也选中了这里做葬身之所。青龙山陈国公主与驸马萧绍矩合葬墓的发现,出土了大量的珍贵文物,展现了契丹族的奢华;库伦七座辽墓的发掘,又使我们目睹了一幅幅契丹贵族生活画卷。萧琳墓志的出土,更进一步佐证了奈曼、库伦交界一带,就是契丹后族萧氏的家族墓地。

Qidan race originated from Naiman Banner. They had been here before they established Liao Dy- nasty and they had built Longhua State before the establishment of their capital. The Empress Xiaos also chose here to be their graveyard. The discovery of the tomb that belongs to the Chen State Princess and her husband shows many precious cultural relics and their luxury life. And in Kulun Banner, the discovery of seven tombs of Liao Dynasty show us the life of the nobles of Liao. When the epitaph of Xiaolin was unearthed, it＇ s proved that the place between Kulun and Naiman is the graveyard of the Empress Xiao and her family.
