龙兴年号与李宝後西凉政权

The Reign Title Longxing and Li Bao’s Second Western Liang Dynasty

出土于哈拉和卓96号墓的龙兴年号虽曾为高昌郡守阚爽使用,并非其自创年号,而是建都伊吾的李宝後西凉年号,阚爽所任高昌郡守亦非自署,而是授自李宝。李宝後西凉政权存在时间长达20年(玄始十一年至太平真君三年,422-442),与哈拉和卓96号墓葬出土纪元上、下限相符,龙兴年号的寓意也与李宝"每希报雪"的复国大志相同,应是李宝後西凉所建年号。

The reign title Longxing, unearthed from Tomb 96 of the Karakhoja Tombs, is once used by Kan Shuang head of Gaochang Prefecture but not created by him. It is the reign title of Li Bao＇ s Second Xiliang Dynasty, which capitalized in Yiwu. And even Kan Shuang＇s position was granted by Li Bao. Li Bao＇s reign lasted as long as 20 years （422-442）, which is reproved by what is unearthed from Tomb 96. Besides, the meaning of Longxing is identical to Li Bao＇ s ambition of reviving Xiliang Dynasty. Thus Longxing is the reign title created by Li Bao＇ s Second Xiliang Dynasty.
