唐代甘州“中府”钩沉

The Promotion and Demotion of Gan Zhou as the Zhong Fu in Tang Dynasty

本文对于唐代甘州设置"中府",即中都督府的有关史实,作了仔细的钩稽和考证。考得广德二年(764年)十月凉州被吐蕃大军所围河西节度被迫徙镇甘州后,为适应移治的需要遂将甘州升格为"中府";迨至大历元年(766年)五月河西节度又徙镇沙州,当年甘州陷蕃,甘州作为中都督府及河西节度使的治所前后不足两年。

In the October of the second year of Guangde（广德）, the Liang Zhou（凉州） was surrounded by the Tu Fan＇s army, Hexi Jiedu（河西节度） was moved to the Gan Zhou（甘州）, and the Gan Zhou was promoted to the Zhong Fu（中府）. When the May in the first year of Dali（大历）, Hexi Jiedu moved to Sha Zhou（沙州）, the Gan Zhou was captured by Tu Fan. The time the Gan Zhou as the seat of Zhongdudu Fu（中都督府） and Hexi Jiedu Shi（河西节度使） was less than two years.
