河北正定出土唐成德节度使王士真墓志初探

Tang Dynasty Epitaph of Wang Shizhen Unearthed in Zhengding

2007年5月,河北正定县于家庄出土一合唐代墓志。从碑文看,为唐后期成德节度使王士真墓志。该墓志两千余字,内容十分丰富,是迄今发现的这个王氏家族男系成员第一块碑刻,为研究其家族世系、仕宦经历,乃至整个成德镇历史提供了第一手资料,是近些年来,继何进滔、何弘敬和王元逵墓志之后,关于唐代河北三镇的又一重要发现。

A 2,000-character epitaph belonging to Wang Shizhen, a military governor of Chengde in the late Tang dynasty, was unearthed at Yujiazhuang village, Zhengding, Hebei province in May 2007. As the first stone inscription dedicated to a male member of the Wang clan, this epitaph provides first-hand data on the lineage and official career of the Wang clan and the history of Chengde. It is another important discovery in recent years about the three Tang dynasty prefectures in Hebei （Chengde, Weibo and Youzhou） after the discovery of epitaphs of He Jintao, He Hongjing and Wang Yuankui.
