明代李孜、宋氏墓志考

Ming Dynasty Epitaphs of Li Zi and His Wife

李孜、宋氏墓志1983年出土于河南省沁阳市王召乡李大人庄,分别刻于明弘治元年(1488年)和成化二十二年(1486年),现藏沁阳市博物馆。李孜生于永乐五年(1407年),卒于弘治元年。历官锦衣卫经历、马邑令、公安县丞。后因其子为官获封兵部武选主事、武库员外郎。其妻宋氏生于永乐二年(1404年),卒于成化二十一年(1485年)。初因夫君为官获封孺人,又因其子为官获封安人,进封宜人。其子李鉴天顺六年(1462年)中举,成化五年(1469年)进士及第,初授正六品兵部武选主事,后晋从五品武库员外郎。成化二十一年,官正五品武库郎中。后又晋为正四品太仆寺少卿。李大人庄因李鉴为官而得名。本文通过对两方墓志的研究,考证了李孜夫妇的生平及李孜的为官理念。志文部分内容可对方志、史书纠误、印证和补充。志文所涉张睿、沈固、焦芳、李东阳等均为明代中期重臣,对研究其时社会、政治和经济具有一定的参考价值。宋氏墓志的书丹者为明代大书法家姜立纲,足见其价值非常,弥足珍贵。

This paper examines the life of Li Zi （1407-1488） and his wife （1404-1485）, based on their epitaphs excavated in 1983 at Lidaren village, Qinyang, Henan province. The two epitaphs, now in the Qinyang Museum, were carved in 1488 and 1486 respectively. The official positions that Li Zi had held include： Register of the Jinyiwei, magistrate of Mayi and Gong＇an counties, Secretary of Military Appointments and Vice Director of Armory （under the Ministry of War）. Li＇s wife, surnamed Song, was conferred the title Ruren （after her husband） and later Anren and Yiren （after her son Li Jian）. Li Jian＇s official experience has been recorded in the epitaphs as well and the Lidaren village was named after him. Records about senior officials such as Zhang Rui, Shen Gu, Jiao Fang and Li Dongyang during the middle Ming dynasty offer valuable historical data. In addition, the calligraphy of Song＇s epitaph was done by the famous calligrapher Jiang Ligang.
