中古社會變遷中吴興沈氏的族性轉换

The conversion of Wuxing Shen family nature under the medieval social change

沈氏家族自兩漢之際遷居吴興武康以來,始則在西晉末年成長爲吴姓豪族,繼而于劉宋中葉上升爲軍功士族,終乃在齊末梁初嬗變爲文化士族。吴興沈氏的士族化,不僅起步較晚,而且主要通過黨附皇權而得實現。梁末以還,受門風轉向的負面影響,沈氏族勢日漸衰退;隋唐之後,更因爲離散宗族政策的實施和選舉制度的變易,吴興沈氏喪失了鄉里根基的依托,與其他中古士族一樣,最終消融于官僚帝國的組織框架和文化構造之中。

the Shen clan of Wuxing experienced ups and downs between the early Dong Han dynasty and late Southern dynasty, it eventually came into elite, which was not only slowly, but also primarily by means of the power of Emperor. Owing to the negative influence from the family ethos transformation, clan shen declined gradually after the late Liang dynasty. Resulted from the practice of dissolve clansmen and the alternation of election system, clan Shen lost her family background, then fade out the history stage in the early Tang dynasty.
