试论唐后期土贡物产的地方流动——以地方官员的礼物馈赠为中心

On Local Flow of the Local Tributes in the Late Tang Dynasty:Focusing on Gift-giving between Local Officials

在唐后期地方官员之间馈赠的礼物之中,有许多就是当地的土贡物产,这使得土贡的流动方向出现了新趋向。土贡物产在不同区域间的流动距离差异明显,近至同一州、同一道,远至跨州连郡。土贡物产的地方流动,使得土贡的地方性再次脱离中央性而展现出来。这种由地方官员主导的土贡物产的地方流动,不仅使土贡物产的实用性得到充分发挥,更重要的是建构起一种新型的地方文化交流网络。这一文化网络虽然在表面上体现着地方官员间某种思想观念、生活心态及文化理念的交流与传递,实际上却象征着地方间的某种文化诉求,对于推进区域间经济与文化交流具有一定的补充作用。

The distance of the flow of local tributes differed in province,prefecture and county, even reached inter-regional level. Dominated by local officials this exchange of local special products not only nlade them practically used, but also created one new kind of network for local cultural exchange. Superficially it represents concepts, mentality and ideas of the officials, in practicality it is a symptom of local culture appeal, and has some supplementary contribution to promote regional economic and cultural exchanges.
