开封宋代繁塔夏州李光文题刻考述

Stone Inscription of LI Guangwen from Xiazhou in Fan Pagoda in Kaifeng in Song Dynasty

河南省开封市宋代繁塔内保存的夏州党项李光文题刻虽然只有13个字,但这是目前发现夏州党项上层人物在宋都开封活动和信奉佛教的唯一实物资料,补充了正史资料的缺失;该题刻尚未引起足够重视,无专门研究。该文通过梳理李光文生平事迹以及任职履历,可知李光文可能于宋开宝七年(974)四月至九年(976)十月到开封繁塔捐施财物。经考证,该题刻对宋初夏州党项历史具有重要的价值。

Only 13 stone inscription characters remain by LI-Guangwen from Xiazhou in Fan Pagoda in Kaifeng city, in Song Dynasty, but this is currently the only materials about the upper ruler of Xiazhou Tangut in Kaifeng city who believed in Buddhism, which supplements the lack of official data. It is ignored by academia and of no specific studies so far. On the basis of Li Guangwen＇ life story and official records, this article argued the time that Li Guangwen donated property to Fan Pagoda was in the 4th month of 7thyear of Kaibao Era（974 B.C.） to the 12 thmonth of 9thyear of Kaibao Era（976 B.C.） in Song dynasty. It has important value for the study of Xiazhou Tangut nationality history at the beginning of the Song Dynasty.
