北宋吴元载墓志探微

An Exploration of WU Yuanzai's Epitaph in Northern Song Dynasty

吴元载墓志于河南洛阳出土,初为张钫旧藏,现藏于洛阳市新安县铁门镇千唐志斋博物馆。志文对吴元载事迹记述颇详,可补正史之缺。据墓志记载,吴元载承父燕王恩泽,荫补秦州衙内都指挥使,历任契丹国正旦国信使,出使契丹。其后,迁扬、楚八州四军都巡检使、授知陕府军府事和成都府事等重要官职,并在任上遇王小波、李顺起义爆发。因此,考证志文内容,了解吴元载仕宦经历和性格品质,对学术界进一步探析宋辽关系和王小波起义等政治事件具有重要的学术价值,同时也可弥补吴氏家族研究的空白。
