Viewing the Economic Geography of the Tang Dynasty from the Unearthed Epitaph

出土唐人墓志保留着唐代珍贵的经济地理信息。由于唐人仕宦空间跨越性大、调任频繁,其墓志中往往会记述生前多个任职地的地方社会信息,经济地理信息就是其中之一。就唐代南方社会而言,出土唐人墓志留下了较多的南方地区的经济资源、经济开发的记录,同时,也披露了经济领域诸多严重的社会问题。唐人墓志也在一定程度上记载了唐代北方地区的山地经济、都会城市的商品经济特点,此外,墓志还折射出了唐代北方社会经济下降、衰退的某些迹象。

The unearthed Tang Dynasty epitaph retains the precious economic and geographic information of the Tang Dynasty.Due to the large span of space and the frequent transfer of the Tang people,the epitaph often records the local social information of many places of employment before the birth.Economic geography information is one of them.As far as the social economy in the south of the Tang Dynasty is concerned,the unearthed epitaph of the Tang Dynasty left more records of economic resources and economic development in the southern region,and also revealed many serious social problems in the economic field.The epitaph of the Tang Dynasty also recorded the characteristics of the mountain economy and the metropolitan city’s commodity economy in the northern part of the Tang Dynasty.In addition,the epitaph also reflected some signs of the decline and decline of the social economy in the northern Tang Dynasty.
