西安出土隋《扈志墓志》考释

On the Interpretation of Hu Zhi’s Epitaph of the Sui Period in Xi’an

扈志起家为宇文泰内亲信,从为西魏文帝监御食到入周后负责宫中禁卫,为宇文政权信任毋庸置疑。其后,扈志又因在尉迟迥事件中站在了杨坚一方,故入隋后得以延续政治生命。本文将隋《扈志墓志》和《扈志碑》进行比勘,通过分析扈志历经北魏末年至东西魏及于周齐分裂直至隋代的政治生涯,对于理解这一特殊历史阶段的用人政策、职能制度、政治发展等有所裨益。

Hu Zhi was an important minister in the regime of the Yuwen’s family. He served as the inner servant of Yuwen Tai from the time when Hu Zhi was the Jianyushi(censor of royal food) of the Emperor Wen during the Western Wei period to the time when he took charge of imperial army in the Northern Zhou period. Hu Zhi’s political career continued through the Sui period as he supported Yang Jian in the Yuchi Jiong event. This paper compared the records in Hu Zhi’s epitaph and Hu Zhi’s stele for a two-fold purpose: 1) to reconstruct Hu Zhi’s entire political career from the Northern Wei to the Sui period;2) to enhance the understanding about the official selection system, administrative structure, and contemporary political development.
