南诏年号问题补证

Supplementary Demonstration on the Reign Title of Nanzhao Kingdom

南诏年号问题是南诏史研究的热点,对隆舜“贞明”年号进行重新考证,知其即位当年即改元,贞明元年是877年。同时,南诏从“长寿”直到“天启”间的十个年号在唐宋中原典籍中皆失载,是南诏自建年号一事长期不为唐知,背唐建元的结果。贞元会盟后,南诏上表奉唐,受用唐历。在与唐交往中使用唐朝年号纪年,而对内则使用自建年号纪年。背唐建元恰好表明南诏奉唐的属国性质,也隐约体现出南诏统治者对外奉唐,对内则自统一方的矛盾心态。

The reign title of Nanzhao kingdom is the research focus for its history,and the renew textual research for the reign title of Zhenming in the period of Longshun Emperor shows that the emperor gained his crown in 877.At the same time,the loss of record for the title from Changshou to Tianqi is found in the documents of Tang and Song dynasties and is the result that the government of the Nanzhao Kingdom promulgated its governing title without the permission from Tang government.After the alliance with the Tang Dynasty in 794,Nanzhao government began to use Tang calendar in its contacts with the Tang government.Its shows the nature of an affiliated kingdom and the conflicted attitude which is the foreign policy of affiliation to Tang government and domestic policy of unity to its own people.
