《诸蕃志》“南毗国”条补释

A New Supplementary Note to the“Nanpi Country”Entry in Records of the Barbarians

《诸蕃志》“南毗国”条载有时罗巴、智力干父子居于泉州城南的记载。新发现一方南宋时期泉州市舶提举郭晞宗的墓志铭,墓志铭中记载了关于郭晞宗在泉州任职期间积极处理市舶司积累的问题,得到当时外国商人的认可,促进了泉州海外贸易的发展,后因病在泉州去世。墓志铭中记载了当时的印度商人祭拜郭晞宗,这是以往研究中未被重视的一段史料。

The“Nanpi Country”entry in Records of the Barbarians(Zhufan Zhi)recorded that a father Luo Ba and his son Zhi Li Gan lived in the southern part of Quanzhou city.A newly discovered epitaph of Guo Xizong,the General Supervisor of the Merchant Marine Department of Quanzhou in Southern Song Dynasty,recorded that Guo actively dealt with accumulated issues of the Merchant Marine Department during his term of office,winning approvals from foreign merchants at the time and facilitating the development of Quanzhou's foreign trade.Guo later died of disease in Quanzhou.The epitaph also recorded that Indian merchants at that time paid tribute to him at his tomb,which was a piece of historical material neglected in previous research.
