唐代“安门物事变”史实考辨

A Textual Study on the Rebellion of An Menwu during the Tang Dynasty

唐代"安史之乱"爆发后,河西武威也很快发生粟特人的反唐斗争。第一阶段始于天宝十五载(756)六月,因哥舒翰兵败灵宝引发,翌月安禄山部将高嵩招诱河、陇将士,加剧了武威群胡的变乱,但遭镇压;第二阶段始于次年正月,武威粟特商胡安门物与河西兵马使孟庭伦共同起事,杀死金城太守及河西节度使周佖,翌月被太仆卿崔偁等平定。分处在东北与西北的两位粟特安氏竖起反唐旗帜,东西呼应,对唐帝国的统治造成了极大威胁。

Soon after the outbreak of the An-Shi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty,the Sogdians of Wuwei in the Hexi Regions began to rebel against the Tang Empire as well.This first wave of rebellion was preceded by the defeat of Geshu Han at Lingbao in June of the 10 th year of the Tianbao era(756).In the following month,An Lushan sent his general Gao Song to recruit the officers and soldiers from Hexi and Longyou,further intensifying the Sogdian rebellion in Wuwei,which was temporarily put down.In January of the second year of the Zhide era(757),a Sogdian merchant named An Menwu in Wuwei incited a second wave of rebellion together with Meng Tinglun,a military officer of Hexi.They killed Zhou Bi,the viceroy of Jincheng and the military governor of Hexi,which was put down a month later by Tang armies sent from the capital and led by Cui Chen and Liu Rixin.Both this rebellion and the well-documented An-Shi Rebellion were started by members of the An clan from the Sogdians,one in the northeast and the other in the northwest,echoing each other and greatly threatening the unified rule of the Tang Empire.
