《焦守吉墓志铭》诸问题考辨

The Textual Research on Jiao Shouji’s Epitaph

罗振玉《芒洛冢墓遗文续编》所收录《焦守吉墓志铭》,尚未有学者加以关注。此方墓志所记,为墓主焦守吉自北宋太祖至真宗时期的履历。焦守吉长期作为天子使节,视军政、察边事,为宋代走马承受制度形成过程中的一个典型案例,可以补充相关史料记载之缺失。此外,墓志铭中所反映的焦氏家族世系,与《宋史》等传世文献记载均相左,对焦氏家族世系缺环的弥补,可以深化我们对宋代武将与皇室联姻升行问题的认知。墓志铭中的纪年问题,政治上颇为敏感,背后亦隐含了焦氏家族对宋太祖、太宗之间皇位更迭的一种政治立场。

Jiao Shouji’s Epitaph included in the Mangluo Zhongmu Yiwen Xubian(A Continuation of Epitaphs of Tombs in Central Plains) by Luo Zhenyu has received little attention from the researchers so far. The content of this epitaph is Jiao Shouji’s personal details from Emperor Taizu to Emperor Zhenzong of the Song dynasty, which could make up for the insufficiency of historical records. In most time of his political experience, Jiao Shouji was appointed as the emperor personal envoy to inspect the military administration on the frontier. He was a typical example in the establishment of the Zouma Chengshou system. Furthermore, different from the handed-down documents such as Songshi, the lineage of Jiao clan reflected in the inscription could be the complement of the family lineage and deepen our perception of improving generation in family through the marriage between military officers and royal family. The calendar era used in the epitaph was very sensitive in politics, which imply the political orientation of Jiao clan about the change of throne between emperor Taizu and Taizong of the Song dynasty.
