隋代泰州小考——以《韦协墓志》为新线索

A Textual Research on Taizhou in the Sui Dynasty: On the Epitaph of Wei Xie

《隋书》记载韦协曾任秦州刺史,新刊布的《韦协墓志》则作"泰州"。结合《韦协墓志》《旧唐书》《薛氏墓志》等资料来看,隋代确实设置有泰州,《隋书》韦协传的记载有误。隋代泰州可能设立于文帝开皇十六年(596年),罢废于炀帝大业三年(607年),下辖有蒲坂县;它的设立、罢废与周边州县一样,是当时政区统一调整中的一部分。

Book of Sui [隋书] records that Wei Xie once served as cishi(the governor) of Qinzhou(秦州) in the Sui dynasty, but the newly published Epitaph of Wei Xie takes it as Taizhou(泰州). According to Epitaph of Wei Xie, the Old Book of Tang Dynasty [旧唐书] and Epitaph of Xue Family, Taizhou was established in the Sui dynasty, and record of Qinzhou in the biography of Wei Xie in Book of Sui should not be correct. The administrative unit Taizhou may have been established in the 16 th year of Emperor Wen in the Sui dynasty, and was canceled in the 3 rd year of Emperor Yang. The establishment and cancel of Taizhou, like the surrounding prefectures, was a part of the unification and adjustment of the administrative districts at that time.
