隋《韦惎墓志》所见关中郡姓链接的婚姻关系

The Marital Relationship of the Distinguished Families Informed by the Sui Dynasty Wei Ji’s Tomb Epitaph

隋开皇六年(586)的《韦惎墓志》是记录入唐前京兆韦氏南皮公房的重要资料。通过韦惎及其三子的婚姻关系,可见北朝至隋以京兆韦氏为代表的关中本地士族与地域临近的河东士族构结的婚姻圈,是唐代最终酝酿出看似与地理区划相违的“关中郡姓”的原因之一。

The Wei Ji’s epitaph is dated to the Sixth Year of the Kaihuang Reign(AD 586)of the Sui Dynasty.It is an important piece of historical document on the Nanpi Gongfang of the capital’s Wei family before the Tang Dynasty.The marital network of Wei Ji and his three sons is a direct reflection of the marriage circle between the local gentry class of the Guanzhong region,represented by the Wei family,and the gentry class of the neighbouring region of Hedong,being maintained since the Northern Dynasties through the Sui and Tang dynasties.It was also one of the reasons why the so-called Guanzhong Gentry Class was fostered during the Tang Dynasty,which was not entirely accordant with their geographic zonation.
