西夏建国前党项拓跋氏的发展

On the Development of the Toba's Family before the Founding of the XiXia Kingdom

近年出土墓志为认识党项拓跋(李)氏势力形成提供了珍贵资料。墓志显示唐朝边疆蕃政从羁縻府州向押蕃落使体制转型过程中,拓跋氏成员一方面进入节度使系统任职,另一方面由嗣子绍袭部落权力,形成双轨发展策略。担任定难军节度后,拓跋(李)氏调试自身政治传统和方镇政治运作实际,通过辟署、奏授等行政程序逐步掌握官员选任、迁转权,在使府、属州人事层面嵌入基于部落宗族的亲属网络。这种集权建设使忠于府主成为定难军地区的政治观念,形成以拓跋(李)氏为中心的地方势力。

The epitaph provides valuable records for studying the formation of the political community led by Toba’s family. In the process of the Tang Dynasty’s frontier tribal governance transformation from the Prefecture of Jimi to the Constabulary of Tribe, on the one hand, members of the Toba’s family served in the Jiedushi government, on the other hand, the tribal power was inherited by the family heirs. This is a Two-Track Model of development. After serving as Jiedushi, the Toba’s family adjusted the relationship between their political traditions and the current situation in Dingnanjun, and gradually grasped the power of appointment through administrative procedures.As a result, Toba’s relatives were arranged to be the center of power in Jiedushi government.Centralization led to loyal Jiedushi as a political value in Dingnanjun. The political community led by Toba’s Family was formed.
