汤惠休二题

Two Topics on Tang Huixiu

学界多认为汤惠休因触犯戒律而被宋孝武帝勒令还俗,其实不然,汤惠休还俗是孝武帝对僧权控制的体现。对于汤惠休还俗后所任官职,学界认为"扬州文学从事"隶属于"扬州从事史",实际上二者是两种不同系统的官职;汤惠休所任"宛朐令"之"宛朐",后人多以为隶属南济阴郡,其实不然,刘宋时宛朐有二,一属南兖州北济阴郡,一属南徐州南济阴郡,汤惠休所任"宛朐令"属南兖州北济阴郡。

Most scholars believe that Tang Huixiu was ordered to return to the secular life by Emperor Xiaowu of the Song Dynasty for his violating the commandments.But in fact, Tang’s return is the embodiment of Emperor Xiaowu’s control over the power of monks.As for the official positions held by Tang Huixiu after his return to the secular world, the academic circles believe that "Yangzhou Literary Official" is subordinate to "Yangzhou Official",but in fact, they are official positions of two different systems.Tang Huixiu had been the magistrate of Wanqu County.In the Liu Song Dynasty, there were two Wanqu counties;one belonged to Beijiyin County of Nanyanzhou and the other belonged to Nanjiyin County of Nanxuzhou.Tang Huixiu was the magistrate of Wanqu County in Beijiyin County of Nanyanzhou.
