论北魏后太和时代元姓宗女婚配与胡汉门阀秩序

On the Marriage of the Royal Clan Women with Surname Yuan and the Hu-Han Aristocratic Order in the Post Taihe Period of the Northern Wei Dynasty

处于中古历史转折关头的北魏后太和时代,元姓皇族经历着士族化主导的汉化浪潮的洗礼,宗室女性的婚媾关系正是这一进程集中且生动的写照。传世正史和出土墓志保存了同期大量宗女婚例,梳理发现世资门第是其择偶的首要标准,通常唯曾祖以降官爵资集三品以上的一流高门才能入围,凸显士族门第婚门当户对的准则,宗室顶级贵胄的身份预期与阀阅定位亦由此确定。照比北魏前期,此时宗女婚配已经突破政治集团的局限,更无族属的歧视与偏见,作为被征服者的中原士族与王朝核心势力代人勋贵几乎平分秋色,反映出胡汉上流分子融合的态势。以宗女婚媾为助推,北魏统治阶级对全新门阀秩序的认同感不断增强,此乃化解种族矛盾,扩大政权基础的有效举措。

In the post Taihe era of the Northern Wei dynasty,which was at the turning point of medieval history,the royal clan family experienced the baptism of gentrification and sinicization.The marriage relation was the vivid and concentrated portrayal of the process.Through combing the literature,we find that family background is the primary standard for them to choose a spouse,and only first class high ranking men who have held official positions above the theird grade for generations can be shortlisted.The fact reflects the criteria of noble family marriage and the identity positioning of themself.Their marriage circle broke through the limitation of the political group and ethnic composition,reflecting the integration of Hu and Han upper classes.Boosted by the marriage of royal clan women,the ruling class of the Northern Wei dynasty had a strong sense of identity with the new aristocratic hierarchy,which was an effective measure to resolve ethnic conflicts and expand the foundation of political power.
