唐代“排比”考

A Textual Research on“Paibi”in the Tang Dynasty

唐代文献中的“排比”一词,现代学者往往训释为“安排准备”。考察唐代“排”和“比”的释义变化,根据“排比”诞生的语义场,推断最早的“排比”指的是“两人制横向队伍编次”。在此基础上,进一步探究“排比”一词的发展全貌,可以看出“排比”最早出现在军事活动中,由“编次队伍”逐渐向“整顿安置”转变,到达晚唐五代,“排比”一词臻于成熟,出现了“安排准备”的新释义。“排比”一词的产生和发展,与唐代的军制息息相关,反映出唐代列队方式的变化和行军制度的成熟。

The term“Paibi”in the literature of the Tang Dynasty is often interpreted by modern scholars as“arrangement and preparation”.The author examines the interpretation changes of“Pai”and“Bi”in the Tang Dynasty,and infers that the earliest“Paibi”refers to the“two-person horizontal team arrangement”based on the semantic field of the birth of“Paibi”.On this basis,by further exploring the overall development of the term“Paibi”,we can see that“Paibi”first appeared in military activities,gradually changing from“ranking ranks”to“reorganization and placement”;as for the Mid-Tang Dynasty;in the late Tang and Five Dynasties,the term“Paibi”got maturity with a new interpretation of“arrangement and preparation”.The emergence and development of the term“Paibi”is closely related to the military system of the Tang Dynasty,reflecting the changes in the formation of the Tang Dynasty and the maturity of the marching system.
