唐元功臣中的粟特武人浅议

A Brief Analysis of Sogdian Warrior among Tang Yuan's Heroes

唐玄宗先后发动“唐隆政变”和“先天政变”,相继击败韦后集团与太平公主势力,最终从其父睿宗手中接过王权,登上帝位,在他夺取最高统治权力的过程中,北衙禁军发挥了重要作用,其中存在粟特人的身影。从现存《史思礼墓志》《何德墓志》《史伏保墓志》中,可以看到这些粟特武人起家于唐隆政变,长期忠心追随玄宗,在开元天宝年间,他们不断升迁,有的还仕至高官。由此可以窥见北衙禁军的演变发展、北衙武人的迁官路径,还可以看到唐朝开放包容的社会面貌与民族平等、融合的真实图景。

Emperor Xuanzong launched the"Tang Long Coup"and the"congenital Coup",successively defeated the Queen Wei Group and the forces of Princess Taiping,and finally took over the royal power from his father Ruizong and became emperor.In the process of his seizing the supreme ruling power,the palace gate guard army played an important role,among which Sogdian people were present.From the existing Shi Sili Epitaph,He De Epitaph and Shi Fubao Epitaph,we can see that these Sogdian warriors started from the Tang Long Coup and were loyal to Xuanzong for a long time.During the Kaiyuan and Tianbao period,they continued to rise,and some even became senior general.We can not only glimpse the evolution and development of the palace gate guard army,but also see the open and inclusive social landscape of the Tang Dynasty and the true picture of ethnic equality and integration.
