南朝岭南三江督护的活动地域新探

New Exploration of Sanjiang Duhu's Jurisdiction Areas in Lingnan during the Southern Dynasties

三江督护是南朝在岭南地区设置的西江、南江、东江督护的总称,其最初参与平定叛乱,之后职责明确为专征俚僚。三江督护作为督护的一种,在南朝成为独立领军的正式职官,在军事上脱离了与刺史的统属关系;但是在行政关系上,三江督护大多由郡太守兼任,甚至有些州刺史也兼任督护一职,实现了领军与领民的统一。通过对南江督护活动地域的探讨可知三江督护的活动地域并非指具体的河流,而是以广州为中心划分活动地域,西江、南江、东江督护分别位于广州以西、以南、以东。三江督护的设置加强了中央王朝对岭南的控制,推动了岭南的开发与管理,中央王朝对岭南的治理进入了新阶段。

The Sanjiang Duhu(三江督护)were the general term for the Xijiang Duhu,Nanjiang Duhu,and Dongjiang Duhu,set up by the Southern Dynasties in the Lingnan(岭南).Initially,they participated in quelling rebellions,and later their responsibilities were specifically defined to suppress the Li and Liao tribes.,As a type of Duhu,the Sanjiang Duhu became an official position of independent military command in the Southern Dynasties,detaching themselves from the Cishi(刺史)in military terms:However,in administrative terms,most of the Sanjiang Duhu concurrently served as Taishou(太守),and some Cishi even concurrently held the position of Duhu,achieving the unification of military and civilian leadership.Through an exploration of the jurisdiction regions of the Nanjiang Duhu(南江督护),it is found that the regions of the Sanjiang Duhu do not refer to specific rivers but were regions divided with Guangzhou as the Center.The formation of the Sanjiang Duhu enhanced the central dynasty's,control over Lingnan,spurring its development'and management,ushering in a new phase of governance.
