新出《李世寿墓志》与唐初宗室治理交州论考

The Examination of the Newly Published“Li Shishou’s Tombstone Inscription”and the Imperial Clan’s Governance of Jiaozhou in the Early Tang Dynasty

汉唐时期交州是中央王朝开拓经略南部边疆和海洋的重镇,并与“海上丝绸之路”的盛衰安危密切相关。六朝至唐初交州地区政治军事形势十分严峻而复杂。新出《李世寿墓志》记载了唐初皇室成员李世寿出任交州都督的背景和经历,反映了唐朝统治者对于交州战略地位的高度重视。唐初中央先后委派了至少6位皇室成员出任交州都督,同时又通过增派御史、黜陟大使等以加强对交州地区官员的监督和查处,其结果既使长期以来困扰中央王朝的交州吏治问题得到很大的改观,也为唐朝对交州地区的有效治理以及“海上丝绸之路”的高度繁盛发展创造了条件。

During the Han and Tang dynasties,Jiaozhou交州was a major town for the central dynasty to develop,plan and manage the southern border and the sea,and it was closely related to the prosperity and decline of the“Maritime Silk Road”.The political and military situation in the Jiaozhou area from the Six Dynasties to the early Tang Dynasty was severe and complicated.The newly-release“Li Shishou’s Tombstone Inscription”李世寿墓志records the background and experience of Li Shishou,a member of the royal family of the early Tang Dynasty,who became the governor of Jiaozhou,reflecting the great importance the rulers of Tang Dynasty attached to the strategic position of Jiaozhou.In the early Tang Dynasty,the central government successively appointed at least six members of the royal family as governors of Jiaozhou,and at the same time strengthened the supervision and investigation of the officials in Jiaozhou by sending more censors and personnel evaluation commissioners,etc.The result was that the official rule of Jiaozhou,which had long plagued the central government,had been greatly improved,and it also created the conditions for the effective governance of Jiaozhou and the high prosperity and development of the“Maritime Silk Road”in Tang Dynasty.
