溪州铜柱树立与迁徙考论

Research on the Erection and Transfer of the Copper Pillar in Xizhou

溪州铜柱是五代时期溪州之战的产物。楚国内部的斗争和楚蜀争夺政治同盟是溪州之战爆发的原因。楚王利用这次战争,不仅在内部清除了兄弟间争夺王位的势力,还利用彭氏土著势力与后蜀政权展开政治博弈和军事争夺,最后树立溪州铜柱,以和谈盟誓的手段获得五溪之蛮的归顺,是古代军事斗争与和平统一解决矛盾冲突的成功案例。而溪州铜柱是溪州自治安宁、和平的象征,其铜柱形制、始立地和迁徙,直接影响溪州与中央王朝的关系,对彭氏司治及社会生活产生了深远的影响。

The copper pillar of Xizhou was a result of the Xizhou Battle.The battle was fought during the Five Dynasties period,because of the internal struggle within the Kingdom of Chu under the rule of the Ma family and the rivalry between the Chu State and the Shu State for political alliance.The king of the Chu State used this battle not only to eliminate the vying forces of his brothers for the throne,but also assisted by the native force of the Peng family,to compete with the Later Shu regime over political and military power.He eventually erected the Xizhou copper pillar and won the submission of barbarian tribes of the Five Creeks through negotiations and sworn alliance.This is a successful case of solving conflicts with military struggle and peaceful unification in ancient times.The copper pillar is the symbol of peaceful self-rule of Xizhou to the extent that its shape,original place of erection and transfer all directly affected the relationship of Xizhou with the central government,resulting in far-reaching influence on the rule of the Peng family and social life.
