Analysis of the Reasons for Taking Fensi Officers In the Eastern Capital during the Tang Dynasty

一般论者将分司官的任职原因归为安置罢黜、远黜量移及性乐恬退等。分司官的任职原因除上述之外,还有赏功、重用、避祸、因病及照顾家庭等。一般官员乐意接受分司官之职,是因为在洛阳任分司官有以下几点优势:一是洛阳的自然条件与人文环境优越;二是分司官的待遇优厚;三是洛阳名流显宦云集,给分司官员提供了结交的机会;四是洛阳地处交通要道,可以使分司官迅速了解朝廷动向,同时为他们提供了结交过往官员的机会。优越的自然、人文环境及丰厚的待遇,对于赏功、因病以及年老分司者都是优待.名流显宦的云集与结交过往官员的方便,使政治上不甘寂寞的分司官看到了出路,尽管他们暂时离开了权力中心,但仍然可以利用东都的有利条件韬光养晦,寻求机会东山再起。
