楚州献宝与改元宝应——唐肃宗、代宗之际政治史探微

Treasures Presentation in Chuzhou and Reign Designation of Baoying——Analysis of the Political Histor

  • 摘要: 唐肃宗元年建巳月壬子(宝应元年四月初三),楚州刺史崔侁上表,称有尼真如得天帝所赐定国十三宝。史籍对此事的记载分为两类:一是两《唐书》和《资治通鉴》等记载了楚州献宝的具体明目以及种数、枚数;二是《太平广记》等典籍对楚州献宝具体经过的记载添加了不少文学色彩,并对宝玉的种数、枚数做了修改。楚州献宝发生在安史之乱的特定历史背景下,要完全认识、解读此事件就需要在详细梳理肃宗末年中央及地方政治形势的基础上展开。楚州所献定国宝玉可视作一种复合型祥瑞,蕴含着肃宗的复古思想以及对安史之乱行厌胜之术等多重意义。

     

    Abstract: In April of the first year of Emperor Tang Suzong (namely in April of the first year of Baoying), the prefectural governor of Chuzhou Cui Shen submitted a report to the emperor, which said a nun named Zhen Ru got thirteen treasures given by God. The related historical records are divided into two categories. One is about the specific species and the number of treasures presented in Chuzhou, which is recorded in some history books written in biographical style such as New History of the Tang Dynasty, Book of Tang and History as a Mirror. The other is about the detailed process of Zhen Ru presenting the treasures and the modification of the specific species and the number of treasures which is recorded in ancient books and records such as Tai Ping Guang Ji. Because presenting treasures in Chuzhou occurred in the specific historical background of Rebellion of An and Shi, in order to fully understand and interpret this event, we need to comb the details based on central and local political situations in the last years of Emperor Tang Suzong. The auspicious jade in Chuzhou can be regarded as one kind of compound auspicious sign, which contains back-to-the-ancients ideology of Emperor Tang Suzong and many other significances such as suppressing the Rebellion of An and Shi.
