It happened that on June 17, Liu Jiaoshou called, and I told the old man about the night road mouth. Without saying anything, the old gentleman immediately remitted 2000 yuan, telling us to save the epitaph and give it to the Zuo Qi Museum in Bahrain. Jia and I found an insider and did a lot of work before he agreed to send the epitaph to the museum. The nuns in the museum personally rubbished Mr. Liu's manuscript and gave it to the elderly in Beijing. From the content of Sui Zheng's epitaph, we know that his name is also Han Chang. This discovery really puzzled Liao historians.
Han Dewei (the father of Sui Zheng), who was engraved in the fifteenth year of Tonghe, recorded in his epitaph that "Dewei has four sons: the first is Sui Zhong ... and the second is Chang." That is Han Chang, the second son of Han Dewei. At the same time, Lu Yesui, who was engraved in October of the seventh year of Taiping, is recording in the epitaph that "the public ban is righteousness, and the fierce test ban is virtue ... and the public is the second son of Shi Zhong (Xian)." Han Chang is the second son of Han Dewei. That's right.
Therefore, the epitaph written by the second son Lu Ye Zongfu also records: "His name is Zongfu, the second son of Han Dewei, and his brother Yuanzuo ... but why is the owner of the epitaph also called Han Chang, and why is Han Dewei's eldest son also called Suizhong?
By comparing the epitaphs of Han and Qidan, scholars have basically clarified the lineage of Han Zhigu family and corrected some mistakes in Liao history. At the same time, this paper makes an in-depth analysis of some issues in the genealogy of Han Dechang, the ninth son of Han Kuang-si, especially the question of whether the owner of Yelu Zuizhong Tomb in Chinese is the same person.
Han Dechang, word Kerou, Qidan Fuge, the ninth son of Han Kuangsi. Liao was born in four years (954) and died in five years (983) at the age of 29. His life experience is not recorded in Liao History. In the 19th year of Tongzhi, Han Derang was named Dechang. It was not until Han Dechang's epitaph was unearthed in Chinese that we got a general understanding of his resume and children. The epitaph reads: "There are two sons: the eldest son Guo San and the second son Xie Li Abo".
Liao history? "Gu Chuan" is accompanied by "Han Dening Biography": "Third, the German army will save our army in the end. Sun Gao, a slave, was the ambassador of the Southern Courtyard. High school, the end of Liao Xingjun. " According to the introduction of Han Dening's resume in Han Zhigu Biography and the unearthed Epitaph of Longyou in Lu Ye, it can be confirmed that Han Dening in Liao History is actually Han Deqing, the seventh son of Han Kuangsi, and later named Longyou. He has two sons, the firstborn and the second, probably because his son died young soon after his father's death, and there was no grandchild to inherit, so he adopted the second son Lu Ye Zongfu from his fifth brother Han Dewei (Zunning? Rudy inherited the family business. On the other hand, Han Dechang's own epitaph and grandson (Wang Ning? The small epitaph of his granddaughter (Di Luli) proves that his son is famous for staying in Ning. Among Guo Sanzhe and his grandson, there are famous Gao Nu and Gao Shi. Obviously, Liao history mistakenly regarded the descendants of Han Dechang as the descendants of Han Deqing. The discovery of related epitaphs solved this mystery.
However, for the interpretation of the Chinese epitaph in Suizhong, it is believed that Suizhong is to stay in Ning. Guo San, the reason is also very simple, because Han's epitaph only records that Han Dechang and his wife only have one son, Liu Ning? Guo Sanze's other son, Po, probably died young, which is not included in the epitaph, so Yelv Suizhong stayed in Ning? Guo San.
According to the above records in the epitaph, some information about the children of Yelv Suizhong is roughly sorted out. Personally, I think Lu Ye Suizhong should have five men and two women. Among them, the eldest son Luye Yuanzuo has the same name as his cousin Lu Ye Sui Zheng's eldest son. His father's name is Han Chang and Han Kerou. After the death of Han Dewei, it is not surprising that the people who wrote his epitaph carved the common name of "Sui Zheng" or "Chang" in Qidan into the epitaph. Originally, it was a very simple thing. Because of the different expressions of Khitan and Chinese, we don't know the extinct Khitan language now, which adds a bit of mystery, so there is confusion about who the tomb owner is.
Mr. Liu believes that in the Liao Dynasty, only the Khitan nobles had the right to learn the Khitan culture and writing, while ordinary people only spoke the Khitan language but could not write. Liao History was compiled by Yuan people based on the limited literature at that time hundreds of years after Liao died. At that time, Mongols didn't know much about the Khitan script (for example, Chu Cai specially invited a teacher to learn the Khitan script, nearly a hundred years after Liao's death). Due to the lack of information, coupled with the tight time for compiling history books by the imperial court and the chaotic narration, Liao history can be said to be the one with the most omissions in the twenty-five histories. In the process of compilation, scholars at that time deleted and revised back and forth according to the limited information left by Liao Dynasty, which caused many misunderstandings. Especially in biographies, it is very common in Liao history that biographies of ancestors are not completely explained, but directly talk about descendants. Only according to newly unearthed epitaphs, inscriptions and seals. Whether people can make further amendments to the imperfect Liao history.
Today, the Han family's epitaphs are neatly arranged in the exhibition hall on the third floor of the Zuo Qi Museum in Bahrain, quietly waiting for people's appreciation. Qidan people's seal cutting skills show the transcendental ancient charm; That fluent calligraphy is a black and white freehand brushwork between heaven and earth. In the eyes of people who know how to appreciate, it slowly precipitates and produces * * * sounds. Through the text, I seem to see the fresh individuals of the Han family. No matter who is immersed in the old saying, he will feel that he has become an indifferent and free and easy Khitan. In the long river of history, the memory of the Liao Empire is like a bright sun, mixed with reincarnation. After countless spring, summer, autumn and winter in an instant, the history of the rise and fall of the Han family is quietly displayed in front of people.
My thoughts returned to God. It has been a thousand years since 9 16 Liao was founded. At this time, the northern grassland of the motherland is still cool and breezy, and the years are quiet.
