張弛於割據和恭順之間

To Choose between Separatism and Obedience - An Interpretation of Liu Ji’s Life -

2011년 북경시 房山區 長溝鎭에서 文化硅谷 건설 과정 중에 시공사가 唐 幽州 盧龍節度使 劉濟의 墓를 발견하였다. 2012에서 2013년까지 北京市文物硏究所는 劉濟墓에 대해 발굴을 시작하였다. 대량의 부장품이 출토됨과 동시에 묘 주인인 劉濟의 墓誌도 확인할 수 있었다. 2014년 6월 24일, 北京市文物局은 기자회견을 열어 房山 長溝에 있는 唐나라 劉濟 묘의 최신 고고학 발굴 성과를 발표하면서 소수의 문자를 제외하고 묘지 내용과 역사 문헌이 기본적으로 합치되는 것을 증명하였다.

In 2011, the tomb of Liu Ji was discovered in Beijing. Liu Ji was a Jiedushi (administrator) of Tang Dynasty in Youzhou(also called Lulong). Later the Beijing Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau announced that the epitaph content and historical documents matched basically except for a small number of words. As a frontiers minister, Liu Ji was documented richly in the official history. Both Jiutangshu and Xintangshu covered his biography. The Prime Minister Quan wrote an epitaph for Liu Ji and included epitaph into his own essay collection. Later in Qing Dynasty, Donggao also included the whole epitaph in Quantangshu. Youzhou was a strategic town in all the towns in Tang Dynasty. It was not only where Rebellion of An and Shi took place, it also had the largest rebel force and the most intense internal competition among the three rebel towns in Hebei Dao. This paper will first compare the similarities and differences of the content of the three materials and analyze the reasons for what caused the differences. It will give an interpretation of Liu Ji’s life and verify the cause of his death. It will present his attitude towards the court-somewhere in between separatism and obedience but never lose himself. To choose between separatism and obedience, Liu Ji would first consider his own interests. Only when selfinterest coincided with the court’s order, would he demonstrate his allegiance to court.
