《全宋文》所收碑銘之宋初內臣史料初考

Abstract

本文分別考辨宋初內臣二十六人之生平事蹟，主要取材自《全宋文》第一至第八冊所收載的碑銘題記，並參用對照數種《全宋文》未收錄之宋人碑銘集，以及北宋史研究的幾種基本史料如《宋史》、《續資治通鑑長編》、《宋會要輯稿》，另及相關的宋人文集與筆記。本文所考之宋初內臣中，既有位高權重之大檔，也有名不見經傳的小黃門。透過這些相關的考述，無疑能在史料上大大補充了宋史研究者對宋初內臣各方面之認識。 This article provides with scholars of Song studies the supplementary source materials on early Northern Sung eunuchs. These source materials are basically extracted from the stone inscription that have been recently compiled in the canonical work Complete Sung Prose (vol.1 to 8). In this article, the accounts of twenty-six eunuchs prevailed in early Northern Sung Dynasty were examined. Some of the eunuchs mentioned in the article were high-ranking and possessed great influence in court politics, some were merely struggling at the bottom of the hierarchy and never know by historians. The article would undoubtedly enrich our understandings of the Northern Sung eunuchs at all aspects.
