摘要
敦煌文书《前大斗军使将军康太和书与吐蕃赞普》的作者康太和,传世文献鲜有记载。其人墓志的发现对于了解康太和的生平与开元、天宝年间唐蕃陇右战局,以及更好地理解有关敦煌文书大有裨益;许多史事志文与文书可相互补充和印证,康太和一生迁转频繁,志文对研究府兵制及有关折冲府多有帮助;天宝五载,皇甫惟明因不能夺取石堡城及陇右败绩而遭贬,作为皇甫惟明副手的康太和也是同样受到牵连,受了惩处而调离,直至天宝十二载去世,职位再无升迁;志文关于洮州赤岭戍的明确记载,具有补正史书之讹的重要作用,不仅为赤岭石堡城在洮州的观点提供了可信的证据,还为确定《新唐书·地理志》所记唐蕃道陇右段石堡城以下多个地名的方位提供了新坐标。
KANG Tai-he,the author of the Dunhuang manuscripts General Kang Taihe and Tubo Tsanpo(btsanpo,Tibetan Kings).There is few records about him,so the discovery of his epitaphs is of great importance to the understanding of KANG Tai-he’s life and the relationship between the Tang and Tubo during the Kaiyuan and Tianbao period in the Tang Dynasty,and to the better understanding of the Dunhuang Manuscripts.Many historical epitaphs and documents can complement and confirm each other.KANG Tai-he had served as many different positions throughout his life,so his epitaphs is also helpful to understand the military system and the Zhechong Government Office.In the fifth year of the Tianbao period,KANG Tai-he Kang was demoted and transferred away,and he didn’t get promoted before he died in the twelfth year of the Tianbao period.His epitaphs has clear record of Chiling Garrison in Taozhou,which not only provides credible evidence for the viewpoint of Chiling Shibao City locating in Taozhou,but also provides new coordinates for the location of several places at Longyou’s right section of the Tang-Tubo Road in Shibao City recorded in The New Book of the Tang’s History.Geography.
