内容摘要:《西域图记》是研究隋唐时期中外交通的重要史料,惜在南宋时亡佚,现存七则佚文,其中一则保存在《大秦景教流行中国碑》中,其书序言讲述成书过程、篇章结构、主要内容。唐初《西域图记》残缺不全,且诸国题记次序错乱。《隋书》纪传编撰者将《西域图记》残本作为《西域传》的基本史料,并且保留原样,不作修正,以致今本《隋书·西域传》西域二十国编排混乱,与《西域图记》序言中四十四国及其以交通位置系国的叙述不符。

Abstract: Xiyu Tuji(“A Geographical Record of the Western Regions”written in the Sui dynasty by Pei Ju)is very important for studying the exchanges between China and foreign countries in the Sui and Tang dynasties. The complete text was unfortunately lost in the Southern Song dynasty, but seven documents relevant to its creation and content have been recovered. One is in The Tablet Recording the Popularization of Nestorianism from Rome in China, which records how the book was written, what chapters it consisted of, and what it was about. Another version of the Xiyu Tuji from the Early Tang dynasty is incomplete and the chapters are out of order. Finally, the compilers of The Book of The Sui Dynasty adopted the text unaltered as the basic material for the chapter on“Traditions of the Western Regions.”This lead to some confusion about the order of the twenty Western Region kingdoms, as the adopted text does not accord with the records of the forty-four kingdoms and their locations found in the preface of Xiyu Tuji.

Keywords: Xiyu Tuji;“Traditions of the Western Regions”in the Book of the Sui Dynasty ; Pei Ju

裴矩《西域图记》三卷,《隋书·裴矩传》[1]、《北史》[2]、《旧唐书》[3]、《新唐书》[4]均录是名,《通典》[5]、《太平御览》[6]引文书名与之相同。《史记正义》[7]、《太平寰宇记》[8]引文书名或作《西域图记》,或作《西域记》。《隋书·经籍志》[1]987、《通志》则别作《西域图》,并且郑樵明言本书配图在南宋时已经亡佚[9]。裴矩(?—627),字弘大,河东闻喜人,历仕北齐、北周、隋、唐四朝,官至民部尚书,《资治通鉴》称其“佞于隋而忠于唐”,《隋书》《北史》《旧唐书》《新唐书》存其传记。

关于《西域图记》研究,后之学者主要侧重在三个方面:其一,佚文辑录与成书时代考证。清人章宗源从《太平寰宇记》中辑出一则佚文[10],日本学者内田吟风从《史记正义》《玉海》《通典》中辑录四则佚文,又据营建东都与裴矩转黄门侍郎的时间,推定本书在大业二年(606)正月至七月间成书[11]。李锦绣先生以《洽闻记》所引其书佚文为线索,结合《通典》《唐会要》《册府元龟》诸史籍,复原《西域图记》“吐火罗”条佚文[12]。……
