内容摘要:根据敦煌文书和敦煌古碑铭中保留的张球署名作品、从佚失作者姓名的敦煌文书中已钩稽出的部分张球著述等,首先勾勒了这位晚唐文士生平的大致轮廓,即:张球出生于唐穆宗长庆四年(824),原本生长于江南越州,可能是于科举落第之后入幕新成立的归义军政权,累官至总揽文辞之责的节度判官掌书记,致仕后亦留居敦煌聚徒兴学、奉佛抄经,至公元911年尚在人世,在敦煌生活了五六十年。随后探讨了张球生平作品研究的意义,指出张球的生命轨迹与作品内容关乎的不仅仅是个人传奇,更是一个时代一个地区的历史,对其人其事其文的多角度多层面的深入剖析当有益于敦煌地区史、晚唐文学史、中国东西部地区文化交流史等相关学科研究的细化与深化。

A Textual Study on the Life of Zhang Qiu, a Literati of

Late Tang Dynasty

Abstract:This paper outlines the life of the Late Tang dynasty literati Zhang Qiu based on the contents of Dunhuang documents and stele inscriptions signed by Zhang Qiu in, and on the anonymous works among the manuscripts of Dunhuang that have been identified as having most likely been written by him. Zhang Qiu was born in the fourth year of the Changqing era during the reign of Emperor Mu of the Tang dynasty (824) and originally lived in Yuezhou, south of the Yangtze River. After failing to pass the imperial examination, Zhang likely served in the newly founded Gui-yi-jun regime as a counselor and secretary in charge of government paper work. It was in the capacity of an official that he lived in Dunhuang, where he was a devout believer in Buddhism, copied Buddhist scriptures, and gathered disciples for education. It can be reliably stated that Zhang was alive in the year 911 and lived in Dunhuang for a total of fifty to sixty years. This paper further explores the significance of studying Zhang Qius life and literary work, pointing out that his individual experiences and thought provide a wealth of information about the history of a specific time and place. Research on these topics is useful for refining and deepening related research fields, including the local history of Dunhuang, the history of Late Tang literature, and the history of cultural exchange between Western and Eastern cultures in China.

從原创地角度看,藏经洞保存的敦煌文书可以分为从外界传入的和于敦煌本地撰作的两大部类。前者包括从中原、敦煌周边地区乃至印度、波斯等地传入的文书,即便是由敦煌人抄录,其原创地也非敦煌本土;后者则撰写于中古时期的敦煌,记述或折射的是敦煌史事,其内容不见于传世文献,故而更受学界重视,文书作者也备受关注。

可是,撰成于敦煌本地文书的作者,就一定是土生土长的敦煌人吗?个别文书明显是以外来人口吻写成的文学作品,如《敦煌廿咏》等。它们的作者又是谁呢?以前没有发现外来文士长期在敦煌居留并创作的翔实资料,上述问题只能搁置,甚至没有受到应有的重视。……
