摘要
郭景脩是北宋中后期的一名中下级武官,在历史上只能算是个小人物,正史中几乎不见踪影。可是今天能读到的他的墓志铭却有六千余字,其长度,可与正史中少数最著名的人物传记相提并论。可惜迄未引起研究者的重视。仔细研读墓志铭,可知,郭景脩的人生颇具传奇色彩。他少时的理想是通过科举直接担任文官,可因缘际会,他的仕途却是从武举开始的,绝大部分时间都是做武官。他供职于北宋的边防机构,从最低级别的武官开始,经过不懈努力,成为主管民政的州级行政长官。与历史上某些具有划时代影响的大人物相比,他显然没有很高的才能,他的业绩中最值得称道的是成功地经营了阶州(甘肃武都),使当地羌人归顺了宋廷。但是,他的一生,却是北宋中下层武官,特别是从事边防事业的中下层武官的缩影。从这样一个小人物的身上,可以清晰地看到北宋与周边少数民族政权,特别是吐蕃、西夏王朝之间的复杂关系,看到北宋重文轻武国策的深远影响,这些已经是实实在在的大历史了。
GUO Jing--xiu is an ordinary military officer in North Song Dynasty, and could but be counted a small figure in history, who could find no name in official records. However, his grave tomb tablet that we could see today contains more than 6 thousand Chinese characters, a length that could match the few of the most famous figures in the official history in North Song. Nevertheless, researchers so far have paid no attention to it. A careful reading of the scripture reveals that GUO＇s life is well characterized with legend. His childhood ideal is to become a civil officer via. imperial competitive examination, but his official career starts with military test, and he is a military officer most of his later life. He holds office in frontier institution of North Song Dynasty. In fact, he starts from the lowest rank and becomes a regional state administrative officer who is chiefly responsible for civil administration. Therefore, compared with those who have great influence in the Chinese history, he is apparently not given much talent, and the most commendable achievement is the successful administration of Jie Zhou （Wudu in Gansu Province）, and converts the local Qiang minority people to the Song Kingdom. Yet his whole life is epitome of the middle and lower ranked officers who involve in frontier causes in North Song. From this small figure could one see clearly the complicated relations of North Song with its surrounding minority nationality powers, particularly with Tu Bo and West Xia Dynasty, and the profound influence of Song＇s national policy of thinking much of the civilian affairs but belittling the military, all of which are practically big history, however.
