中新网西安6月3日电 (记者 阿琳娜)记者3日从陕西省考古研究院获悉,考古人员对裴淑墓的最新研究表明,裴淑的葬礼在29个月内经历多次变故,发生变故的原因包括裴淑与元稹的合葬方式、术士对葬时葬地的占卜结果、发现打破前人墓葬的处理方式等,其中蕴含着家庭财产继承权、风水谶纬与法律规定、人情关系与社会舆论等种种博弈。

裴淑葬于唐咸通五年,封河东郡君,身份应为四品上下。

汉景帝阳陵博物院研究员李明介绍,裴淑葬礼的时间和墓葬的选址均是由术士推算而来,但建造过程中发现前人古墓。合法的处理方法是立即停工,对古墓进行修复后放弃原址,另行选址建墓。但裴淑墓是在原有的早期唐墓破坏、改建基础上建成的。按照唐代法律规定,这是一种严重的违法行为。主持葬礼的元道护冒着违法和大不吉的风险,也要坚持完成葬礼。这可能是更改葬日的主要原因。

裴淑与元稹共同生活了15年,元稹死后,因无嫡子,裴淑执掌元氏家族32年。到裴淑去世时,元稹的在世子女只有侍人李氏所生之子元道护和已婚居家的裴淑女元氏。

《裴淑墓志》的制作,是由元道护、裴淑女元氏和韦绚(元稹前夫人韦丛所生嫡长女元保子的丈夫)三人共同完成的。三人与裴淑的关系在她的葬礼中起到决定性作用。

“从元稹诗中得知,他本意与韦丛同穴合葬,但最终未能如愿。而裴淑本意与元稹同穴合葬,最终也未能如愿。”李明表示,裴淑主持元稹葬礼时怀有私心,使元稹与韦丛同穴合葬的愿望没有实现。而元道护与裴淑的矛盾、韦绚对元道护的支持,加之裴淑女元氏的默认,裴淑与元稹同穴合葬的愿望也没有实现。最终造成了元稹夫妇三人“韦坟旧西,裴垄新东,左右夹附,举案于中”的合葬形式。

李明表示,通过裴淑墓,可以看到,在中晚唐时期,影响家庭重大决策的最主要因素是礼法,其次是人情所向,风水谶纬可按需取用,至于法律规定则完全看执行程度。而葬礼的决定权则出于葬礼的主持者即家庭事务的继承人的意志。礼法是维持家庭秩序的基本规矩,除了礼法不能违背外,必要的情况下其他因素皆可操作。(完)

A Trump visit to Hong Kong would be a strategic masterstroke

Hong Kong is experiencing a resurgence as a global financial hub, surpassing Switzerland in wealth management and climbing competitiveness rankings. This comeback is partly due to geopolitical shifts favoring Chinese companies listing in Hong Kong. The city now has an opportunity to leverage improved US-China relations following the Xi-Trump summit to repair ties with Western allies, which were damaged by the national security law and subsequent US sanctions.
