摘要
在士族势力强盛且膨胀的东晋南朝时期,婚姻更多地缔结为一种特定的政治关系.东晋一流高门陈郡谢氏,其家族的兴盛衰败,无可避免地直接影响到婚姻关系.时人重家族的观念,落实在当时的墓志撰写中,就是对门第、姻亲和子息的罗缕纪存.反映在谢氏家族墓志上,从最初略显简略的谢鲲墓志,到高峰时期的谢琉砖志,充分体现当时顶级高门的婚配情形,属于政治上的"强强联合".再下则是已见衰落的谢涛墓志.这些墓志,都真切见出了士庶天隔、侨吴不婚的基本现实,也是当时士族婚姻的一面镜子.凭借家族人口规模的扩增,士族姻亲织成了一张庞大的社会关系网,进而在当时的权力结构中不断伸张、迁延,直至再度衰落.
Abstract
The present paper,delving into newly discovered epigraphs of Xie Family in the Southern Dynasties,which demonstrated that then matrimonial affairs of noble families were closely related to the rise and fall of renowned hereditary houses,holds that marriage was then an embodiment of the political alliance be-tween powerful families and it must be operated in strict accordance with basic principles such as the sepa-ration between noble and common families and between migrant noble and indigenous southern families.
