唐代扬州波斯人李摩呼禄墓志研究

Abstract

扬州出土唐代波斯人李摩呼禄墓志记载墓主父亲名为罗呼禄，印证唐代摩尼教法师呼禄可能源自波斯语。墓主夫人姓穆，可能源自中亚的穆国。侄儿名为牌会，可能是波斯语巴列维。这方墓志还反映了唐代波斯人汉化史，指示了唐宋扬州胡人墓地。

The epitaph of Li Mohulu,a Persian living in the Tang Dynasty unearthed in Yangzhou recorded that the name of the father of the epitaph's master is Luohulu,which proved that the name of Master Hulu,a Manichaean preacher in the Tang Dynasty,would be from Persian language.The maiden family name of Li Mohulu's wife is Mu,showing that she might be from the Mu State(Merv)in the Central Asia.His nephew's name is Paihui,which might be“Pahlavi”in Persian.This epitaph reflected the Sinicization history of the Persian people in the Tang Dynasty and indicated the location of the cemetery of the Central and West Asian people in Yangzhou during the Tang and Song Dynasties.
