中国古代排阵使述论

为了探讨排阵使这一职官在中国古代的发展脉络,通过梳理历史文献的方法,研究显示:随着作战阵法的复杂化,唐代首先出现了排阵使这一职官,五代时任命较为频繁.宋代沿袭五代亦设有排阵使,但自澶渊之盟后排阵使就退出了历史舞台.排阵使为高级武官的差遣,多以任节度使的武臣出任,或由军事指挥官兼任,也有以内侍担任排阵使的情况,此时多为排阵都监,更侧重监督的职能.五代时期尚武精神浓厚,因此选择排阵使以武勇为先.宋代由于实行将从中御之策,皇帝多选用亲信出任排阵使.排阵使职能不限于排阵,往往参与军事指挥和具体的军事行动.军事统帅往往身兼排阵使,或军事统帅本身负责排阵,因此排阵使逐渐失去独立存在的理由.
