五代十国时期归、峡二州归属考辨

五代十国时期,归、峡二州前后归属颇有不同,后梁至后唐庄宗伐蜀前,归、峡隶于前蜀;后唐明宗天成元年(926),归、峡二州方始改属南平(高氏荆南),其间又屡有反复,归州归属尤其如此;逮至天成、长兴之际,归州重入南平,南平以荆、归、峡三州为基本疆域范围的格局至是最终得以确立。其后的后晋、后汉、后周三朝,沿而未改,并一直延续到乾德元年(963)南平亡于北宋。

A Historical Survey of the Administrative Ownership of the Gui State and the Xia State from the Five-Dynasty Period to the Ten-Kingdom Period

The Five-Dynasty-Ten-Kingdom period witnessed a number of changes in the ownership of the states of Gui and Xia. From the Later Liang to the Later Tang, that is, before Zhuangzong sent an expedition against the Shu Kingdom, Gui and Xia belonged to the Former Shu. In the First Year of Tiancheng of Mingzong's reign (the year of 926 A.D.) of the Later Tang dynasty, the two states became Nanping's possession. After that, their ownership, especially that of Gui, shifted again and again. Up till the turn from the Tiancheng period to that of Changxing, Gui once again fell into Nanping, so that it was finally established that Nanping's territory basically covered the three states of Jing, Gui and Xia. This situation lasted in the dynasties of the Later Jin, the Later Han and Later Zhou, only to be changed in the First Year of Qiande's Reign (963 A.D.) when Nanping was conquered by the Northern Song.
