北魏后期禁卫武官制度考论

孝文帝两次官制改革（４９３／４９９）后，北魏王朝确立了与魏晋南朝相似的禁卫武官制　度，领军将军为禁卫军最高长官，其下有左、右卫将军—武卫将军。通过对史传及碑志资料　的钩稽考察可知：北魏后期领军将军执掌禁卫军大权，其职主要由外戚、宗室等帝室姻亲担　任，在政治斗争中有着举足轻重的影响；左、右卫将军承担皇宫机要禁卫职责，其担任者仍　以宗室、权臣子弟、亲信为多；武卫将军侍卫君主左右，负责禁中宿卫。领军－左右卫－武卫　将军构成了北魏后期禁卫武官制度的主体。

An Examination of Imperial Guard Officer System in the Latter Half of the Northern Wei

With two reforms in 493 and 499, Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei etablished a similar imperial guard system to the Wei, Jin, and Southern Dynasty with lingjun as the top officer over zuoyouwei and wuwei officers. The first position was kept by the imperial relatives who played an important role in political fights and the second mostly by members of the imperial clans and ministers in charge of imperial privacy with the wuwei officers as the king's bodyguards.
