“Centralization” is the concept used by Dr. Han-Kuang Mao, to describe the phenomenon that the great families emigrated from provinces to the two capitals, Changan and Luoyang, in Tang Dynasty. Dr. Mao's research has had given great light on this subject and inspire us to realize and estimate how the elites had changed their identity from local nobles to pure bureaucrats. But after ''centralization'', had great families settled in Changan or Luoyang for a long time and regained family influence at new home? In this paper, I tried to do research with more than fifty funerary epitaphs belonged to the members of the Fan-yang Lu family Paosu fang, as a case study to observe and examine the characters of inhabitation and migration of the great families in Tang China. Paosu fang emigrated to Luoyang in early Tang Dynasty and lived together with several generations. However, after the An Shih rebellion(755- 763) , a lot of descendants of Paosu fang inhabited away from homeland until they died but still buried back to the family graveyard in Luoyang. It seems that Luoyang as a family stronghold of Paosu fang just came true in the hereafter. |
