魏晋南北朝时期的北魏宗室元延明墓志虽然早在上世纪初叶出土,然尚无专文对墓志内容进行较为全面的考察。墓志连同传世传记以及其他相关的北魏宗室志文反映了元延明的世系、家族婚宦网络、人文与政治好尚等情况,乃至魏末乱局中隐微的政治图景。其中,元延明服膺华夏文化、长期处于中原名士和迁洛鲜卑内部汉化佼佼者之间的交游圈的经历,是促成其参与元颢入洛事件的重要因素。 Although the eunuch epitaphs of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Zong Yuan Dynasties during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties were unearthed as early as the early of the last century, there is no specific article on the contents of the epitaphs. The epitaphs, together with the biographical records and other related articles of the Northern Wei Dynasty, reflect the circumstance of Yuan Yanming’s lineages, family marriage networks, humanities and politics, and even the subtle political images in Wei’s chaos. Of these, Yuan Yanming’s experience of serving Chinese culture and long-standing friendship between the celebrities of the Central Plains and the leader of Hanization in Qionghuo Xianbei was an important factor in his involvement in the Yuanlu incident.
