1953年, 香港九龍西北岸李鄭屋徙置區施工時發現了一座漢墓。此後, 圍繞李鄭屋村古墓的修建時間, 林仰山、饒宗頤、屈志仁等學者都展開了學術討論, 他們大多從考古資料入手, 對比東漢後期漢墓與李鄭屋村古墓之間的異同, 卻較少對墓室發現的磚文進行考證。本文以李鄭屋村古墓出土的墓磚銘文爲切入點, 結合東漢後期嶺南地區的政治動亂來考察李鄭屋村古墓的修建時間。李鄭屋村古墓墓磚上模印的“番禺大治曆”與漢靈帝時期嶺南地區發生的交趾人梁龍、南海太守孔芝等人作亂事件有關。修模工匠通過在墓磚表面上模印帶有吉祥寓意的文字, 祈願嶺南地區的政治穩定, 表達了漢末嶺南人對戰亂的厭惡與對和平的渴望。

In 1953, a tomb from the Han dynasty was discovered during the construction of a resettlement area in Lei Cheng Uk, Sham Shui Po, on the northwest coast of Kowloon, Hong Kong. Following this discovery, scholars such as Frederick S. Drake, Jao Tsung-I, and James C.Y. Wat have engaged in academic discussions about the dating of the Lei Cheng Uk Han tomb. Their investigations mainly started from archaeological materials, comparing the tomb with other late Eastern Han tombs to identify similarities and differences. However, most of them have seldom researched on the inscriptions found on bricks within the tomb. This paper takes the inscriptions on the Lei Cheng Uk tomb bricks as a point of departure to investigate the construction time of the ancient tomb, in the context of the political turmoil in the Lingnan region during the late Eastern Han Dynasty. The inscription “Pan Yu Da Zhi Li” on the tomb bricks is related to the rebellions led by Liang Long and Kong Zhi in the Ling Nan region during Emperor Ling of Han’s reign. The auspicious messages stamped by the craftsmen on the bricks were intended as prayers for political stability in the region, reflecting the late Han people's abhorrence of war and their longing for peace.
