唐代官员不愿外任刺史,这是由多种原因造成的。学术界通常的观点认为,唐代官场存在着较为浓厚的重京官轻外职的风气,是造成官员不愿担任刺史等地方官的主要原因。这种观点并无不妥,但不全面。笔者认为,官员是否愿意外任刺史,与将要赴任之地的自然及人文环境之优劣存在着密切的关系。 Officials in the Tang Dynasty did not want to be outside the provincial governorate, which was caused by a variety of reasons. The common view in academia is that there is a strong officialdom in the Tang Dynasty, which is the reason why officials are reluctant to serve as magistrates and other local officials. This view is not wrong, but not comprehensive. In my opinion, whether officials are willing to appoint a foreign governor or not, there is a close relationship with the pros and cons of the natural and humanistic environment where they are going to go.
