本文以北朝戰爭書寫為題。記錄北朝戰爭的大多是正史等歷史文獻，這些並非全然客觀中立的書寫，而是包含官方意識形態、史家個人情懷等因素；甚至一些看似「客觀」的記錄，如兵力數字、氣候、地理，其實也有可能經過了史家有意的再創造。本文嘗試對歷史文本做進一步發掘，分析文本的內外關聯，如影響戰爭書寫的政治文化力量、史學內部傳統等，從而從側面增進對於古代戰爭的認識。 / 本文匯集一些個案研究，分別討論北朝幾次戰爭記錄中的兵力數字、北周開國君主形象、北朝勝利和失敗的武將的書寫方式、胡族戰略戰術分析，以及記錄李淵建唐的《大唐創業起居注》等。 / 本文嘗試指出，北朝戰爭書寫最為突出的特點，可歸結為「去胡化」，或者「由胡入漢」：北朝諸政權大多是胡族政權，但在東魏北齊以及唐初的史家筆下，這些北朝胡族政權的君主、將士，胡族色彩並不濃重，反而大多蒙上一層漢族文化的面紗；胡人的戰略戰術、戰爭過程的記錄都接近漢人的傳統方式。 / This dissertation discusses the writing of warfare in the Northern Dynasties, Medieval China. Most of the records on the warfare are from official histories written in Northern Qi (550-577) and Tang Dynasty (618-907). These records, however, are under the influence of political and cultural powers, such as political struggles and orthodoxy. Even some of so called objective description, such as records of the place, time, figure and climate may be kind of recreation of the writers. This dissertation tries to analyze context of these records, including their political and cultural background, along with the development of historiography and other writing traditions. / This dissertation is made up of several case studies, discussing respectively figures in battle, adventure of Yuwen Tai (the leader of the military group in Western Wei), the image of generals in the Northern Dynasties, the description of strategy and tactics of nomad people, and the historical record of Li Yuan, founder of Tang Dynasty. The principal conclusion is that in the official histories historians descript nomad people in traditional Chinese way. Sinicization of the nomad people is the most important characteristics of the writing of warfare in Northern Dynasties: the nomad leaders and generals are close to Chinese emperors and generals, the nomadic way of war is replaced by the Chinese way. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / 雷仕偉. / Parallel title from added title page. / Thesis (Ph.D.) Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2015. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 246-254). / Abstracts also in English. / Lei Shiwei.

本文擬以西方「軍事革命」理論的角度，探討萬曆朝鮮戰爭時期，明軍薊鎮部隊的作戰表現。戚繼光「軍事革命」獨特之處在於，除訓練單兵作戰技巧外，亦重視部隊戰術隊型、協同作戰及指揮系統。從對抗倭寇時的步兵鴛鴦陣開始，至薊鎮抗虜時發展出步兵、騎兵、車兵、炮兵的協同作戰，是戚繼光「軍事革命」的主要元素。「戚家軍」戰鬥力之強勁，即根源於此。得益於戚繼光「軍事革命」的薊鎮部隊，是當時被成為「南兵」的主要部隊之一，在朝鮮戰場上更大放異彩，作戰表現遠勝明軍中的北兵。 / This thesis studies the performance of the Jizhen(薊鎮) Army during the Korean War (1592-1598) from the perspective of the "Military Revolution" theory. It argues that the Qi Jigunag revolutionized the training of the Ming army by focusing more on tactical formation, on coordination among different forces, on improving the commanding system, and also on more practical and united training of soldiers. As a result, the Ming army from Jizhen, also known as "the Southern Army", trained by the Qi Jiguang model, excelled in the Korean theatre by their military prowess and their good discipline and distinguished themselves from the more unruly and less competent Ming forces from the Northeast. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / 葉家銘. / Parallel title from English abstract. / Thesis (M.Phil.)
