内容摘要： 关于归义军节度使曹氏的民族归属，史学界存在着汉人和粟特人的争论。本文以正史对曹氏之死称“卒”不称“薨”的现象为线索，通过对比其他同级别的汉官与少数民族官员的死后之称，结合古代中国传统礼法，认为归义军节度使曹氏应为少数民族。

Abstract: Opinions differ on the ethnic identity of the governors of the Return-to-Allegiance Army at Dunhuang from Family Cao. There are two main opinions, one arguing they were Chinese and the other regarding them as the Sogdians. Judging by the phenomena that the death of these governors was usually called ＂ending （of life）＂ instead of ＂passing away,＂ this study compares the posthumous titles of Chinese and ethnic minority officials of the same rank and comes to the conclusion that they would have come from ethnic minorities.
