乾隆帝西巡五台山考

To Delve into Qianlong Emperor's Westen Inspection Tour Connections to Tibetan Buddhism of Mount Wutai

文章基于中国第一历史档案馆所藏乾隆朝《军机处上谕档》《大清高宗纯皇帝实录》《乾隆帝起居注》《清宫内务府造办处档案总汇》,及录副奏折、题本、硃批奏折等原始资料,尝试重新架构乾隆帝六次西巡五台山之史实,从微观视角,全新解析乾隆帝朝台的具体历史原因、过程,并从乾隆帝自身、北京皇家藏传佛教信仰的发展和成型及五台山藏传佛教的发展三个维度,来诠释其六巡五台的历史意义。

Mainly relying on such originally-stored documentary files as Imperial Edict of Privy Council, Veritable Records of Qianlong Emperor, File Compiling of the imperial Household Department, and Memorials, etc in the First Historical Archives of China, the thesis is to attempt to reframe the already existed historical records of Qianlong＇ s Western Tour to Mount Wutai for six times throughout his life. Specifically, the thesis is to analyze the historical reasons of his tour to Mount Wutai from a completely new and micro perspective, furthermore, it is to expound on historical significance of this tour there from such 3 dimensions as the angle of Qianlong himself, the development of belief in Tibetan Buddhism by imperial family in Beijing then, as well as the development of Tibetan Buddhism of Mount Wutai.
