平安时代内侍所镜烧损事件的思想史考察

Study on the Intellectual History of Fire Incidents Relate to the Mirror in the Naishi-dokoro during Heian Period

内侍所镜在平安时代三次宫廷火灾中程度不同地受损,本文考察该镜烧损的情况及朝廷的应对态度,认为其中反映了古代朝廷神镜观的如下特点:统治阶层尽力维持天皇制的政治意识,在应对烧毁事件中起到决定性作用;强调日本的神器有着神圣起源和连续性,刻意与中国古代人为制造的玺、鼎等王权象征物区分开来,神/人区隔与对置的背后是把日本与中国区隔和对立的民族主义性质的思维模式;平安时代的大部分时间里,统治阶层没有赋予神镜明显的道德或哲学意义,还是在天皇制神话框架内理解神镜。

The divine mirror,deified in the Naishi dokoro,was damaged.to varying degrees in three fire incidents during Heian Period.This study investigates the extent of damages of the mirror in the Naishi dokoro and corresponding attitudes from imperial court,considering these suggest the divine mirror view of the ancient court in the following three aspects.The highest decision-making layer,headed by the emperor,endeavored to maintain the Tennoism,which determined coping approaches to fire incidents.the dominance hierarchy emphasized the divine origin and continuity of Japanese artifacts,consciously distinguishing them from imperial symbols that were artificially produced in ancient China,such as Royal Seal and Tripod.The mode of separating and opposing deity and man reflects a nationalistic mindset of separating and opposing,Japan and China.During most of the Heian period,no obvious moral or philosophical significance about the secred mirror was endowed by the dominance hierarchy.It was recognized within the framework of the Tennoism mythology.
