日本古代天皇制国家的构建与谶纬思想

The Construction of Japan’s Ancient Imperial State and Thoughts of Chenwei

谶纬是盛行于中国两汉时期的神学思潮,极大地影响了经学,常为各派政治力量所利用,一度成为官方的统治思想。后被王朝统治者所忌惮,相关著述屡屡遭到禁绝,至隋唐时期已经散佚大半。但是,谶纬文献传入日本之后,不仅被较好地保存,其思想内容还被运用到政治当中。本文在回顾中国的谶纬思想与皇权构建的基础之上,通过对日本六国史中相关天皇纪的解读,探讨了谶纬思想在日本古代天皇制国家构建过程中发挥的作用及其对后世的影响。

Chenwei(Divination)was a prevailing theological trend of thought in the Han Dynasty.It greatly influenced the study of Confucian classics,and often used by various factions of political forces.It once became the official ruling ideology,but later it was feared by the dynastic rulers,so the relevant writings have been repeatedly banned.By the Sui and Tang Dynasties,most of them had been lost.However,after Chenwei was introduced into Japan,Not only has it been well preserved,but its ideological content has been applied to politics.On the basis of reviewing China’s Chenwei and the construction of imperial power,this paper discusses the role played by thoughts of Chenwei in the construction of Japan’s ancient imperial state and its influence on the later generations through the interpretation of relevant Tenno’s(emperor)records in the Six National Histories of Japan.
