从敦煌写本类书《励忠节钞》看唐代的知识、道德与政治秩序

Knowledge, Morality and Politics of the Tang Dynasty as Reflected in the Dunhuang Documents

本文以敦煌写本类书《励忠节钞》为中心,持之与《帝范》,《臣轨》,《珠玉抄》、《新集文词九经抄》等通俗教育读本相比较,探讨唐代知识体系的构成、社会秩序和道德秩序的建构及其在维护政治统治秩序方面的作用。研究表明,唐王朝通过文化知识和道德伦理教育,使得唐代广大庶民阶层不仅具有较为丰富的文化知识,而且具有较高的道德水准,从而确立了唐代社会的文化知识基础和道德伦理规范,反过来,这又为建立政治秩序与典籍秩序统一的新国家起到了关键的纽带作用。

Based on the various documents unearthed in Dunhuang, the paper analyses the knowledge structure, political order and moral standards, and their functions in the governance, of the Tang Dynasty. Historical evidences indicate that, with moral cultivation and knowledge dissemination among the general public, the Tang government accomplished enormous achievements in the establishment of an orderly society.
