释宋太祖“今之武臣欲尽令读书”

On Song Taizu's "Asking all the Army Generals to Read Books"

宋太祖“今之武臣欲尽令读书”,着眼于提高禁军武将群体的文化素质,特别是对于儒家经典的相关修养,促使北宋武将群体由五代的“不知书”向儒学化方向转变,对皇权自觉效忠的程度大大加强。这是一种针对性很强的思路,从“疏导”的角度,为五代以来皇权与武将群体之间持续紧张关系的顺利调整,发挥了重要的作用。

Song Taizu＇s ＂asking all the army generals to read books＂ focused on improving the culture level of Jin army generals, especially the culture level on the Confucian classics. It promoted the transformation from warriors ＂knowing nothing about books＂ in the Five Dynasties to the tendency of confucianism. It also reinforced army generals＇ consciousness of loyalty greatly. This was a measure of pertinence, from the aspect of scattering, which presented a significant effect or rectifying the long-lasting tension between the emperor＇s power and army generals.
