初答《兄终弟继质疑》

Reply to Query on "the Younger Brother Succeeds His Elder Brother after His Death"

北宋壮族起义领袖侬智高的母亲阿侬在其夫侬全福遇害后,转嫁特磨道首领侬夏卿之事应属广义的“兄终弟继”;侬全福与侬夏卿为上下级关系,并非不认识;阿侬嫁给侬夏卿也不是因为阿侬母子在广源州站不住脚“来归附”,不能给他们的婚姻戴上“没有爱慕之情”或“恐怕出于政治目的”等帽子。

Nong Zhi-gao was the leader of Zhuang nationality＇s insurgence in North Song Dynasty. His mother, A＇ nong, married Xia Qing who was the leader of Temodao, after her husband, Nong Quan-fu was assassinated, In a broad sense, it was normal that brother had succeeded younger brother. Nong Quan-fu and Nong Xia-qing were not in the leader-subordinate relationship and indeed they did not know each other. Therefore, they did not deserve the criticism that there was no love in their marriage or they married only for political purpose, nor was the fact that A-nong and her son went to rely on him just because they was not dependent in Guangyuan prefecture.
