宋代功臣配享述论

A Study on Gongchen Peixiang in Song Dynasty

功臣配享是古代帝王对有功之臣的最高酬劳,也是激励其他臣僚、引导政治舆论的重要方式。宋代在继承前代制度的基础上,形成了具有自身特点的配享之制。在配享功臣的选择上,宋代君臣本着尊崇宗庙和激励后继大臣的原则,采取了慎重的态度,并依据了较为严格的标准。功臣配享与宋代政治关系密切,它反映了当朝君臣的政治态度,是当权政治集团利益和要求的直接体现。

Peixiang （previliges） was not only the most important recompense for Gongchen （officials of merit） in the ancient time, but also the significant way to inspire others and guide political opinion. A kind of distinguishing system of Peixiang, which inherited the practice of the preceding dynasties, brought on in Song Dynasty. Sovereigns selected officials of merit carefully according to the principle of worshipping ancestral temple and recovering other officers. There were intimate relations between politics and Peixiang on officials of merit, because it embodied the change of political surroundings in Song Dynasty, and at the same time, reflected ideology of sovereign and officials.
