历史小说杨家将中的萧太后

Queen mother of Xiao in the historical novel Yangjiajiang

明朝人编写的历史小说杨家将,以表现杨家将忠君报国、英勇抗辽为主题。为了突出杨家将的光辉形象,用虚构的人物、情节竭力丑化以萧太后为代表的辽朝人物。缺乏历史知识的读者,常常把杨家将小说当成信史来读,误认为契丹是野蛮落后的异国他邦,这对中华民族的团结产生了负面影响。今人不应站在宋朝人、明朝人立场上去看待辽朝和契丹人,而应站在中华民族的高度,去正确地认识辽朝和契丹人。

Yangiiajiang,a historical novel,which was written in Ming dynasty,showed the theme about the loyalty to the king and dedication to the service of the country and resistance against Liao dynasty. For expressing the outstanding brilliant image of the Yangjiajiang, the fictitious characters and the polt were used to vilify the queen mother of Xiao of Liao dynasty,who was the representative of the Liao people. The readers who lack the historical knowledge,usually take the novel of the Yangjiajiang as the true history,and then think mistakenly Qidan was the barbaric country. It has the negative influence on the Chinese national unity. It shows that we should stand on the Chinese national height to recognize Liao dynasty and Qidan people correctly,not on the position of Song dynasty and Ming dynasty.
