辽代功臣制度初探

First inquiry on the title hero system of Liao Dynasty

针对辽代功臣制度研究不足的现状,以《辽史》等文献资料为基础,充分利用了辽代的汉文石刻材料。结果表明,辽代功臣制度呈现出较大的随意性;功臣号授予方式包括"初赐后加赐"和"赐后改赐"。得出如下结论:辽代的"功臣"被赐予社稷大臣、属国的国主、耄年和致仕官员以及功勋后代;一般情况下,带有节度使身份的官员才有被封赐功臣资格。

In view of present situation which is insufficient in Liao Dynasty rewarding system aspect. The paper takes ＂Liao History＂ materials and so on as the foundations, and uses Chinese written language carved stone material of Liao Dynasty fully. The result indicates that Liao Dynasty rewarding system is capriciousness,which included two ways of contribution such as ＂bestowing more after the initial rewarding＂ and ＂altering the rewards after the initial rewarding＂. In Liao Dynasty, the title ＂hero＂ was conferred to people like statesmen, kings of vassal states, aged and recently-recruited officials, as well as descendants of heroes. Normally speaking, only the officers ranked as Jiedushi （Precinct Officer） were eligible of being granted as ＂hero＂.
