礼仪背后:北宋大朝会意涵探究

Behind the Etiquette: the Meaning for the Largest Assembly in Northern Song Dynasty

大朝会为中国古代朝会礼仪之首,其纷繁变动与兴衰起伏,往往能从礼仪背后找到意涵层面的深刻原因。历代沿革是意涵形成的基础,而北宋大朝会在时代特殊性影响下从整体上继承了对皇权、对庆贺的凸显,却逐渐脱离了改元、大赦与参政。从特殊演化上进一步发展出"对地方割据政权的否定与施压","王权意涵的借用与架空","改革境况的仪礼体现"以及"五月朔意涵的重新构造"四个重要方面。可以说,北宋大朝会意涵是我们理解礼仪与时局变动的重要视角。

The largest assembly was the most important part of assemblies in ancient China , of which multi-plicity and change could be deeply reasoned by meaning behind the etiquette .The evolution through different peri-ods was the base of meaning , however , the largest assembly in the northern Song Dynasty only chose part of it , es-pecially in imperial power and celebration from the macroscopic view , and developed its own important contents , which were deny and pressure for local regimes , borrowing and ignoring for imperial power , the reflection of reform situation by etiquette, and the reconstruction of meaning for May 1st.So we can see that the meaning of the largest assembly in the northern Song Dynasty is an important perspective through which we can understand the changes of etiquette and political situation .
