藩国与羁縻地方政权:唐高祖东北边疆封授政策研究

The vassal states and the local Jimi governments:A study of the northeast borderland investiture policy of Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang dynasty

唐王朝的边疆封授政策是一项柔性的政治、文化措施,唐高祖通过其施行初步区分了东北边疆地区的藩国和羁縻地方政权。前一层次包括高句丽、新罗与百济三国,后一层次涉及靺鞨、契丹等民族或政权,唐王朝对这两个层次的首领进行了不同性质的封授,虽然封授政策本身尚不完善,但得到了顺利实施,使东北边疆秩序初步建立起来。

The borderland investiture policy of the Tang dynasty was a flexible measure either politically or culturally, through which Emperor Li Yuan gave a preliminary division of the vassal states and Jimi local regimes in the borderlands of northeast China. The former included the vassal states of Xinluo, Koguryo and Paekche, while the latter included the groups or local regimes of Mohe, Qidan, etc.. The Tang Imperial Court granted different investitures upon the local chieftains. Although the policy itself was not perfect, its implementation was quite successful, which helped the maintainance of the order of the borderlands of northeast China.
