权术与巫术:金田起义前后的“上帝家庭”——以《天兄圣旨》中所见为中心

Politics and Witchcraft: The God's Family Around Jintian Uprising——Focused on the Findings in Tian-xiong Imperial Edicts

金田起义前后,杨秀清、萧朝贵先后利用降僮巫术假托天父、天兄下凡,这与太平天国早期领导人争逐权力有关,其中,萧朝贵借天兄下凡的频次曾先后出现三次高潮,这种频次变化与当日拜上帝会内外政治形势之变动密切相关,是萧朝贵个人假托天兄下凡试图扩张权力的三次尝试。《天兄圣旨》中天母、天嫂、天妻作为天兄活动的附属品,其现身亦出于洪秀全、萧朝贵玩弄权术之现实需要,在洪秀全所建构之宗教理论体系中,天母、天嫂、天妻始终牢固占据一席之地。

Around Jintian uprising, Yang Xiu - qing and Xiao Chao - gui successively used the God and Jesus as pretexts by Jiangtong witchcraft, which related to the fact that the early leaders of Taiping Rebellion scrambled for the power. Among them Xiao Chao - gui＇ s frequency of pretending to be the Jesus＇ s incarnation appeared to three climax. The change of the frequency was closely related to the change of the inner and outer political situation of the Society of God Worshippers. They were third attempts that Xiao Chao - gui try to extend power on the pretext of Jesus. As the accesories of the Jesus＇ activities in Tian - xiong imperial edicts, the presence of the mother, the sister - in - law and the wife on heaven were also out of the Hong Xiu -quan and Xiao Chao - gui＇ s request for power. They always dominated one position in Hong Xiu -quan＇ s Religious theory system.
