鸭子河泊考

A Study of Yazihe Lake

四时捺钵是辽代重要的政治制度,其中春捺钵在辽代中后期主要处理辽境东北地区的边务问题,这在女真部落逐渐强大的形势下尤为重要。《辽史·营卫志》载,“春捺钵:曰鸭子河泺。皇帝正月上旬起牙帐,约六十日方至。天鹅未至,卓帐冰上,凿冰取鱼。冰泮,乃纵鹰鹘捕鹅雁。晨出暮归,从事弋猎。鸭子河泺东西二十里,南北三十里,在长春州东北三十五里,四面皆沙埚,多榆柳杏林。”[1]《燕北录》载,“

The argument about the location of Yazihe Lake in Liao dynasty mainly focuses on two hypotheses, including Maoxing Lake and Huanghuashao Lake. Through the analyses of sensing landscape and hydrography, we have proved that the Yazihe Lake should be located at the Liuhe-Chagan ancient lake basin. Based on this, we discussed the "Spring Painting",one of the four seasons landscape murals found in Qingdong tomb(belongs to Emperor Shengzong of Liao dynasty). Besides, the two locations, including the Hejiaxinzi site and Asilengzhao site near the ancient lake should be the Shaoyangchuan Palace. According to the deduction as above, we consider that the site of Chengsijiazi ancient city should be the Changchunzhou city of Liao dynasty and the new Taizhou city of Jin dynasty.
