唐与契丹和亲研究综述

The Summary of Researches on the Peace-making Marriage between Tang Dynasty and Khitan

和亲是唐朝巩固与周边少数民族关系的主要手段之一。契丹因其地理位置的特殊,在唐朝的民族政策中占有重要地位。学界对于唐与契丹的和亲研究集中于公主的身份、和亲的原因、和亲失败的原因,以及和亲的影响这四个方面。笔者认为,对于唐与契丹和亲的探讨应注重传世文献与出土文献的结合研究;同时,应开阔视野将双方的四次和亲作为一个整体,纳入唐朝整个和亲史中去衡量,以此对唐王朝的边疆民族政策有更深入的研究。

Peace-making marriage is one of the main means for the Tang Dynasty to consolidate relations with the surrounding ethnic minorities. Due to its special geographical location, Khitan has an important position in the national policy of the Tang Dynasty. The academic researches focus on the identity of the princess, the reasons for the policy, the reasons for the failure of the peace-making marriage and the influence of the policy. The discussion of this question should focus on the combination of the handed down literature and the unearthed literature. At the same time, we should broaden our horizons and take the four marriages as a whole event, and include them in the history of Tang Dynasty’s peace-making marriage. In this way, we will have a more in-depth study of the Tang dynasty's frontier national policy.
