耶律阿保机利用宗教构建与巩固皇权考略

Study on How Yelv Abaoji Taking Advantage of Religion for Construction and Enhancement of Imperial Power

契丹人的宗教信仰,伴随着契丹社会的发展而演变。耶律阿保机利用契丹人的宗教信仰神化自己,搞个人崇拜,树立个人权威,获取君权地位。耶律阿保机在平定诸弟之乱,征伐吐浑、党项、阻卜等部的战争时,均利用契丹人的宗教信仰笼络人心、鼓舞斗志。随着佛教、道教的传入,契丹人的宗教文化与外来宗教文化相互融合,耶律阿保机为了适应统治需要,采取“多教制衡”的策略,以达到巩固皇权的目的。

The religious beliefs of the Khitans evolve with the development of their society.In order to establish his personal authority and gain his sovereignty status,Yelv Abaoji took advantage of the beliefs of the Khitans to deify himself and to cultivate personality cult.He did so when he was quelling the chaos caused by wars and when he was conquering other tribes,which helped him win people’s support and inspired their fighting spirits.With the introduction of Buddhism and Taoism,the religious culture of the Khitan people and the foreign religious culture were integrated.In order to adapt to the needs of his sovereignty,Yelv Abaoji has adopted the strategy of“multi-teaching counterbalance”to achieve the goal of consolidating the imperial power.
