辽代族际婚试探

An Exploration of Intermarriage in the Liao Dynasty

在各民族相互交往的过程中,辽王朝统治区域内游牧民族与农耕民族之间、不同游牧民族之间以及不同农耕民族之间,族际通婚广泛存在。同时,辽朝统治集团还以和亲的形式与周边政权通婚。辽王朝对全国范围内的族际通婚,始终未曾严格禁止。族际通婚引起婚姻习俗的变迁,主要表现是游牧民族与农耕民族习俗的相互影响和相互转变。辽代文化的多样性和兼容性,中华一体观念和认同意识的产生,均与广泛存在的族际通婚不无关系。

In the process of interaction among various nationalities,intermarriage was widely practiced between nomadic and farming nationalities,among different nomadic peoples,and among different agrarian peoples in the ruling region of Liao Dynasty.At the same time,the ruling group of the Liao Dynasty also intermarried with neighboring regimes in the form of political marriage.The Liao Dynasty never strictly prohibited the intermarriage throughout the country.The changes in marriage customs caused by intermarriage were mainly manifested by the mutual influence and transformation of the customs of nomadic and farming peoples.The cultural diversity and compatibility of the Liao Dynasty,the concept of Unified China and the consciousness of identity are all related to the phenomenon of extensive intermarriage.
