满汉文《和硕怡贤亲王行状》考释

A textual Research and Interpretation of A Brief Biography of Heshuo Yixian Prince in Manchu Scrips and Chinese

《和硕怡贤亲王行状》为雍正年间张廷玉奉敕草拟,并由世宗钦定后翻译成满文。它详细记载了怡亲王允祥(原名胤祥)的生平事迹及主要功绩,表达了雍正皇帝对其弟仙逝的悲恸与追悼。流传至今的《和硕怡贤亲王行状》皆为雍正年间内府刻本。结合其他史料比对,《和硕怡贤亲王行状》内容基本属实,但有夸大其功绩德行之处。通过将《和硕怡贤亲王行状》与允祥相关的祭文、传记进行比较,有助于加深理解清代丧仪的变化,并可进一步窥得清代社会满汉文化的相互影响。
