隋唐之际皇帝受称“可汗”称号新探

Further Study for the Chinese Emperor Titled Qaghan during the Sui-Tang Dynasty

贞观四年,唐太宗李世民被西北诸蕃共同拥戴为“天可汗”,结合北方游牧民族的萨满教信仰与突厥语去考证“天可汗”含义,可以发现它是当时北方游牧民族对君主的无上称谓。实际上,在隋代与唐代前期的历史进程中,受称“可汗”称号的皇帝不止唐太宗,从隋代开始中原皇帝已经开始接受北方民族的“可汗”称谓,反映了隋唐之际农耕、游牧两个政治系统及所辖民众的高度融合,也反映了隋唐皇帝对皇权的拓展,在秦汉的基础上更为广泛地覆盖已知世界。可是若从整体北方民族的视角进行考虑,隋唐皇帝获得的可汗称号便会逊色一些。

In the year of 630,The emperor Tang Taizong was acclaimed as the"Τengri Qaghan"by the nomadic people from the northwest China.When combined with the shamanistic belief of northern nomads to research on the meaning of"Τengri Qaghan"in Turkic language,it can be found that it was the supreme title of the northern nomads to the monarch at that time.In fact,during the Sui and early Tang dynasty,several emperors were titled Qaghan.Since the period of Sui dynasty,the Chinese emperors had begun to accept the title of"Qaghan"from the northern peoples,it reflects the high integration of farming and nomadic political systems during the Sui and Tang dynasties,and it also reflects the expansion of imperial power by the Sui and Tang emperors,covering the known world more widely on the basis of the time of Qin and Han dynasties.But if looked at it from the perspective of entire northern nomadic peoples,the title of Qaghan they gained was somehow weakened.
