赫梯节日空间及其国家治理策略

Hittite Festival Spaces and Hittites Strategies of National Governance

赫梯在一定空间范围内周期性举办节日庆典。赫梯国家性节日中的各类庆祝仪式,在都城和其他城市、地区辗转举办。城市与城内的神庙、宫殿等场所构成节日举办的现实空间。在节日活动中还出现想象空间,与现实空间相互交织,二者通过“巡幸京畿”和“四方来贺”的形式得以呈现。赫梯统治者借此扩大了节日活动的空间内涵,延展了国家宗教文化管理的空间范围,实现了掌控和威慑核心区,笼络腹地外围区、附属国以及封侯国的治理策略。

The Hittites periodically held state festivals in specific spaces,with various ceremonies taking place in their capital and other cities and regions.While the city,its temples,palaces and other places constituted the real space of Hittite festivals,festival activities also involved an imaginary space,interwoven with this real space.Both were presented in the form"rulers visit the capital city and its environs"and"subjects come to participate".Through this combination of real and imaginary spaces,Hittite rulers expanded the scope of their festival space and of national religious and cultural management,realized strategies for controlling and intimidating the kingdom's core territory,and winning over its peripheral territories,vassal states and viceregal kingdoms.
