汉代皇权主义意识形态初论

A Preliminary Discussion on the Ideology of Imperial Power in the Han Dynasty

任何时代的思想都是统治阶级的思想,而统治阶级的思想集中表现为国家意识形态。对于某一时期国家意识形态的研究,是认识该时期政治思想和社会文化思想的一把钥匙。汉代在秦统一后第一个建立了稳定的帝制王朝统治,也相应地确立起以皇权主义为核心的国家意识形态,其基本的思想要素是皇权神授、皇帝独尊、礼制秩序、民惟邦本、以农立国,这五者构成一个有内在逻辑联系的思想体系,并通过全社会性的灌输落实,在思想和观念的层面构筑起一道巩固帝制社会秩序的铜墙铁壁。

The ideology of every era always belongs to the ruling class,and the ideology of the ruling class is concentrated in the form of national ideology.The study of national ideology during a certain period is a key to understand the political and socio-cultural thoughts of that time.After the unification of Qin.the Han Dynasty set up a stable imperial dynasty at first,and correspondingly established a national ideology which centered on monarchy.The basic ideological elements of i were the divine empowerment of the emperor,the sole respect of the emperor.rule of rites order,the people being the foundation of the state,and establishing the country based on agriculture.These five elements constituted an internal logical system of thought,and through the indoctrination and implementation of the whole society,an impregnable fortress of ideology and conccpts was constructed.Its purpose is to consolidate the order of imperial society.
