金城公主和亲吐蕃与中宗朝的皇权重构

Peace making Marriage of Princess Jincheng to Tubo and the Reconstruction of the Imperial Power during the Reign of Emperor Zhongzong of the Tang Dynasty

金城公主和亲吐蕃是唐代历史上筹备时间最长、送行仪礼规格最高、对当时政局影响最大的公主和亲,是中宗力图提升自己政治权威、重构皇权的重要活动之一。中宗虽然是当时政治权力之争中的失败者,但由他主导的金城公主和亲,在玄宗开元年间的唐蕃关系中仍然发挥了重要的作用。

The peace making marriage of Princess Jincheng to Tubo represents the longest planned,most ceremonially elaborate,and most politically consequential marriage of its kind during the Tang Dynasty.It was a critical component of Emperor Zhongzong’s efforts to bolster his political authority and realize imperial power reconstruction.Although Zhongzong was ultimately unsuccessful in the political power struggles of his time,the marriage he orchestrated for Princess Jincheng continued to exert a significant influence on Tang Tubo relations during Emperor Xuanzong’s Kaiyuan reign.
