“耶律大石与萧德妃同抵夹山”考辨

Textual Research On“Yeh-lü Ta-shih And Empress Xiao Defei Arrived In Jiashan Mountain At the Same Time”

保大二年(1122年)十二月,金兵攻入燕京,北辽称制的萧德妃率耶律大石等弃燕而逃,投奔天祚帝所在的夹山大营。本文以此为背景,旨在研究耶律大石与萧德妃是否同时抵达夹山。本文的论点是:耶律大石并非与萧德妃同时抵达夹山;耶律大石之所以能为金兵带路,并非由于曾经到过夹山,而是因为契丹贵族皆熟悉沼泽地貌之缘故。

At the end of Liao Dynasty,the Emperor T'ien-tsu fled into Jiashan Mountain with few soldiers for fear of Jurchens military.When Jurchens army invaded the capital of Yanjing,YelüDashi and Empress Xiao Defei of Northern Liao Dynasty decided to go to Jiashan Mountain for refuge,where Emperor Tianzuo's imperial court was.Here is a question for historians in so many years,that whether YelüDashi and Empress Xiao Defei arrived in Jiashan Mountain together or not.The topic of this article is a research on this question and as a conclusion that they didn't arrive in Jiashan Mountain together at the same time.The reason why YelüDashi can lead the way for Jurchens army was because Khitan noble know the marshland,not because he had been to Jiashan Mountain before.
