额什丁家族史论

The Historical Talk about the Errshiddin Khwaja Families

考察14世纪以后的苏非派,不应忽视额什丁家族的重要作用.这一家族并不是中亚显赫的家族,但在特定时期登上了历史的舞台,并且其家族首领扮演了较为特别的角色.同时,他们和上层统治者有着千丝万缕的联系.这似乎是一种历史的偶然性或者是巧合,但仔细探究当时的历史背景,不难看出宗教和政治自身需要的内在互动以及或明或暗的结合,完成了家族的双重"使命",也为一个王朝的灭亡埋下了伏笔.

The paper mainly talks about Errshiddin Khwaja Families of Sufi in Xinjiang. If we study the Sufism after the 14th century, we shouldn't neglect the important role the Errshiddin Khwaja Families played. Ancestors of these families weren't conspicuous in Central Asia, However, Errshiddin Khwaja Families stepped onto the historic stage in the special period, and made their leaders play particular roles. At the same time, they kept various relations with upper rulers. It seems to be a historical accident or coincidence, but we easily find that both religion and politics themselves need inner exchange and association, either obvious or secret, by carefully observing historical background at that time so that the Families completed double'missions' as well as causing Eastern Chaghatainis to fall down.
