试论隋文帝时期对高句丽政策的演变

隋与高句丽的和战关系一直是隋朝对外关系和边疆经略的重要组成部分。隋文帝建国以后,着力构建以隋朝为中心的东亚国际秩序,对高句丽采取了灵活的外交政策和策略:从起初的怀柔远人、积极防御,到后来与高句丽的初次交锋而又止,经历了从"和"到"战"再到"和"的微妙转变。经过隋文帝的努力,其封建统治可谓如日中天。但是,隋炀帝为扩大这一成果,最终对高句丽诉诸武力,因此导致隋朝衰亡。

Comments on the Changes of the Foreign Policies with regard to Koguryo during the Reign of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty

The Sui-Koguryo relationship was one significant part of the foreign policies and border strategies during the period of the Sui Dynasty. Emperor Wen came onto the throne after the founding of the Sui Dynasty. He therefore put in efforts to establish his central authority in the international order of East Asia, by adopting flexible strategies and tactics in his foreign policies over the problem of Koguryo. Originally, he adopted a policy of control through conciliation and carried out an active defensive strategy. After a battle with Koguryo was later fought, Emperor Wen finally prevented the battle from expanding, and the two parties resumed their peaceful relationships. It could be concluded that their diplomatic relationships had undergone a peace-war-peace process. Through the efforts of Emperor Wen, the feudalistic dominion of the Sui Dynasty was at the apex of its power. However, Emperor Yang, in order to enlarge the diplomatic achievements, launched the endless war with Koguryo later on, which led to the destruction of the Sui Dynasty.
