也谈"李氏将兴"与"刘氏当王"

“李氏将兴”与“刘氏当王”是隋末的政治谶言,它们分别为当时两大集团——太原李唐集团与山东豆子、高鸡泊集团所利用。李唐建立后,更把“李氏”之谶加以发挥,作为自己代隋而立的符命。对于这两个谶言,前贤皆没有上溯及这些谶言的早期历史背景,本文通过对其形成过程的考察,试图揭示它们的发展脉络及其在社会中的强大生命力。

On the Two Oracles of the "Rise of Li" and the "Enthronement of Liu"

The Rise of the Li and the Enthronement of the Liu are two political oracles that were widespread during the last days of the Sui Dynasty. They did not only pave the way for the replacement of the Sui by the Tang, but was also exaggerated to a great extent by the Tang authorities to justify their coming into power. No previous studies have explored the origin of these two oracles although their function has received great academic attention. The present paper attempts to prove into the very beginning of the two oracles and show their power in the minds of the ancient Chinese people.
