七国之乱、八王之乱、安史之乱之比较

七国、八王、安史三乱皆因地方势力过于膨胀，中央对其失控所致；地方官品行之优劣，对叛乱发生与否关系甚为重要。叛乱之结果及其影响，则与中央集权统治巩固与否有直接关系。或是迅速平定叛乱，中央集权因之而强固；或是延误平叛，导致割据；或是叛乱经久难平，直接影响王朝之命运。另外，叛乱如有少数民族成分参与，将增加其复杂性；而少数民族成分之参与与否又与统治集团民族政策直接关联。

Comparison of the Three Rebellions of the Seven Kingdoms, the Eight Kings and An Lushan and Shi Siming

The three rebellions of the seven kingdoms,the eight kings and An Lushan and Shi Siming were result of the expansion of local forces and the loss of control by the central government. The good and bad of the conduct of the local officials were very important to the occurence of the rebellions. And the results and effects of the rebellions were directly connected with the consolidation of the centralization of authority. The quick suppression of the rebellions would consolidate the centralization of authority. The delay of the suppression would lead to a separatist regime. The prolonged suppression would directly affect the fate of the dynasty. Moreover, any participation of the ethnic groups in the rebellions would make it more complicated. And the participation of the ethnic groups was directly connected with the policy of the ruling classes toward nationalities.
