Speaking of the Liao State, the first impression given to everyone is that this is the feudal dynasty in which ethnic minorities entered the Central Plains, but do you know the ethnic minorities before the Liao or even after the Final Liao. If you want to enter the Central Plains, you will choose to establish an empire in the Central Plains, such as the Yuan Dynasty that rose up after the Mongols, in 1206 Temujin once established the Mongol Khanate, although the size of the country has been initially formed, but at that time the ruler was called the Great Khan. It was not until Genghis Khan's grandson Kublai Khan established the Yuan Empire in 1271, when he declared himself emperor, that is, the throne, and controlled most of China. But even if the territory of the Yuan Dynasty is no matter how vast and great, he still has not broken the legend of the five-hundred-year fortune of Hu Captivity, and the Liao State, as a dynasty established by the Khitans, enjoyed 210 years of the country from the founding of taizu to the last emperor.
?? The Liao Dynasty established by the Khitans has made great contributions to today's China, and one of the greatest political systems still in use today is the political policy of one country, two systems. In fact, this system was used as early as more than a thousand years in the Liao Dynasty, and it was used very well, from the first emperor of the Liao Dynasty to the last emperor, a total of nine emperors in 210 years, the political situation can be regarded as very stable. The five dynasties in the same period were not good, and there were fourteen emperors in 53 years and 5 dynasties, which was the real chaotic world. And this strategic principle of one country, two systems was not conceived by Yelü Abaoji, but came from Youzhou later, a famous strategist named Han Yanhui, speaking of this person, it can be said that it is very famous. People who understand the history of Liao may have had two surnames until the entire Khitan nation at that time, one was the Yelü royal family and the other was the Xiaohou clan. If you find that other surnames are not Khitans, people like this surname Han will know at a glance that they are Han Chinese.
?? In the history of the Khitan people, there were two people surnamed Han who contributed to the promotion of the Liao Dynasty, one was Han Yanhui, and the other was Han Zhigu, and this Han Zhigu had a descendant named Han Derang, and everyone must know that there were rumors that he had a different relationship with Empress Xiao at that time, and was once sought after by Emperor Shengzong of Liao at that time, and Empress Xiao told him to respect him as a father. This descendant can be said to have enjoyed the glory and wealth of the Liao generation throughout their lives.
?? Of course, because the times are constantly evolving, after the weakening rule of the middle and late Liao Dynasty, it gradually turned from prosperity to decline, and after the capital of the Liao State was destroyed by Jin, many cultural relics and culture disappeared with the chaos of war. The most unfortunate thing is that although the Khitan people also created their own script at that time, because the Khitan prohibition was so strict, the Song Dynasty at that time intercepted the Khitan script and could not understand it. It is even more difficult for our future generations of historians to crack the Khitan script, and it is also necessary to rely on the Chinese language on the other side to help crack the Khitan script, but this is a difficult task, so let the historians of later generations do it!
The main policy of one country, two systems, the establishment of the southern and northern official systems, the Khitan people to be the Khitan people's own officials, for example, nomadic sheep herding is the norm, continue to do such things. The Han people also have their own officials, and the beggars are all in accordance with the Central Plains system, and in order to prevent the Han people from fleeing, they specially get a group of people from the local areas to go to a city, and the names are also named after their hometowns, so that the han people's escape is well avoided.
The final Liao generation, compared with the Western Xia, Jin and other empires, in the eyes of the editor, is still better than them on the whole!
