辽朝尚父于越耶律祺传记刊补

A Supplement of Biography to Shangfu Yu-yue Yelü Qi of the Liao Dynasty

The unique political system and marriage customs of the Liao Dynasty, gave rise to the phenomenon of hereditary authority among Khitan noble families. Therefore, a comparative study of Khitan-Chinese Historical Materials or epitaphs in Khitan large and small scripts of the Liao Dynasty, can provide valuable evidence for sorting out the genealogy of imperial clans and extended families, verifying the life stories of relevant figures, and supplementing historical records. Based on the primary reference of epitaph of Yelü Qi in Khitan large script and epitaph of Yelü Wumo in Khitan small script, and after further sorting out relevant records in the History of Liao Dynasty, this paper re-examines the family lineage, life stories, and information about wives and descendants of Yelü Qi, who were important officials during the reigns of Emperor Daozong and Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Dynasty.

辽朝特殊的政治制度和婚姻习俗，造就了契丹世家权威代代相袭的现象。正因如此，辽代契汉文史料以及契丹大、小墓志铭比较研究，对宗室外戚家族世系的整理、相关人物生平事迹的考据以及史料记载的刊补均可提供有利证据。文中以耶律祺契丹大字墓志铭和耶律兀没契丹小字墓志铭为主要参考，在进一步梳理《辽史》有关记载的基础上，对辽道宗、天祚二帝时期重臣耶律祺家族世系、生平事迹及其妻室子嗣相关信息进行了重新考述。
