大清国号述论

16 16年 ,努尔哈赤建立国号“金”;16 36年 ,皇太极易国号为“大清”。“金”国号作为女真政治与民族共同体的鲜明标帜 ,在努尔哈赤创业的过程中 ,发挥了重要的作用 ;然而皇太极时期 ,“金”国号已不足以范围其未来的发展 ,更不利于安抚其已统辖的汉、蒙民族。皇太极新定的国号“大清”,不仅合乎“大元”、“大明”取号的传统 ,气势、取义更胜过“大明”。“大清”国号既顺应了汉人一般的思想观念 ,又能为女真或满洲民族所认同 ,归服皇太极的蒙古各部 ,也必赞成皇太极易“金”为“大清”。如此 ,由“金”而“大清”,绝非简单的名号改易

Commentary about the Dymastic Title of Qing

In 1636, Nu-er-ha -chi founded the “Jin”; In 1636, Huang Taiji Changed the “Jin” into “the Qing Dynasty”. As the distinct symbol of the politics and nation community of Nü-zhen, the title of “Jin” played an important role in the course of starting an undertaking by Nu-er-ha-chi; However, during the time of Huang Taiji,the titte of “Jin” was neither able to contain its future development, nor able to comfort well the mation of Han and Meng which was already under its command. the “Qing” named by Huang Taiji conformed with the tradition of the Yuan and the Ming being named. In addition, its momentum and meaning was much better than the “Ming”, the title of “Qing” either complied with common concept of the Hans, or was approved by the Nü-zhens and the Mans. The Mengs governed by Huang Jaiji also approved that Huang Jaiji Changed“jin” into “Qing”. Therefor,it was not only the changing of title from “Jin” to “Qing”.
