摘要
信件作为一种较特殊的文献资料,具有重要的学术价值。萨尔贡二世时期的信件文书与亚述帝国其他国王统治时期的信件有显著不同,其信件文书中含有更多的政治事件而非对宗教、文学方面的记载。这些信件是探究萨尔贡二世乃至新亚述时期帝国政治活动的重要资料。信件文书的书写格式,不仅是行政文献中对格式的统一要求,更是帝国宗法礼仪的延伸,是君臣制度的体现。信件文书的具体内容,打破了王室铭文中对国王功绩的盲目宣扬,表明国家的正常运转与其官员的参与密不可分。信件文书的传送方式,反映了帝国疆域的扩展以及交通体系的完善,为国家政治活动的高效运转提供了坚实的基础。
Letters are of great scholarly value as a special kind of documentation.The letters of the SargonⅡwere significantly different from those of other periods in the Assyrian Empire.They contained more political events than religious and literary records,and were an important source for exploring the specific administrative activities of SargonⅡand the Neo-Assyrian Empire.The format of the letters reflected the uniformity of the administrative documents,the patriarchal rituals of the empire and the monarch-minister structure.The rich contents of the letters revealed the pretentious self-display in the royal inscriptions and showed that the normal functioning of the state was inseparable from the participation of its officials.The methods of letter delivery reflected the expansion of the empire and the perfection of its transportation,which provided a solid foundation for efficient state administration.
