Abstract

Thirteenth-century sources provide us with striking images of Mongol noblewomen, which are not eclipsed by the heroic conquests and military exploits of their men. While recognising the complexity of gender roles in pre-imperial Mongol society, this article aims to explore the specific responsivities carried by Hö’elün and Börte in the narrative of The Secret History of the Mongols. The selective presentation of their characters and duties further reveals the goal of the Secret Historian to create a ruling model, which includes a brave widowed mother and an intelligent wife for the Qan of the empire.

英雄母亲与贤妻

13世纪的资料来源为我们提供了蒙古贵族女性的惊人形象，她们的男性英雄征服和军事功绩并没有让她们黯然失色。在认识到前蒙古社会性别角色的复杂性的同时，本文旨在探讨Hö'eluên和Börtet在《蒙古秘史》叙事中所承担的具体责任。对他们的角色和职责的选择性呈现进一步揭示了这位秘密历史学家创造统治模式的目标，其中包括一位勇敢的寡居母亲和一位聪明的帝国女王妻子。

期刊介绍： The Inner Asia Studies Unit (MIASU) was founded in 1986 as a group within the Department of Social Anthropology to promote research and teaching relating to Mongolia and Inner Asia on an inter-disciplinary basis. The unit aims to promote and encourage study of this important region within and without the University of cambridge, and to provide training and support for research to all those concerned with its understanding. It is currently one of the very few research-oriented forums in the world in which scholars can address the contemporary and historical problems of the region.
