萧意辛是辽代晚期契丹民族中颇为典型的人物。《辽史》虽然有《传》,但仅仅四百字左右,故仍然事迹不明,面貌不清。这是治辽史者长期以来没有问津她的原因之一。 其实,她的经历和主张,并非一般,在研究北方民族关系史、契丹民族文化史和伦理道德史时,完全可以作为一个方面的代表。 Xiao Yi Xin is quite typical of the Qidan ethnic group in the late Liao Dynasty. Although “Liao history” has “Biography”, but only about four hundred words, so still unknown deeds, the face is not clear. This is one of the reasons why the history of the Liao Dynasty insisted on her for a long time. In fact, her experiences and opinions are not ordinary. She can fully represent one aspect of the history of ethnic relations in the north, the history of the Khitan national culture and the history of ethics and morals.
