On the Liao Dynasty's Inheritance of the"Chinese"System
The Liao Dynasty established by the Khitan nationality adhered to the historical and cultural traditions of its own ethnic group,and extensively absorbed and accepted the cultures of the surrounding ethnic groups,thus forming a diversified and integrated social and cultural outlook.This phenomenon of extensively absorbing and accepting the cultures of neighboring ethnic groups is embodied in the practice of following the"Chinese"system.The Liao Dynasty's inheritance of the"Chinese"system is embodied in many aspects such as the political system,the ritual system,the law,the cultural and educational system,etc.,which plays an important role in maintaining the rule of the Liao Dynasty,and is objectively con-ducive to the exchanges,exchanges and blending between various ethnic groups.
