百官志一
Official Posts Treatise I

官生於職，職沿於事，而名加之。 後世沿名，不究其實。 吏部，一太宰也，為大司徒，為尚書，為中書，為門下； 兵部，一司馬也，為大司馬，為太尉，為樞密使。 沿古官名，分今之職事以配之，於是先王統理天下之法，如治絲而棼，名實淆矣。 契丹舊俗，事簡職專，官制樸實，不以名亂之，其興也勃焉。 太祖神冊六年，詔正班爵。 至於太宗，兼制中國，官分南北，以國制治契丹，以漢制待漢人。 國制簡樸，漢制則沿名之風固存也。 遼國官職，分北、南院，北面治宮帳、部族、屬國之政，南面治漢人州縣、租賦、軍馬之事。 因俗而治，得其宜矣。
Offices grow out of duties, duties from tasks, and names are layered on top. Later generations kept the titles without asking what they actually did. Personnel had been Grand Steward, then Grand Minister of Education, Secretariat Director, and Gate Chancellery; War had been Minister of War, then Grand Minister of War, Grand Marshal, and Privy Commissioner. Later regimes kept ancient titles and mapped current duties onto them, so the old way of governing the realm became like untangling snarled silk—name and reality mixed together. In Khitan custom affairs were few and posts focused; government was plain and did not trade on empty titles, and their rise was swift. In Taizu Shence year 6 ranks at court were fixed by edict. Under Taizong the state also ruled Chinese territory; offices split into Northern and Southern branches—Khitan governed by Liao law, Han by Han law. The native system stayed spare; within the Chinese system the habit of nominal inheritance persisted. Liao offices split into Northern and Southern Courts—the north handled palace accounts, tribes, and subject peoples; the south handled Han districts, revenue, and cavalry. Each branch ruled in its own way, which suited the realm.

初，太祖分叠剌夷離堇為北、南二大王，謂之北、南院。 宰相、樞密、宣徽、林牙，下至郎君、護衛，皆分北、南，其實所治皆北面之事，語遼官制者，可不辨。 凡遼朝官，北樞密視兵部，南樞密視吏部，北、南二王視戶部，夷離畢視刑部，宣徽視工部，敵烈麻都視禮部，北、南府宰相總之。 惕隱治宗族，林牙修文告，於越坐而論議，以象公師，朝廷之上。 事簡職專，此遼所以興也。
Taizu first split the Dieci yilijin into Northern and Southern Great Kings—the Northern and Southern Courts. Chancellor, Privy Council, xuanhui, linya, langjun, and guards all had north and south posts, but in practice they handled northern affairs; commentators on Liao offices should not be misled by the labels. Broadly, Northern Privy Council stood for War, Southern Privy for Personnel, the two Great Kings for Revenue, yilibi for Justice, xuanhui for Works, dilie mada for Rites, with Northern and Southern Chancellors above them. Tithen oversaw the imperial clan, linya drafted state papers, and yuyue deliberated from his seat as a notional chief mentor at court. Simple tasks and focused posts were how Liao prospered.

大於越府。 無職掌，班百僚之上，非有大功德者不授，遼國尊官，猶南面之有三公。 太祖以遙輦氏於越受禪。 終遼之世，以於越得重名者三人：耶律曷魯、屋質、仁先，謂之三於越。
Great Yuyue Office Without portfolio, it ranked above all officials and was granted only for exceptional merit—Liao's highest honor, comparable to the Three Dukes in the Chinese system. Taizu took the throne when the Yaolian yuyue yielded power. Only three men in Liao history bore the yuyue title with real weight—Yelü Helu, Wuzhi, and Renxian—the Three Yuyue.
36
大於越
Great yuyue
37
大惕隱司。 太祖置，掌皇族之政教。 興宗重熙二十一年，耶律義先拜惕隱，戒族人曰：「國家三父房最為貴族，凡天下風化之所自出，不孝不義，雖小不可為。」 其妻晉國長公主之女，每見中表，必具禮服。 義先以身率先，國族化之。 遼國設官之實，於此可見。 太祖有國，首設此官，其後百官擇人，必先宗姓。
Great tithen office. Taizu founded it to oversee clan discipline and education. In Xingzong Chongxi year 21 Yelü Yixian became tithen and warned the clan: "The Three Fathers' lines are the highest nobility and the source of public morals—no unfilial or unjust act, however slight, is permissible. His wife was the Jin State Senior Princess's daughter; she always wore full court dress when receiving kin. Yixian led by example and the imperial kin followed. Here one sees what Liao offices were really for. Taizu created this post at the founding; later, when filling the bureaucracy, clan members were chosen first.

三皇，聖人也，當淳樸之世，重門擊柝，猶嚴於待暴客。 遼之先世，未有城郭、溝池、宮室之固，氈車為營，硬寨為宮，禦帳之官不得不謹。 出於貴戚為侍衛，著帳為近侍，北南部族為護衛，武臣為宿衛，親軍為禁衛，百官番宿為宿直。 奉宸以司供禦，三班以肅會朝，硬寨以嚴晨夜。 法制可謂嚴密矣。 考其凡如左。
The Three Sovereigns were sages; even in the plainest age, night watches at the gates were stricter than indulging intruders. Before cities and palaces, Liao ancestors camped in carts and fortified felt enclosures—so account-guard posts had to be rigorous. Kin of rank became attendants, account registrants close attendants, north and south tribes guards, warriors night guards, household troops forbidden guards, and civil officials rotated as night watch. Fengchen supplied the ruler, the Three Shifts kept assembly order, and hard stockades secured day and night. The system was remarkably strict. Their organization, in summary, was as follows.

64
古者刑人不在君側。 叛逆家屬沒為著帳，執事禁衛，可為寒心。 此遼世所以多變起肘掖歟！
Ancient custom kept convicts away from the ruler. Families of rebels were enrolled as account servants and put in guard duty—a chilling precedent. Perhaps this explains why Liao suffered so many coups from within.
65
著帳郎君院。 遙輦痕德堇可汗以蒲古只等三族害於越室魯，家屬沒入瓦裏。 應天皇太后知國政，析出之，以為著帳郎君、娘子，每加矜恤。 世宗悉免之。 其後內族、外戚及世官之家犯罪者，皆沒入瓦裏。 人戶益眾，因復故名。 皇太后、皇太妃帳，皆有著帳諸局。
Account-Registered Langjun Court Under Yaolian Khan Hendejian, Pugu Zhi and two other lines that had harmed yuyue Shilu were enrolled in wali. Empress Dowager Yingtian ruled and released them as account langjun and ladies, showing them special favor. Shizong pardoned them entirely. Later, crimes by imperial kin, affinal kin, or hereditary officials again brought enrollment in wali. As households multiplied, the old institution was revived. The empress dowager, senior consort, and empress each had account-registered bureaus.

Suzu's eldest Zhi Yan's line sat in the Five Courts Office; uncle Ge La, younger brother Zhi Li, and Yi's second son Tie La and younger brother Gu Zhi in the Six Courts Office. These five lines formed the Two Courts imperial clan. Xuanzu's elder brother Malu left no heirs; second son Yan Mu's line is the Senior Father's House; Uncle Shi Lu formed the Middle Father's House; The junior line became Dez Zu; his eldest son was Taizu the Heavenly Emperor—the Horizontal Account; Next came Cige, Dieci, Yindi Shi, Anduan, and Su—the Junior Fathers' House.

遼太祖有帝王之度者三：代遙輦氏，尊九帳於御營之上，一也； 滅渤海國，存其族帳，亞於遙輦，二也； 並奚王之眾，撫其帳部，擬於國族，三也。 有英雄之智者三：任國舅以耦皇族，崇乙室以抗奚王，列二院以制遙輦是已。 觀北面諸帳官，可以見之矣。 遙輦九帳大常袞司。 掌遙輦窪可汗、阻午可汗、胡剌可汗、蘇可汗、鮮質可汗、昭古可汗、耶瀾可汗、巴剌可汗、痕德堇可汗九世宮分之事。 太祖受位於遙輦，以九帳居皇族一帳之上，設常袞司以奉之，有司不與焉。 凡遼十二宮、五京，皆太祖以來征討所得，非受之於遙輦也。 其待先世之厚，蔑以加矣。 遼俗東向而尚左，禦帳東向，遙輦九帳南向，皇族三父帳北向。 東西為經，南北為緯，故謂御營為橫帳雲。
Taizu showed imperial stature in three ways: replacing the Yaolian while honoring the nine accounts above his own camp—first; He destroyed Bohai but kept its clan registers subordinate to the Yaolian—second; He absorbed the Xi king's followers and settled their tribes on a par with the imperial clan—third. Three marks of strategic genius: pairing maternal uncles with the imperial line, raising Yishi to counter the Xi king, and dividing Two Courts to restrain the Yaolian. The Northern account offices show this plainly. Yaolian Nine Accounts Great changgun office. It tended the palace estates of nine Yaolian khans from Waqihan through Hendejian. Taizu took power from the Yaolian, set the nine accounts above the imperial clan account, and gave them a Changgun Office apart from regular government. Liao's twelve palaces and five capitals all came from Taizu's conquests, not from the Yaolian inheritance. No dynasty treated its predecessors more generously. Liao faced east and prized the left; the imperial camp faced east, the nine Yaolian accounts south, and the Three Fathers' clan accounts north. East-west was the warp and north-south the weft, so the imperial camp was called the Horizontal Account.
