Abstract:During their long reigns, Emperor Wu of the Western Han and Augustus of Rome respectively performed two spectacular ceremonies, the feng and shan sacrifices and the ludi saeculares. The performance of these ceremonies took place during a larger process of reforms to each state's religious institutions and marked the culmination of these reforms. While there is no direct connection between the two rulers or their respective ceremonies, some of the salient characteristics can be compared. In both cases, the rulers claimed to revive ancient ceremonies, but incorporated new narratives of ruler-ship into their performance. These spectacular ceremonies, performed in front of audiences, demonstrated the exalted position of the ruler, as well as the acceptance of the elites to the new order.

汉朝和罗马帝国初期的壮观权力

摘要：西汉武帝和罗马的奥古斯都在其漫长的在位期间，分别举行了风山祭和鲁地祭祀两大盛会。这些仪式的举行是在对每个州的宗教机构进行更大范围的改革过程中进行的，并标志着这些改革的高潮。虽然两位统治者或他们各自的仪式之间没有直接联系，但可以比较一些显着特征。在这两种情况下，统治者都声称要复兴古老的仪式，但在他们的表演中加入了新的统治权叙事。这些在观众面前表演的壮观仪式，展示了统治者的崇高地位，以及精英们对新秩序的接受。
