Historically, there have been certain “unsolved cases” objectively, and the transmission of imperial power in the early Song Dynasty is one of them. The succession of Emperor Taizong of Song has been accompanied by numerous speculations and mysteries since ancient times, among which “the sound of an axe and the shadow of a candle”, “The Golden Cabinet Alliance”, and “the mystery of the birth mother of Tingmei” have always been research hotspots in the field of historical studies. On this series of issues, scholars have undergone continuous textual research and analysis on the truth of these “unsolved cases” over several generations, gradually forming several major academic viewpoints, such as the independent transmission theory and the three-transmission theory of “the alliance in the golden coffer”. This has gradually restored the complex political situation in the early Song Dynasty and promoted the understanding and recognition of the political culture in the early Song Dynasty. Based on the research on the issue of establishing the heir in the early Song Dynasty, which was deeply influenced by the Five Dynasties, new insights have been gained into the changes in the inheritance system during the Tang and Song dynasties, and a theory comprehensively elaborating on the inheritance system has been constructed. From an institutional perspective, this summarizes the objective patterns of change that existed during the Tang, Five Dynasties, and early Song dynasties, interprets the complex political “unsolved cases” and political culture in the early Song Dynasty, and forms a re-examination and new understanding of the issue of imperial power transfer in the early Song Dynasty.

历史上客观地存在着某些“悬案”，宋初的皇权传递就是其中之一。宋太宗的继位自古 以来就伴随着诸多猜测与谜团，其中“斧声烛影”“金匮之盟”以及“廷美生母之谜”一直都是 史学界的研究热点。在这一系列的问题上，相关学人学者历经数代百年，对“悬案”之真相 的不断考证分析，深入研究，逐渐形成了几个主要的学术观点，如“金匮之盟”的独传约， 三传约之说，也逐渐还原了宋初的复杂政治局面，促进了对宋初的政治文化的理解认识。 基于深受五代影响的宋初立储问题进行研究，对唐宋之际继承制度变化产生新认识，构建 全面阐述继承制度的理论，从制度视角上总结唐五代宋初存在的客观变化规律，解读宋初 复杂的政治“悬案”与政治文化，形成对宋初皇权授受问题的再探讨与新认识。
