耶律楚材强调正统王朝在政治上的大一统,但不同的是,他超越了狭隘的华夷之分的种族观念,认为少数民族入主中原,只要实行中原传统的典章制度,一样可以成为正统王朝,这种思想的形成与耶律楚材生活的社会背景、家庭背景及个人经历是分不开的。 Yer Chu pointed out that the orthodox dynasty in the political unity, but the difference is that he goes beyond the narrow ethnic conception of Hua Yi, that ethnic minorities into the Central Plains, as long as the implementation of the Central Plains tradition of the system of rules, the same can become orthodox Dynasty, the formation of this kind of thought is inseparable from the social background, family background and personal experience of Yelv Chu's life.
