辽朝,是十世纪初由契丹首领耶律阿保机在我国北方所建立的地方政权,辖东自大海,西至流沙,南越长城,北绝大漠的地域,先后与五代和北宋并立。契丹族是古代北方鲜卑族的后裔,几个世纪以来,他们一直过着逐水草而居的游牧生活。随着政权的建立,契丹人也由畜牧、渔猎生产为主转向了以农业、畜牧生产为主,由游牧生活转向定居生活。同时,各种手工业也不断地兴起和发展,促进了辽王朝社会经济水平的提高。 Liao Dynasty, is a local regime set up in the north of our country by Khitan leader Yelv Bajk in the early tenth century, with jurisdiction over the sea from east to west, quicksand from the west, the Great Wall of South Vietnam, and the vast desert north of the country. The Khitan family is a descendant of Xianbei people in ancient northern China. For centuries, they have lived a nomadic life by water. With the establishment of the regime, the Khitan people also shifted their focus from livestock husbandry and fishing and hunting to agriculture and livestock production, and from nomadic life to settled life. At the same time, all kinds of handicrafts industry also continued to rise and develop, and promoted the improvement of the social and economic level of the Liao Dynasty.
