论北方民族中的狗国

Study of Dog Race in Northern Nation

自从先秦以来,传世文献中一直有狗国的记载,文献记载中充斥着一些不可置信的描述,对于这个国度是否真实存在也一直存在争论。抛去传说的成分,狗国其实是一群与狗关系密切的人群,在不同历史时期,狗国所指的人群并非同一部族。先秦、两汉时期西北的炎黄集团后裔,唐代贝加尔一带的骨利干,辽代以后黑龙江下游滨海地区的使犬部落都曾被称为狗国。

There has been a record of"Dog Race"(Dog Nation)in the literatures and historical records since the pre-Qin era.These records are full of legends,so it is controversy about whether dog country exists.The reality of this"dog nation"is actually a group of people closely related to dogs.In different historical periods,the people of the dog country are not the same group.Emperors in pre-Qin period and Han Dynasty,the dog nation is a Northwest ethnic group who was so called one of descendants of Yan emperor and Yellow;emperor the Our?qan of Baikal area in Tang Dynasty;and the Dog-using tribes of coastal area of the lower reaches of Heilongjiang after the khitan-Liao.
