唐代粟特康氏的祖先记忆与族群认同——以出土墓志为中心

A Study on the Ancestral Memory and Ethnic Identity of the Sogdian Surnamed Kang in the Tang Dynasty Based on the Epitaph

在中古时期,有相当数量的粟特人进入了华夏地区。若干世代之后,这些人及其后裔变成了具有族群意味的"汉人"的一部分。显然,其族群认同发生了变迁。一般认为,共同的祖源记忆是族群认同的重要内容。易言之,共同的祖源记忆凝聚一个族群,而个人或人群经常通过改变原有的祖源记忆,来加入、接纳或脱离一个族群,从而造成族群认同的变迁。

By analyzing the description of ancestral memories in the epitaph,it can be seen that the Sogdian Surnamed Kang’s memory of the Sogdian ancestors declined day by day and eventually disappeared.Then they began the process of constructing the origin of Huaxia from the initial diversification to unanimous confirmation as the descendants of Wei Kangshu(卫康叔).At the same time,the Sogdian surnamed Kang also began the process of constructing the Huaxia origin.It was a process from diversity to orderliness,and eventually formed four original home:Kuaiji(会稽),Jijun(汲郡),Dunhuang(敦煌)and Yingchuan(颍川).In a word,by reconstructing the memory of ancestors,the ethnic identity of the Sogdian surnamed Kang had changed from Sogdian to Han(or Huaxia).
