十六国时期铁弗匈奴的民族心态——以赫连勃勃为主

Psychology of the Tiefu Huns in Time of the Five Dynasties with the Helianbobo Tribe for Example

十六国时期,于朔方地区建立大夏政权的铁弗匈奴,在逐渐南进、势力不断扩大的过程中,表现出一种极为矛盾的心理状态。一方面,民族意识及民族自豪感增强,将冒姓汉朝宗室的“刘”姓改为胡族特征非常明显的“赫连”氏,刻意强调和凸显其民族特征;另一方面,面对博大精深的汉文化又表现出一种极度自卑的心理,由此导致了一些政策上的失误。

During the Five Dynasties, the Tiefu Huns founded the regime of Daxia in the Shuofang region. However, they had a very contradictory psychology in the course of southward invasion and steady expansion of their influence. On the one hand, their national sense and pride picked up, deliberately emphasizing and projecting their national characteristics. On the other hand, however, they were in deep inferiority in face of profound Han civilization, which led to adopting a series of incorrect policies.
