魏收民族史观初探

Primary Research on Wei Shou's Viewpoint of National History

魏收的民族史观主要是民族同源论,认为各民族同源于黄帝,都有继承大统的权利,但是只有文化先进的民族更具有继承大统的资格,少数民族在接受汉文后也具有同等资格。此论主要是为少数民族取得中原统治权寻找理论依据。他的民族史观不仅来源于他对儒家传统文化的继承,也来源于魏晋南北朝民族关系的事实,同时还与他个人的成长经历也密切相关。

Wei Shou＇s viewpoint of national history is mainly the national homology theory. He thinks that every nation has its root in the Yellow Emperor and the fight to receive the throne by inheritance,but that the one possessing the advanced culture has more qualifications, and that the ethnic minorities also have the same qualifications after accepting the Chinese culture. The main purpose of this viewpoint is to find the theoretical basis for the ethnic minorities＇ s obtaining of the right to dominate the Central Plains. His viewpoint of national history originates not only from the inheritance of the Confucian culture, but also from his facts at the national relations. At the same time, his viewpoint is closely related to his life experience.
