以夷制夷方略及其在汉代形成和发展的原因探析

The Strategy about Controlling Foreigners by Foreigners and the Causes of Its Formation and Development in the Han Dynasty

以夷制夷方略是战国以来中原民族政权统治者在依靠自身力量之外,寻求其他民族的力量以驾驭、牵制、抗衡、打击给自身带来威胁的另一民族力量,实现其民族政策的一种重要方法和手段。农业与游牧民族二元对立下新型战争的挑战和武帝外事四夷对以夷制夷方略的形成和发展产生了重要影响。

Controlling foreigners by foreigners had been an important method and means used by the Central Plains national regime rulers to seek other national forces to control and contain, contend against another national strength, and depended on outside strength to realize their national policies since the Warring States Period. Under the antagonism between agriculture and nomadic people, the challenge of a new kind of war and the war launched by Han Wu Emperor had important influence on the formation and development of the strategy of controlling foreigners by foreigners.
