周代朝会制度与夷夏融合关系

The Meeting System in the Zhou Dynasty and Its Amalgamation with the Yi and Xia Areas

中国古代的大一统理念至少自尧舜以来已启其端绪,相应夷夏问题亦随之而起。周代虽有严夷夏之防的观念,但在政治上却借朝聘盟会制度比较成功地理顺夷夏之间的关系,其中最重要的是坚持中原文化对四夷的主导地位,从而以"用夏变夷"的方法扩大了周文化的影响和一统局面的开启与巩固。周代的夷夏政策在较多方面对秦汉以下历代王朝有借鉴意义,同时也为周秦以下中华民族多民族共同体的继续发展提供了启迪。在夷夏观念中表现出的强烈中华文化主体自觉意识,在今日中国应对世界文化新格局下的挑战时,仍不乏借鉴意义。

The idea of greatness and unity in ancient China has its beginning Since Yao and Shun, and with it arise the Yi and Xia problems. The Zhou has the idea of guarding against the Yi and Xia, but it deals with its relationship with them successfully by means of meeting them. The most important thing is to insist on the guiding position over the other areas, thus enhancing the influences of the Zhou culture and consolidating its rule. The Zhou policies to the Yi and Xia areas have provided revelations to the following dynasties such as the Qin, Han and other dynasties. The subjective consciousness of the Chinese culture has some significance for reference while dealing with the pattern of the world culture.
