“夷夏之辨”与中原文化

"The Difference Between Barbarians and China" and the Central Plains Culture

在中国古代相当长的历史时期里,中原文化一直处于正统和主导地位,被华夏族视为自己的专利。而入主中原的周边民族出于政治上的考虑也把中原文化视为文化的最高境界和立足中原的文化依据,于是在中原文化承继问题上的"正统"与否就成了"夷夏之辨"与"辩"的核心论题。持久不减地对中原文化的追捧在客观上强化了中原文化在中国文化中的核心地位,极大地推动了中原文化的传播。

For quite a long historic time in ancient China,the Central Plains culture had been in the legitimacy and leading position and was taken as its own patent by Chinese Nation,while the nations around the Central Plains that entered into the Central Plains also took the Central Plains culture as the highest realm of culture and the cultural dependence for them to base upon the Central Plains owing to political reasons.So,the legitimacy or non-legitimacy with regard to the inheritance of the Central Plains became the kemalsubject of the difference between barbarians and China＂ and the ＂debate： The last seeking and praizing the Central Plains objectively strengthens the kemal position of the Central Plains culture in the Chinese culture and tremendously promotes the communication of the Central Plains culture.
