禹羌文化惠泽华夏

The Significance of Yu-Qiang Culture in China's History

《史记》"禹兴于西羌"的记载,是华、戎和欢的体现,其纽带来自相互联姻。姬、姜族群迭世婚媾,促进各族走向融合,使传承炎、黄的华夏族顺利形成。禹所处的时代是洪灾水患,这对他是严峻的考验。禹总结前人经验教训,采疏导治水方针,终于完成排洪除患的艰巨任务。禹在治水实践中,因顺自然地势,导江导山,分杀水势,分疏洪流,其科学求实和人文关爱精神是今日的宝贵财富,值得记取和借鉴。禹入主大统所行政策,关注民众生计,因地制宜,发展生产,使华夏大地重展新颜。民众走向康乐,继而兴学倡教,开我国学校教育之初曙。总之,禹、羌合流所形成的文化,确已造福万民,光照千秋。

The record in Historical Records that Yu rose from western Qiang has long been the symbol of unity of ethnic groups Hua and Rong coming from inter-marriage. Families in these two groups married for some genera- tions, which helped the integration of them, and the formation of Huaxia ethnic group. During this process, Yu re- moved the dangers of flood, promoted the farming industry, and initiated education. In general, the Yu-Qiang cul- ture from the integration of these ethnic groups has deeply influenced the later Chinese culture.
