从“空桐”与“奎屯”关系看夏文化的起源

Origin of the Xia Culture： a Perspective from the Relationship between ＂空桐 （Kongtong） ＂ and ＂奎屯 （ Kuitun）＂

古汉语词"空桐",是阿尔泰语"奎屯"的对音,"奎屯"的意思是寒、凉。古汉语中吸收了很多阿尔泰语,尤其是黄河以北的山川地理专名。其中"空桐"就是典型例证。在古汉语的众多历史文献中,凡是出现"空桐"词语的同时,都有与黄帝行迹或传说的记载,由此可以推知黄帝很有可能是古代游牧民族的领袖或神,所以夏文化即黄帝文化起源于游牧文化,中华民族的人文始祖——五帝之首的黄帝当然就来自游牧民族了。

＂空桐 （Kongtong） ＂ in ancient Chinese is the diaphone of ＂奎屯 （Kuitun）＂ in meaning is ＂cold＂ and ＂cool＂. There are many Altaic words in ancient Chinese, especially the proper nouns of maintains and rivers in the northern Yellow River with ＂空桐 （ Kongtong） ＂ as a typical Ahai whose geographical example. In many historical references of ancient Chinese, where there is the word of ＂空桐（Kongtong） ＂ , there is record a- bout the trace or fable of Emperor Huang. Accordingly, it can be deduced that Emperor Huang is most probably a chief or god of an ancient nomadic ethnic group. Therefore, the Xia culture, namely Emperor Huang culture, is o- riginated from nomadic culture, and Emperor Huang who is earliest ancestor of Chinese humanity and the chief of the Five Lords （legendary rulers of remote antiquity in China） is certainly from a nomadic ethnic group.
