论清初西北边疆民族政策的指导思想

The Guiding Principle of Ethnic Policies in the Northwstern Frontier during the Early Qing Dynasty

清朝重新统一西北边疆少数民族地区以后,出于稳定边疆形势、维护领土完整的施政目的,制定了一系列政治、经济和文化政策。其中,大一统观念是清朝制定民族政策的思想基础,极力淡化华夷观念是清朝民族政策的指导方针,"德足绥怀,威足临治"是清朝处理民族问题的总方针,因俗而治是清朝制定和实施边疆少数民族政策的基本手段。

After the reunification of ethnic groups on the northwestern frontier,the Qing government implemented a series of political,economic and cultural policies to stabilize the frontier and defend its territory.In the course of carrying out these policies,the fundamental guideline of the Qing rulers was overall conformity of the whole nation and therefore they tended to minimize,as much as possible,the differences between the Han people and the minorities. In handling ethnic issues they conformed to the principle that virtue results in peace and power results in obedience.
