论“索国”与突厥部的起源

On the Origin of "Suo Tribal State" and Turkic Division

"索国"是匈奴西北边鄙丁零人的小国。北匈奴西遁,公元90年以后至126年间,扩展为四大部。其中大儿部在金山中段,号为"突厥"。西晋时,南下的一支与金山之阳的蒲类人"阿恶部"融合,即为阿史那部。他们约东晋时南迁到高昌北山,进入"西域文化圈",学会冶铁,社会取得迅速发展。

＂Suo Tribal State＂ is a small state for Ding Ling people in the remote northwestern frontier of Hun territory. Moving westward, the northern sect of Hun was stretched into four major divisions from the year 90 to the year 126 A.D. with its larger part located at the mid-section of the King Shan, called ＂Turks＂. During the Western Jin Dynasty, southern sect blended with Pulei people in A＇e divi- sion, known as Ashina division. They moved southward to the northern hill of Gaoehang during the Eastern Jin Dynasty and entered ＂the cultural sphere of the Western Regions＂, where they learnt iron smelting skill and made rapid social progress.
