于阗尉迟氏源出鲜卑考——中古尉迟氏研究之二

A Study on the Xianbei Origin of the Yuchi Family in Khotan——Research on the Medieval Yuchi Family Ⅱ

在前人研究的基础上,梳理出目前已知于阗王尉迟氏的世系;对公元445年吐谷浑主慕利延入于阗,"杀其王,有其地"进行了再讨论;从史籍中辑出3—5世纪尉迟部活动于以尉迟川为中心的青海湖四周,论证了于阗尉迟氏"殿门东向","妻戴金花","貌不甚胡,颇类华夏"等特征与吐谷浑的一致性;认为于阗尉迟氏乃吐谷浑之一部分,乃5世纪中慕利延入于阗后留作统主者。

Based on previous researches, this paper attempts to tease out some information about the currently known descent of the Khotanese King surnamed Yuchi and reevaluates the historical records establishing that Mu Liyan, king of Tuyuhun, entered Khotan, ＂killing the King of Khotan and occupying his land.＂ According to historical records, the clan of Yuchi lived around Qinghai Lake from the third to the fifth centuries.This paper also demonstrates consistencies between the clan of Yuchi and the Tuyuhun： that their palaces faced east and their queens wore a headdress of gold flowers looking more like Chinese people in appearance. Finally, the paper comes to the conclusion that the clan of Yuchi in Khotan was a part of the Tuyuhun, who stayed in Khotan as rulers after Mu Liyan＇ s occupation in the middle of the fifth century.
