西域籍沙陀人在中原称帝及其历史作用

The Ancient Shatuos of the Western Regions Who were Emperors of Inland China and Their Historical Roles

初唐时期,生活在新疆天山以北今吉木萨尔一带的沙陀人,归服朝廷,其首领屡受封赠。中唐以后,沙陀人朱耶氏因参加制服藩镇割据、平定庞勋之乱,战功卓著,被皇帝赐姓李氏。此后的后晋、后汉,以及“十国”当中的北汉,都是沙陀人建立的。

In the early Tang time, the Shatuo people of the Western Region pledged allegiance to the Empire of Tang and after the Mid Tang time, Chuyeshi, a Shatuo, contributed his meritorious military service to the Empire, and was honored the name 'Li' by the emperor. And in the time of Five Dynasties, the Shatuos established several states and there were more than ten emperors who were Shatuos.
