当前研究高句丽归属的几个问题

Some Questions concerning the Ownership of Koguryo

研究高句丽归属问题 ,其理论原则必须放之四海而皆准。确定历史上一些国家的归属 ,主要应依据两点 :一是看它主要分布在哪一个国家的传统疆界之内 ;一是看它主要隶属于哪一国家的中央政权。据此应该肯定 ,高句丽长期以来主要是中国的少数民族 ,是中国的地方政权。应当承认中朝两国人民对高句丽双向继承的事实 ,但高句丽主要由中国所继承 ,不容否认。“一史两用”不可避免 ,但前提是必须辨明历史上归属的真相 ,而不应因此就把在别国疆域内本属别国的民族和政权说成是原属本国。如果再据此提出今天的领土要求 ,当属严重的政治问题 。

The paper makes a study of some questions concerning the ownership of Koguryo at present and points out that the ascertainment of some ancient kingdoms' ownership should mainly be based on two points: one is that their location should be within the traditional bound of a country and the other is that they were under the jurisdiction of a central government. So it can be ascertained that Koguryo had been one of China's ethnic minorities and one of China's local governments. Admittedly, China and Korea both claim the right of Koguryo's inheritance, but it cannot be denied that its inheritance mainly belongs to China. It is an unavoidable fact that one history can serve two countries on the premise that the ownership in ancient times should be clarified rather than be confused. A country should not regard as its own an ethnic group or a local government within the bound and under the jurisdiction of another country. It is wrong to make a territorial claim from this, which should be rejected by two peoples.
