从文化-种族到地域主义:对河北胡化论的辨析和检讨

From Cultural Racialism to Regionalism: Differentiation and Review of Hebei Hu Assimilation Theory

自陈寅恪先生首次从民族和文化角度出发,提出河北的文化与政治双重分立的观点之后,河北胡化说俨然成为研究唐代中期历史转折之一大确论。然而细究其说便会发现,河北胡化说作为一种带有一定主观色彩和人文精神的推论,在逻辑和论证方面都不能满足后续研究的要求。近20年来,学界对河北胡化说进行了以社会生活层面为核心的丰富和发挥,其思想趋势表现为弱化胡-汉二元价值的矛盾,转而以地域化为叙述重点。这就把对文化差异的讨论放到了地域史的范畴中,从而在更加微观的层面上深化了对这一问题的认识。

For the first time, in the prospective of cultural-racialism, Mr. Chen Yinke put forward a point of view that, after the rebellion of An and Shi, the culture and politic situations were different between the Imperial society still in charge of the Tang Government and the local society in the control of warlords in northeastern China. This point of view almost became a certain argument for the study of the mid-twist of Tang Dynasty. However, this argument in the further study could not support its logical demonstration, because it was an inference with certain subjectivity and humanism. In the latest decades, scholars have been developing this argument through a higher level, suffused with ideas from the cultural society, tending to weaken the opposition of values between Hu and Han people and turning to re-narrate the history though regional perspective. In this way, they put the core of narration back into a more micro level, and deepened the understanding of the Chinese medieval history.
