“裕固学”应擎起河西回鹘研究的大旗

Rising the Banner: Significance of the Research of Hexi Uighurs for Yugurology

裕固族的直系祖先来自河西回鹘而非学界常说的西州回鹘,裕固族东迁传说中的西至哈至指的是沙州瓜州而非吐鲁番。元代蒙古豳王家族入居河西西端,与当地回鹘融合而形成裕固族这个新的民族共同体。宋代以后见诸史册的黄头回纥,其实就是沙州回鹘之另称。对裕固族形成史的研究,应特别关注河西回鹘,同样地,对裕固族文化的认识,也需要与河西回鹘相联系。只有把裕固族历史文化置于河西回鹘大背景中来认识,将河西回鹘之源与蒙古豳王家族之流做通盘考虑,才能真正解决裕固学研究中的诸多难解之谜。

The immediate ancestors of the Yugurs, namely Uighurs came from Hexi Corridor rather than the old academic saying that they were from Uighurs of Xizhou region, ii - Hai/iji - Haji mentioned in the legend of Yugurs＇ eastward migration refer to Shazhou （namely Dunhuang） and Guazhou respectively, not Turpan. In Yuan Dynasty, the Mongolian Princes of Bin family who garrisoned the western part of Hexi Corridor made fusion with the local Uighurs, and then the new national community, namely Yugurs came into being. SaliYuighurs （Yellow Head Uygur） seen in the historical texts since Song Dynasty were all another name of Shazhou Uighur actually. In the research of the history of Yugurs＇ formation, special attention should be given to the Uighur of Hexi Corridor. Similarly, to understand the Yugur culture also needs to relate it with the Uighur of Hexi Corri- dor. And the countermeasures to truly solve the puzzles emerged in its extant research may well be the way of un- derstanding the Yugur history and culture being put into the background of Hexi Uighur, and both Hexi Uighur and Mongolian Princes of Bin family being taken into consideration comprehensively.
