略论唐朝治理西域的战略思想与民族政策

On the Strategic Thinking and Ethnic Policies of Tang Dynasty for the Western Regions

"胡汉一家,厚德载物,汉胡合治"是唐朝治理西域战略思想的集中体现。唐在西域实行的民族政策是政治区划分而自治,在经济上实行轻税制,在军事上对诸胡实行城傍子弟兵制,在文化方面实行兼容并蓄文化政策,以华夏文化为主导,与诸胡语言文字、文化民俗并存。

Tang Dynasty's strategic thinking for the Western Regions can be summarized as'Hu and Han are of the same family; the earth's condition is receptive devotion; and Han-Hu cooperative administration'. The ethnic policy caught out in the Western Regions is to divide it into administrative areas for self-rule in politics and lighten tax in economy. In military aspect,a system of Cheng-Bang-Zi-DiBing,meaning the city is dependent on its own army,was practiced. The cultural policy is fully inclusive and equitable,taking Chinese culture as the leading factor with coexistence of various Hu languages,writing,cultures and folkways.
