汉文史籍关于嚈哒的记载(上)

Records Relevant to the Hephthalites in Ancient Chinese Historical Works(Volume 1 of 2)

嚈哒史料至少涉及九种语文,其中最重要的无疑是汉文史料,可以说,如果没有汉文史料,重建嚈哒史是完全不可能的。汉文史料的数量虽然不多,但涉及面很广。在此只能选择其中最有价值的,而一些重复的、间接的材料,就祇能割舍了。

The historical materials on the Hephthalites involve at least nine languages. Of them,the most important are undoubtedly the Chinese historical materials. In a manner of speaking,if there were no Chinese historical materials,it would be impossible to reconstruct the history of the Hephthalites. The number of Chinese historical materials is few,but they cover a very wide range. Here we can only select the most valuable,and dismiss the repetitive or indirect materials.
