多民族国家建构视野下的游牧与农耕族群互动——以明代游牧行国与王朝藩属的对峙为中心

Confrontation between the nomadic state and the vassal state of the Ming dynasty:A study of the interaction between the nomadic group and the farming group in the perspective of the construction of a multi-ethnic country

在多民族国家建构的视角下审视游牧和农耕族群的互动会得出和传统观点不同的结论。作者在概述明代游牧行国和王朝藩属体系构建的基础上,对游牧和农耕两大族群的互动做了概要分析,认为进入明代,游牧族群一度想夺回在族群互动中的主导权,但强大的政治核心势力的缺失已经难以将游牧族群凝聚为完整的一个整体,相反明王朝却实现了对农耕族群的"一统",两大族群的互动呈现"一统"对"分散"的格局,农耕族群在其中似乎多了几分主动,由此导致了两大族群的互动呈现冲突频繁的状态。

The study of the interaction between the nomadic group and the farming group in the per- spective of the construction of a multi-ethnic country will lead to conclusions different from the traditional ones. This paper firstly gives a summary review of the nomadic state and the vassal state of the Ming dynasty, and then analyzes the interaction between the nomadic group and the farming group. It concludes that in the period of the Ming dynasty, though the nomadic group wanted to play the leading role in such interaction, their lack of a powerful political core could not get all the nomadic groups united, while the Imperial Court of the Ming dynasty had realized the unification of all the framing groups who played a more important role in this interaction. Thus, the interaction between the no- madic group and the farming group has the features of both unification and disintegration plus some frequent conflicts.
