论战国之“胡”为匈奴专称

On "Hu" as An Appellation for the Huns During the Period of the Warring States

通过对"匈奴驱驰楼烦之下"等史料记载的分析,我们可以发现,至迟在公元前270年时,秦、赵、燕三国都已经与匈奴相邻,没有理由质疑"三国边于匈奴";"匈奴"称谓出现前,以"胡"称在北方崭露头角,所以,匈奴与中原发生关系可以上溯至公元前4世纪或者更早。

By analyzing such historical records as ＂ the Huns galloping across The Loufan＂ we can find that as late as 270 BC,the Kingdoms of Qin,Zhao and Yan had been adjacent to the Huns and accordingly there is no reason to question ＂ three kingdoms bordering the Huns＂; before the appearance of the appellation of ＂ the Huns＂,they had risen in the north and therefore the relationship of the Huns with the Central Plain can be traced back to the 4th century BC or even earlier.
