寻找匈奴西迁的踪迹——试论匈人、匈奴同族说

A Study on the Westward Migration of Hsiung-Nu——The relationship between the Huns and Hsiung-Nu

18世纪的法国学者德·奎尼在参考了中国古代文献后,提出了影响学术界两个多世纪的匈人、匈奴同族说。但是,这一说法在解释上却留有举证的空白期。即公元91年北匈奴在金微山之败后向西迁徙,到匈人见于西方记载之间存在着两百多年难以考证的历史。因此,证明匈奴起源说的关键,就在于理清这二百多年中北匈奴人的走向。并尽可能的结合相关史料,考证其西迁的最后去向。文章在确认这一去向的基础上,对接西方文献关于匈人起源的相关信息,试图找出匈人即匈奴的关键证据。

The viewpoint that Hsiung-Nuhad migrated to Europe seemed to be proposed by the French scholar Joseph De Guignes at 18 th century by his long time research upon Chinese ancient sources.But this viewpoint has weakness in its demonstration,especially,no one can explain where should Hsiung-Nuescape after they failed in the battle of Jinweishan.Since then,there seems to be no trail about their trend.Almost two and fifty hundred years has gone,before the Huns appeared in sight of the eyes of the west historians.So the most important thing for us is to find out what happened to Hsiung-Nuin this period,how they could come through Central Asia,finally,what is the last trail in their westward migration.In this point,we can connect the Huns with Hsiung-Nu by deeply researching in both west and ancient Chinese sources.
