“长城边疆”视野下的古代陇东

The Research on the Ancient Eastern Gansu in the View of “the Great Wall Frontiers”

拉铁摩尔关于中国古代长城边疆的论述,对于分析秦汉长城沿线的陇东历史具有重要的启迪。陇东地区曾经是先周的发祥之地,战国秦长城从这里穿过,至今仍有大量的遗迹。汉唐统治者注重对这里的经营。东汉因羌人势力的膨胀而出现过弃边的杂音,但是最终并未得到朝廷的认可。唐朝统治者将京西藩镇与河北藩镇区别对待,未让陇东地区脱离中央的掌控,从而消除了来自长安西北的离心隐患。

The comments of Lattimore on the ancient Great Wall frontiers of China play an important role in enlightenment to analyse the history of the eastern Gansu along the Great Wall of Qin and Han Dynas-ties. The eastern Gansu is the birthplace of the Zhou Dynasty. The Great Wall built in the WaiTing States Period and Qin Dynasty is passing through this area with lots of ruins now. The domination in the Han and Tang Dynasties attached great importance to manage the eastern Gansu. In the Eastern Han Dynasty there was some different voice to abandon the frontiers because of the Qiang＇s mightiness, but it had not been agreed by the government. The Tang government had never got out of control of this area by differ- ence treatment to eliminate the hidden danger of disloyalty.
