播州土司族源重构之我见

On the Ethnic Source of Tusi of Bozhou

播州土司是西南边疆少数民族地区势力最雄厚的土司之一,是中原王朝治理西南边陲的代理人。宋濂编写《杨氏家传》,重构播州杨氏土司族源,认为杨氏祖先杨端是山西省太原人,这是一种具有国家层面外在的、明显的强制性认同。随着历史的演变,播州土司地区的国家认同观念是由内在因素和外在因素共同建构的,其中既有中央王朝强制性的外在因素,又有播州杨氏土司的自觉性融入,成为由外而内形成的一种主动的、自发的国家认同观念。

The Tusi of Bozhou,one of the most powerful chieftains in southwestern regions,was the indirect agency of Central Government to govern southwestern frontier.In the book“The Legendary of Yang Family”,Song Lian reconstructed the ethnic source of the chieftain of Yang family in Bozhou,deeming that Yang Duan,the ancestor of Yang family,was fromTaiyuan of Shanxi,a kind of exterior mandatory identity by government.With the evolution of history,the concept of national identity of chieftain in Bozhou is constructed jointly by external factors and internal factors,of which some are fromthe central dynasty mandatory external factors and some are from self-conscious integration of the Yang’s chieftain,forming an active and automatic concept identified by government from outside to inside.
