关于王延德《西州程记》记录的漠北部族

On the Tribes in the North of the Gobi Desert Recorded in Wang Yande's Xizhou Cheng Ji

王延德撰《西州程记》是关于早期高昌回鹘历史的重要史料,亦是研究10世纪中国北方民族史的基本材料。关于王延德所记录的漠北九族达靼部落的居地与名称的考释,反映了当时的九族达靼主要位于包括鄂尔浑河流域在内的杭爱山脉至土拉河一带,其部族名称与《辽史》记录的阻卜的部族名称,以及《史集》记录的克烈部及其分族的名称有着密切关系。当时的九族达靼直接向北宋王朝朝贡,且其社会已经产生了阶级分化。

Wang Yande's Xizhou Cheng Ji (《西州程记》) is an important historical material about the early history of Qocho Uyghur Kingdom, and also the fundamental material for studying the tribes in the northern frontier of China in the 10th century. The author's interpretation about the nomadic area and names of Nine Tatar tribes in north of the Gobi Desert recorded by Wang Yande, Reflects that Nine Tatar tribes at that time was mainly located in the area between Khangai Mountains and Tuul River, including the Orkhon River Basin. The names of nine Tatar tribes are closely related to the names of Zubu(阻卜) tribes recorded in Liaoshi (《辽史》), and the names of Kereit and its sub-groups recorded in Jami‘al-Tarikh . At that time, Nine Tatar directly paid tribute to the Northern Song Dynasty, and their society had already produced class differentiation.
