中国濮人研究的学术史考察

A Study on the Academic History of the Chinese Pu People

濮是从商周到明清时期活动在中国中南、西南地区的一个古老族群,有“百濮”之称。濮人和氐羌、百越、三苗一起被称作我国古代四大族群,但是唯独濮人历久而来却又于今不见,消失在历史的长河中。学术界的相关研究主要集中在濮的由来、与其他古族关系、发展流变等几个方面,大家对于影响濮人发展演进的历史关联因素挖掘还不够深入,有关濮人源流史的研究仍有很大空间,研究方法和视阈尚需改进。从探索中华民族共同体历史形成的视角,对濮人进行长时段、全面的研究很有必要。

The Pu,aka the Baipu,was an ancient ethnic group that lived and multiplied in China's south-central and southwestern regions from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties to the Ming and Qing Dynasties.The Pu,the Diqiang,the Baiyue and the Threemiao were the four largest ethnic groups in ancient China,among whom only the Pu people had existed here for a very long time before disappearing.The related research of the academic circle is mainly focused on the origin of the Pu,their relationship with other ancient ethnic groups,their development and changes,and so on.Academic research into the Pu and their historical evolution are far from deep,leaving huge room for further study from fresh perspectives in innovative methods and with broader vision.It is,therefore,necessary to conduct a long-term and comprehensive study on the Pu people.
