唐朝时期北方游牧民族对山西的侵扰及其影响

The Invasion and Influence of Northern Nomads on Shanxi in Tang Dynasty

山西是唐朝的北部边界,因此与北方游牧民族的交往较多。当游牧民族水草丰盛,丰衣足食时,与中原地区的交往以和平为主;当游牧民族发生饥荒时,经常起兵侵扰与其相邻的山西地区,掠夺人口和财物等。在游牧民族南下侵扰山西的过程中,对该地的牧业、军队训练方式、生活风俗和饮食文化等方面均产生了深远影响,有些影响在今天依稀可见。

Shanxi was the northern border of Tang Dynasty,so it had more contacts with nomadic people in the north.When the nomadic people are rich in water and grass,when they have plenty of food and clothing,their contacts with the central plains are mainly peaceful;when the nomadic people are in famine,they often set up troops to invade the adjacent Shanxi area in order to obtain food,population and property.In the process of the nomadic people invading Shanxi Province,they had a profound influence on the animal husbandry,the way of military training,the customs of life and the culture of diet,some of which can be seen today.
