试论匈牙利民族的基督教化及影响

On the Christianization of The Hungarian Nation and Its Influence

中世纪匈牙利的主体民族马扎尔人是具有乌拉尔语系背景的一支游牧民族,最初信奉原始宗教,公元9世纪末迁至潘诺尼亚平原。他们与本地原有居民相交融,逐渐形成匈牙利民族。在国际局势和民族发展需要等因素的影响下,匈牙利民族皈依了基督教。匈牙利民族的基督教化,不仅为其建立封建国家清除了障碍,加快了文明化进程;也为其借机融入欧洲文明圈,乃至形成新的欧亚文明接触带,奠定了重要基础。

Magyars,the main ethnic group of Hungary in the middle ages,were a nomadic people with the background of Urals.They believed in primitive religion at first,and moved to Pannonia plain at the end of the 9^(th) century.They mingled with the original local residents and gradually formed the Hungarian nation.Under the influence of the international situation and the needs of national development,the Hungarian nation converted to Christianity.The Christianization of the Hungarian nation not only cleared away the obstacles for the establishment of a feudal state,which accelerated the process of civilization;but also laid an important foundation for its integration into the European civilization circle and even the formation of a new Eurasian civilization contact zone.
