儒家思想与隋唐时期粟特人的汉化及民族认同

Confucianism and the Sinicization of the Sogdians in China during the Sui and Tang Dynasties and Their National Identification

儒家思想是中国历史上最先进、最完备、影响力最大的思想文化体系,自汉武帝“罢黜百家,独尊儒术”之后,一跃成为中华民族的统治思想,并逐渐被中华大地的各少数民族推崇,奉为行为准则和道德标准。隋唐时期,入华粟特人被中华民族强大、文明、先进的儒家思想与文化所吸引和感染,他们积极主动地研习儒家经典,诵读诗书,学习礼仪,逐渐汉化并形成对基于儒家思想的中华民族的认同,最终成为中华民族大家庭的新成员,并增强了隋唐时期多民族国家的中华民族共同体意识。

Confucianism is the most advanced,most complete and most influential ideological and cultural system in Chinese history.Since Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty “deposed a hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone”,it has become a ruling ideology of the Chinese nation,and has gradually been respected by ethnic minorities in China as a code of conduct and moral standard.The Sogdians in China are attracted and influenced by the powerful,civilized and advanced Confucianism and the culture of the Chinese nation.They take the initiative to study Confucian classics,read poetry,and learn etiquette and other Confucian culture,gradually sinicizing themselves,forming their identification with the Chinese nation in light of Confucianism,finally becoming a new member of the Chinese national family,and further enhancing the consciousness of the Chinese nation community of a multi-ethnic country dating back to the Sui and Tang dynasties.
