北宋时期西部边区的民族冲突与社会控制

Ethnic Conflicts and Social Control in the Western Border Areas during the Northern Song Dynasty

北宋时期西部边疆地区成为各种矛盾汇集和冲突多发的区域,包括汉族与沿边少数民族的矛盾冲突、少数民族之间的矛盾冲突。由于西夏等民族政权力量的介入,使各种矛盾冲突交织,加剧了西部边区的复杂局势。为此,宋廷采取军事、经济、政治、法律、文教等多方面的措施互相配合,对西部边区社会进行综合管控,逐渐形成了具有北宋特色的西部边疆控制体系。即不再以军事力量作为唯一解决矛盾冲突的手段,而是顺应历史发展趋势,突出以经济等和平手段应对民族冲突,从而保障了西部边区社会的基本稳定,为北宋王朝“百年无事”局面的形成贡献了力量。
