藏地史前“十二小邦”考

On Tibetan “12 Minor State”

古代藏地小邦林立,藏文史籍所载"十二小邦"并非"错误说"与"泛称说"之结果。这十二个小邦曾经真实存在于青藏高原,然而它们在雅隆悉补野部落联盟和吐蕃王朝这两个前后相续的时期中,存在意义和价值发生了较大改变。

There were many small local powers in Tibet in ancient times.The name of'12 Minor State'was not a result of errors or a general term.These 12 small states had once really existed on Tibetan-Qinghai Plateau.But as a terminology,the meaning and value of'12 Minor State'was different from Yanaon tribal alliance period to Tubo Dynasty.'12 Minor State',which had existed in pre-historical time,had an extraordinary meaning for the whole ancient Tibetan history.
