中国边疆的基本特性
The Basic Attributes of the China’s Frontiers
-
摘要: “边疆”的概念不同于作为线的边界，也不同于指称濒临边界线的幅员有限的边境。中国的边疆概念，要到晚清方才逐渐成熟，是指在一个规模远大于华夏、又小于“天下”的“中国”与其四邻界分判然之后，才会因中国境内有别于府县所辖之华夏的“边裔”与国界以外的“边裔”之间的归属区别而突显出来。于是边疆也就不能不主要以其民族或族裔的属性来予以界定。因而这样的中国边疆的最基本特征就是它的民族性。基于中国边疆的极大一部分属于内陆亚洲的地理范围这一事实，中国边疆的民族属性又在很大程度上体现为内亚性诸特征。因此在界定何谓中国时，绝不能忽略内亚诸元素在其中的应有之义。Abstract: How big are the areas the China’s frontiers cover? The paper begins with this topic, and reveals that the basic feature of China’s frontiers is its characteristics of various ethnic groups living there. It further proposes that, based on the fact that geographically a large part of China’s frontiers is in the location of the Inner Asia, the ethnic characteristics of China’s frontiers reflect the special attributes of the inner Asia as well. Therefore, when defining what is meant by China, one must not lose sight of the implications of Inner Asian elements within it.
