Nicola Di Cosmo received his Ph.D. from the Department of Uralic and Altaic Studies (now Central Eurasian Studies) at Indiana University in 1991, and held research and teaching positions at the University of Cambridge, Harvard University, and the University of Canterbury (New Zealand) before joining the Institute for Advanced Study in 2003. His main field of research is the history of the relations between China and Inner Asia from prehistory to the modern period. Within that broad area he has published on the early history of China's relations with steppe nomads (e.g., Ancient China and Its Enemies: The Rise of Nomadic Powers in East Asian History, 2002) and on Mongol and Manchu history (e.g., Manchu-Mongol Relations on the Eve of the Qing Conquest, 2003), and he has edited several books, including Military Culture in Imperial China, 2009, and The Cambridge History of Inner Asia, 2009. He is currently working on questions of climate change at the time of the Mongol empire, the political thought of the early Manchus, and commercial relations in northeast Asia on the eve of the Qing conquest.

This comprehensive history of the northern frontier of China through the first millennium B.C. details the formation of two increasingly distinct cultural areas: the sedentary Chinese and the northern nomads. Nicola Di Cosmo explores the tensions existing between these two worlds as they became progressively more polarized, with the eventual creation of the nomadic Hsiung-nu empire in the north, and of the Chinese empire in the south. Di Cosmo investigates the origins of the antagonism between early China and its "barbarian" neighbors.

第一章第一节的第一张图草原之路,把鄂尔多斯标注在黄河几字型拐弯的内部,也就是陕西中部,这是标注错误了,应该在黄河几字型拐弯的北面。 对于一些专用名词的翻译应该遵循统一的译名,比如塞伊玛-图尔宾诺,辛塔什塔等,不能一会儿翻成图尔宾诺,一会儿翻成图尔比诺,一会儿...

本书讲述的是从商朝至汉的早期草原民族史,前半段是基于考古学资料,后半段是基于对文献的重新解读和推理。总体来说,考古部分比较靠谱。 1、游牧民族的出现并不太久,草原民族开始是畜牧、农耕、渔猎民族或混合体。随着马车技术的发展,提高了游牧民族的流动性,逐步有了纯...

总而言之,这本书强调的结论是,中原农业文明和游牧文明的界限并非天然不可逾越,两者并非是必然的死敌,两者的界限是人为的 春秋以前的华夏和蛮夷,中原和游牧两者往往何二为一,界限并不清楚。进入春秋后,中原各国出于尊王攘夷争夺当时国际霸权的需要,经常性的丑化诋毁和...

狄宇宙在第一部分利用瞭大量考古學資料來分析早期半遊牧,遊牧文化的源起和簡單的發展階段,塞伊瑪·圖爾賓諾文化給中國北方地區的強烈影響。作者對於長城的作用給瞭新的解釋。趙燕秦的長城的進攻屬性同樣強烈,某些意義上是一種嚮北方擴張的工具,長城周圍居住大量非華夏的民族人群。這幾國代錶瞭中原對於北方資源的利用和掌控的趨嚮。其後秦朝的長城同樣具有類似的作用。其後作者探討瞭匈奴作為一個草原帝國的突然興起給漢朝帶來的強烈震撼。其中有趣的是作者認為司馬遷的描述帶有民族誌和人類學的色彩,即一種較為平等的眼光去看待匈奴社會,以及華夏之外的世界,一種經驗主義的描述傳統有彆於之前的神話色彩的濃厚。有些觀點不是獨創,拉鐵摩爾等人的學說在其中也有頻繁齣現,不過這也很正常。

评分

漢學名傢狄宇宙對中國北疆曆史的研究,也是對草原遊牧與內陸漢文化之間的攻/防雙重性的討論,比如將長城作為攻擊的存在置於討論之中,跳齣瞭以往常見的有關遊牧和防禦的視角,輔以紮實的有關長城建造的考古資料以及其他可謂浩瀚的印證。在我看來最大的意義是作者跳齣瞭“漢本位”的立場,以世界的眼光將這段中國古代史還原到瞭世界史中進行審視。
