傣泰民族起源与傣泰民族文化圈的形成新探

中国古代不存在一个可成其为民族的越人族体,泰人也不是越人演变而来的,傣泰民族在汉代以前的历史的追溯已无意义。傣泰民族可追溯的源流在汉代云南滇中,并随后向南迁移到今天的云南南部及东南亚一带。由于傣泰民族在长期的历史迁移与发展中保持了水稻种植、“勐-阪”制度与文化的复制模式,使傣泰民族的先民们能在长期的迁移过程中定居并壮大起来,从而在今天形成了一个傣泰民族居住的文化圈。傣泰民族文化圈是一个文化地理概念,基于共同的民族渊源关系,人们互相理解、宽容、合作、开展社会与经济的交流,共同促进民族与文化的发展,是当代理解傣泰民族文化的新思维。

A Probe into the Origin of Thai-Dai People and Formation of Thai-Dai Ethnic Cultural Circle

There is not a Yue people as a ethnic group that has even been existed in the ancient times of China, nor Dai- Tai people evolved from Yue peoples. So it is senseless to trace the original history of Dai -Tai ethnic group before Han dynasty. The source of the history of Dai-Tai ethnic group that should be searched is in the center area of Yunnan, and later that people has immigrated and settled to the south areas of the Yunnan and southeast Asian countries. As a result of three key cultural elements of wet rice cultivation, the institution of Moung-Ban and pattern of cultural copy was kept in the process of the immigration and settlement on the long-time history, Dai-Tai ethnic group has developed large, and a Dai-Tai Cultural Zone has finally formed in the areas settled by Dai-Tai people. The Dai-Tai Cultural Zone should be understood as a cultural- eco idea. The new thinking for understanding it on current age is, based on the common sourced ethnic relationship, understanding, tolerating, cooperating and promoting socio-economic exchange and development among the peoples and the areas.
