铁弗匈奴的族源、族称及其流散

铁弗匈奴是南匈奴去卑一支之后裔,因故逃归塞外之后,与迁居匈奴故地的鲜卑混居杂处而形成的一个新族体。其族称＂铁弗＂始于刘虎,源于北人谓＂胡父鲜卑母＂为＂铁弗＂。史书中有时称其为＂乌丸（桓）＂,是因拓跋魏将诸方杂人来附者谓之＂乌丸＂,至于与屠各之关系则是刘渊族源的衍生问题。夏政权灭亡之后,铁弗匈奴流散情况主要有三种：一是归入北魏;二是融入吐谷浑;三是继续保持＂刘＂姓活动在朔方地区。

Clan Source,Clan Name and Dispersion of Tafel Huns

Tafel Hun,as the descendant of one of south Hsiungnu,was a new nationality who mixed with Xianbei moving to the old haunt of Huns after they escaped beyond the Great Wall for some reason.Its clan name ＂Tafel＂ derives from Hu Liu,stemming from the fact that the Northman called ＂Hu Father Xianbei Mother＂ as ＂Tafel.＂ The reason that history books sometimes called ＂Karasuma（WuHuan）＂ is that Tuoba Wei called cliens from all sides as ＂Karasuma＂,and the relationship with the Chu Ge tribes was the derivative problems from the source of Yuan Liu.After the demise of the Xia regime,the dispersion of Tafel Huns was mainly divided into three ways： first,they were included in the Northern Wei Dynasty;second,they were integrated into the Tuyuhun;third,they continued to exercise their activities by maintaining ＂Liu＂ name in Shuofang areas.
