土尔扈特人在伏尔加河时期的联姻状况述评

土尔扈特蒙古西迁至伏尔加河流域后，与杜尔伯特、准噶尔、和硕特、喀尔喀、卡巴尔达之间发生过多次联姻。土尔扈特与杜尔伯特联姻是伏尔加河流域杜尔伯特部形成的重要原因，是修复双方联盟关系的重要手段，也是导致杜尔伯特未随渥巴锡东归的关键原因。土尔扈特和准噶尔的联姻是双方联盟的纽带，可以促进部落间交流，增强彼此间团结互信，巩固联盟，壮大实力；但是，联姻的破裂对双方的内外政治环境都会产生长久而深刻的不利影响。

A Commentary on the Matrimonial Alliances of Torgut Mongolians at the Volga River

After Torgut Mongolians migrated westward to the Volga River valley, they formed many matrimonial alliances with Durbat, Junggar, Hoshote, Qarka and Kbarda mongolians. The matrimonial alliance between Torgut and Durbat was an important reason for the formation of Durbat mongolians. It was an important means to amend the allied relations of the two sides and was a key reason why Durbat mongolians didn＇t migrate eastward with Wobaxi. The matrimonial alliance between the two contributed to the tribal communication, enhanced the trust and unity and strengthen the alliance. But the breakdown of the matrimonial alliance may have a long and deep negative influence on the political environment inside and outside of the two sides.
