华夷思想,是儒家的传统观念之一。它原本是古代中国在认识、处理中原与周边民族的关系时所形成的一种民族不平等思想,后来,这种明辨尊卑、内外的等级观念逐渐成为对外交往的基本理念,即成为一种世界秩序观。华夷思想的核心内容,是以儒家的“礼”所指代的文明发展程度为基准,将世界进行序列化,并力图将自己国家置于“中华”——世界中心的地位,而以其他民族、国家为野蛮落后的“夷狄”。东亚及东南亚一些国家,包括日本、朝鲜半岛及越南等在与中国交往的过程中,都在吸收中国华夷思想的基础上形成了各自的华夷观念,华夷思想成为前近代东亚社会共通的世界秩序观。 Huayi’s thought is one of the Confucian traditions. Originally, it was originally a kind of national inequality formed by ancient China when it came to understanding and dealing with the relations between the Central Plains and its neighboring ethnic groups. Later, this concept of hierarchy that dignified discrimination, internal and external levels, gradually became the basic concept of foreign relations and became one The concept of world order. The core content of Huayi’s thought is to serialize the world on the basis of the degree of development of civilization as “Confucianism” refers to and to try to place its own country in the position of “China” - the center of the world , While other nations and countries are barbaric and backward “barbarians.” Some countries in East Asia and Southeast Asia, including Japan, the Korean Peninsula and Vietnam, all formed their respective ideas of Hua Yi on the basis of absorbing the Chinese Hua Yi thought in their contacts with China. The thought of Hua Yi became the common feature of the modern East Asian society View of world order.
