成吉思汗的遺緒對當代蒙中關係的影響
The Impact of the Legacy of Genghis Khan on Contemporary Sino-Mongolian Relations
摘要
一場以成吉思汗為主題的展覽原訂於2020在法國舉辦，然而中國政府對展覽中所使用如「成吉思汗」及「蒙古帝國」等詞語的審查，導致準備工作暫停。而中國及蒙古過去都曾利用或掩蓋過成吉思汗的形象，以符合民族國家發展敘事及集體認同的建立。本研究受到法國成吉思汗展覽的啟發，首先將分析兩國在上世紀中控制及利用成吉思汗形象的動機，接著討論成吉思汗形象如何影響兩國關係，最後將比較兩國在應用成吉思汗形象上所造成的影響，並提出現階段兩國關係發展的可能性。本研究發現兩國對於成吉思汗形象依舊各自表述，不過為維持兩國和平友好且穩定的雙邊關係，目前並未直面此議題所隱含的衝突。

A Genghis Khan-themed exhibition was supposed to open in France in 2020, but was halted due to China’s censorship among certain terms, such as “Genghis Khan”, “Mongol”, and “Empire”. China and Mongolia have both applied and rejected the image of this legendary hero in each of their process of national development and the establishment of collective identity. The research therefore begins from the incident of the Genghis Khan exhibition and analyzes the motivations of the two states on controlling and applying the image of Genghis Khan in the past century. This thesis also attempts to discuss the impacts of the image on the relations between the two states, while both states have used the image to realize idiosyncratic political purposes. The research concludes through comparing the two states’ influences on the issue and proposing potential results of applying the image in current times. The thesis finds that the two states have their own respective interpretations of the historic hero; while in the same time they’ve avoided direct confrontation in order to maintain cordial and stable bilateral relations.
