游牧区与农耕区的二元关系是中国历史场域中的核心事件。中国史场域的完整性不仅取决于农耕地区历史运动的自立性，也取决于游牧地区历史所具有的中国史属性。尽管成中国历史场域的游牧地区与欧亚草原其他地区存在着较为广泛的联系，但其游牧文化有着相对独立的起源；中国游牧地区的经济、政治发展更多与中原农耕地区相关，其兴起与衰落过程也与中原王朝相对应；中国游牧地区族群所具有的政治体量优势与组织化优势使其在欧亚草原上具有相对独立的地位，并常常成为民族大迁徙的策源地。这些情况表明，尽管存在与欧亚草原其他地区的联系，但中国游牧地区仍然具有中国历史场域的性质。唐朝时阿拉伯帝国的崛起，使中国游牧族群的迁徙受到中外地缘关系变化的推动，中国历史的场域范围也随之更加明晰。

The binary relationship between nomadic and agricultural regions was a core event in the field of Chinese history. The integrity of the field of Chinese history depends not only on the independence of historical movements in agricultural areas, but also on the Chinese historical attributes possessed by the history of nomadic regions. Although the nomadic regions that constitute the historical field of China had extensive connections with other regions of the Eurasian grasslands, their nomadic culture had a relatively independent origin. The economic and political development was more related to China’s agricultural regions, and the rise and decline process also corresponds to the Central Plains dynasties. Its political size and organizational advantages gave it relative independence on the Eurasian grasslands, often becoming a source of ethnic migration. All of these can indicate that although there are connections with other regions in the Eurasian grasslands, China’s nomadic regions still have the nature of a Chinese historical field. The rise of the Arab Empire during the Tang Dynasty drove the migration of Chinese nomadic communities to be driven by changes in Sino foreign geopolitical relations, which proved the integrity of the field of Chinese history.
