Abstract: In Song Dynasty, stressing the civil arts over the military arts results in a passive position in the war against foreign invasion. The Northern Song Dynasty and Liao, Xixia began to have equal status, rather than the previously overwhelming position in the Central Plains, whose people for the first time felt the fear between the “weak” reality and “extremely arrogant” ideal. The Northern Song Dynasty government carried out a a series of policies to restrict or prohibit the flow of books abroad, which marks the germination of scholars consciousness of national concern in the central plains and reflects the change of the outlook of “superior Han Chinese and inferior barbarous minority Chinese”.

Key words: Song Dynasty, book restriction order, the outlook of superior Han and inferior minorities, Liao Dynasty, Xixia Dynasty

摘要： 宋朝重文轻武，导致在对外战争中处于被动地位。北宋与辽、西夏开始处于平等外交地位，而非先前附庸主从关系，中原士人第一次在“积贫积弱”的现实与“夜郎自大”的理想之间惶恐着。对此，北宋实行了一系列限制或禁止书籍流向外族的政策，这一方面标志着中原士人关于民族忧患意识的萌发，另一方面反映了“华尊夷贱”观念的变化。
