国内外蒙古史学者们研究四卫拉特史近二百年了,但四卫拉特史上的许多问题,至今尚未完全解决。例如:关于卫拉特、卡耳梅克、准噶尔等名称的来历及其含意;这些名称与四卫拉特这一名称之间的关系;假若把四卫拉特看做是四卫拉特联盟,那么这一联盟究竟何时何因建立起来的,参加联盟者及其前后的变化如何,等等。对这些问题,专家们的意见还有很大分歧。我们认为,四卫拉特联盟实际上分为早期四卫拉特、中期四卫拉特和晚期四卫拉特三个阶段。本文试图探讨早期四卫拉特(1437—1502)的演变过程,错误难免,请不吝指正。 At home and abroad, Mongolian historians have studied the history of IVA for nearly 200 years, but many problems in the history of IVA have not yet been completely solved. For example, the origins and meanings of names such as Oirat, Kamemek and Junggar; the relationship between these names and the name of the four-dimensional Lattice; and if the four-imperialism is considered as the four-imperialistic coalition, What is the reason for what has been established, the changes that have taken place in and around the Alliance, and so on. The opinions of experts are still very different on these issues. In our opinion, the four-echelons Union is actually divided into three stages: the early four-manila, the mid-term four-manila and the late four-manila. This article attempts to explore the evolution of the early four-dimensional Latter (1437-1502), the error is inevitable, please do not hesitate to correct me.
