Abstract:
In the formation of the Chinese modern state, influenced by the Europeancentered knowledge system, the importance of nomadic power to Chinese history was nominated in historiography. The boundary of Chinese historiography was confined to the territory of modern China. The lack of geoconnections between agricultural areas, oasis and nomadic areas in historiography leads to the historical centers of “northwesternization” and “borderization”. Only the interaction between agricultural society and nomadic society was restored and its historical continuity was valued, the central meaning of “northwest” in the history of China and the whole history of Eurasia can be reflect and commonality of the Chinese nations can be understood.China does not lack historical experience of interaction with the nomadic society. “the Belt and Road” strategy should not only take into consideration the western spatial concept, but also take into account the spatial concept of Chinese history and form the geostrategy with Chinese characteristics.
