摘要
１５世纪初期，瓦剌（亦称西部蒙古）势力强大起来后，即与明王朝在政治、军事、经济诸方面，发生着重要关系，构成为西北民族关系的特殊局面。首先是对丝绸之路要道——哈密的争夺，双方经过三十多年的反复较量，明朝政府苦心经营的哈密、沙州、罕东、赤斤蒙古诸卫地区，落入了瓦剌之手。其次，虽在关系紧张时期，相互政治、经济联系也仍然不断。瓦剌首领及其大小头目既接受明王朝封官授赐，又贡使“络绎于道，驼马迭贡于廷”，联系密切，蒙。
Wala (or West Mongol) became powerful in the early 15th century and established relationships with the Ming in politics, military affairs, economy and other areas so that a special pattern of relations had been formed among the nationalities in the northwest. After a thirty odd years fight over Hami, the stronghold on the Silk Road was seized by Wala together with Sha, Handong and Chijin run laboriously by the Ming Dynasty long before that. It should be pointed out that political and economic relations were not blocked by those military affairs. The Wala captains still accepted grants and donations from and paid tributes to the Dynasty. And the folk trade between the Han and the Mongolian were more frequent.
