13世纪初,蒙古的西征和扩张,客观上促使东西交通畅通,数以十万计的中亚、西亚各族或被签发,或以别的途径进入中国,导致元代中国文化空前丰富。元朝政治上实现大一统,在统一多民族国家的交流、融合的大趋势下,民族融合不断加强,逐渐形成以中原传统为主的文化认同趋势。 In the early 13th century, the expedition and expansion of Mongolia objectively facilitated the smooth flow of things. Hundreds of thousands of Central Asian and Western Asian peoples were either signed or otherwise imported into China, resulting in an unprecedented enrichment of Chinese culture in the Yuan Dynasty. Under the general trend of unifying the exchanges and integration of multi-ethnic countries, the national integration continued to strengthen and gradually formed a cultural identification trend centered on the tradition of the Central Plains.
