说到塞人(塞种)的由来,许多西域研究论著都认为他们曾是游牧于甘肃敦煌一带的“允姓之戎”,所据史料均采自南朝荀济上梁武帝《论佛教表》中所言;“塞种本允姓之戎,世居敦煌,为月氏所逐,送往葱岭南奔,乃讹转以塞种为释种,其实一也。”又见唐颜师古对《汉书·张骞李广利传》中塞种的诠释:“塞音先得反,西域国名,即佛经所谓释种者,塞、释音相近,本一姓耳。” Speaking of the origin of the Cypriots (Cypriots), many of the Western Studies treatise that they were once “nobles” in Dunhuang, Gansu Province, according to historical data are collected from Emperor Wu of the Southern Dynasties “on the Buddhist table” In the said; “Cypriot species permit Rong family, Dunhuang home, for the month of the Byzantine, sent to the Lingling South Ben, is the wrong turn to plug the species for the release, in fact, too.” See also Tang Yan Shigu On the “Han Zhang Qian Li Guangli Biography” in the interpretation of the Cypriot species: “Cypriots first and second place, the Western countries, the so-called Buddhism release, plug, release similar, the native surname is ear.”
