- Abstract
The key to understanding the Guanzhong-centered policy is the proposal "internal concord first, going with the times and taking action" raised by Heba Sheng, a great general of the Western Wei. While Yuwen Tai was in power, his policy was implemented, basically following the proposal. "Going with the times and taking action" is the criticism made on Yuwen Tai's urgency to make war regardless of the military strength gap between the Western Wei and the Eastern Wei. The lesson is drawn from the military reverses in the Heqiao battle and the Mangshan battle. The military reverses in the two battles also reveal the internal conflicts in Wuchuan Group. "Internal concord first" means to consolidate the internal unity first. Undoubtedly, Heba Sheng lays stress on the concord within Wuchuan Group, while Yuwen Tai, based on the experience in Guanlong society, places more emphasis on the integration of Wuchuan Group's forces and non-Wuchuan Group' s forces. Considering Yuwen Tai's policies and conduct after the year of 543, the Guanzhong-centered policy is a kind of political and cultural practice which emphasizes internal integration.
