虽然宋朝与大理国之间未发生过战争，但宋朝还是对大理国作出了富于军事攻击性的人性假定。这种假定体现在一些
边吏的话语中，也体现在宋朝通过密切与大理国周边民族或民族政权的关系而建立起来的防御大理国的西南防御体系中。宋朝之所以作出这样的假定，一个原因是宋朝认为大理国就是南诏国的继续，而南诏国具有很强的军事攻击性；另一个原因是宋朝当时受到富于军事攻击性的契丹、党项等少数民族严重的威胁。虽然宋朝的假定与具体事实不符但还是取得了好的效果，达到了预期的目的。
War didn't take place between Song Dynasty and Dali Kingdom, however, Song Dynasty made an assumption that Dali Kingdom was full of military offensiveness. Such hypothesis was reflected in the discourse of borderland government officials, as well as in Song Dynasty's southwest defending system guarding against Dali Kingdom. One of the reasons of the assumption was that the kingdom of Nanzhao and other ethnic nationalities had strong military aggressiveness. And Song Dynasty thought that Dali Kingdom was a continuation of the kingdom of Nanzhao. Another reason was that Song Dynasty was seriously threatened by ethnic nationalities at that time. The hypothesis did not match with actual facts, but it had obtained good results and achieved the expecting goals.
