李唐王朝的域外形象及历史启示

The Image of the Tang Dynasty in Foreign Countries and Historical Revelation

在公元七世纪至九世纪,强盛的李唐王朝以自信的心态看待域外世界,其开明的政治、经济、文化政策,吸引了大量域外商人、僧侣、学者入唐经商、传法、学习。通过九世纪的日僧圆仁、阿拉伯商人阿布.赛义德、新罗学者崔致远等人的著作,能够清楚地看到李唐王朝的域外形象,并由此可以雄辩地说明一个国家良好的域外形象与增强其国力之间的互动关系。

From the seventh century to the ninth century, the Tang dynasty was at its climax, whose politics, economy, culture attracted many foreigners such as businessmen, monks and scholars. From the books by Japanese monks, Arabian businessmen and other scholars, we can clearly know the image of the Tang dynasty in foreign countries, showing a dynamic relationship between a good image and national strength.
