新城旧邦:唐代轮台城研究评述

New City on Old Foundation:On Luntai City in Tang Dynasty

轮台是中原王朝经营西域的重要地标,早在汉代就在轮台设置屯戍。汉唐轮台“同名异地”,唐承“汉轮台”之名,在西突厥别部处月部落设轮台县,此为唐朝在天山北麓游牧族群核心处最早设立的属县。轮台县设置后,迅速发展为天山北麓仅次于庭州的军政中心。轮台的重要性引起了学者的广泛关注,学界从轮台的地望、军政与经济发展、文学三方面展开研究,奠定了现今轮台研究的基本格局。轮台研究仍存在同质化成果较多、研究视角单一、新材料利用不充分等问题,深化研究领域、开拓研究视野与挖掘新材料是当务之急。

Luntai is an important landmark of the Central Plains Dynasty to manage the western regions,and set up garrison in Luntai as early as the Han Dynasty.Luntai of Han Dynasty and Tang Dynasty had the same name in different places.Tang Dynasty inherited the name of“Luntai of the Han Dynasty”and set up Luntai County in the Chuyue tribe of the other part of the West Turkeye,which can be the earliest county established in the core of nomadic groups in the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains in Tang Dynasty.After Luntai County was set up,it quickly developed into the military and political center second only to Tingzhou.The importance of the Luntai has attracted extensive attention from scholars.The academic circle has studied the Luntai from three aspects:landscape,military,political and economic development,and literature,which has laid the basic pattern of the current research.However,there are still many homogeneous results,a single research perspective,insufficient use of new materials and other problems.It is urgent to deepen the research field,expand the research horizon and explore new materials.
