20世纪初,斯坦因来新疆考察时携走一块绘有传蚕种至和阗的“东国公主”木板画这一传说,玄奘在《大唐西域记》中有所记载,中外学者们时此十分关注。一说为中原公主,一说为汉朝公主,一说为邻国公主,莫衷一是。本文经诸多方面的考辨,认为应是高昌公主。

At the beginning of 19th century, Stein came to Xinjiang to make an on the spot investigation, then he brought a wood which drew the picture on which Princess Dongguo brought silkworms to Hetian. It is recorded in the Chronicle of West Region in Tang Dynasty. Scholars all over the world pay attention to Princess Dongguo. One is to call her Princess Zhongyuan( Central Plains); One is to call her Princess Lin-guo( neighboring country); Another is to call her Princess Loulan but there is no consensus of opinion. As a result of textual research, the author thinks she should be called Princess Gaochang who lived in the 5th century.
