岑参赴安西路途考证

Verifications of Cen Shen's Journey to Anxi

唐代著名诗人岑参以边塞诗名世,从文学史的角度结合岑参诗作描述岑参西域经历的论述颇多,但分歧亦大,尤以首赴安西路途为最。运用当今学界对唐代西域之政治、军事、商贸、地理、交通及出土文物的研究成果,基本可以说明,岑参首途安西出瓜州后,按常理应该不走丝路南道,不到敦煌,亦不过阳关,而是径由玉门关,走最安全、通畅之丝路中道。

Cen Shen, the well-known poet of the Tang Dynasty, was famous for his frontier poems. There have been plentiful expositions about his experiences in Western Region from the perspective of literary history, but there are considerable differences. The biggest different expositions exist on his journey to Anxi. The present research results of the politics, military, trade, geography, traffic and unearthed relics in the Tang Dynasty may prove that Cen Shen went to Anxi via Guazhou, the South Silk Road, Dunhuang and Yangguan instead of the safest middle Silk Road.
