对三峡江南入蜀古道的有关认识

Some Understanding on the Three Gorges Ancient Path to Shu at the South of Changjiang River

长江三峡南岸入蜀古道,是除三峡水道外又一入蜀的重要陆路通道。此道东起湖北宜昌市江南点军区姜诗溪口,西至利川市谋道苏拉口,全长500公里,东连着丰饶的荆楚大地,西可通往“天府之国”的川西平原,20世纪70年代修建的318国道路线大致上走的就是三峡南岸的西行入蜀古道。古道始筑于商周时期,沿用于秦汉以后一直到现在。历史上每到朝代更替之际,它都被用作军事通道,而太平盛世之时,它又成为社会经济发展中的交通生命线。在古道上遗留下来的一些遗址、墓葬、窖藏、桥梁、石碑、石板路等各类古文化遗迹向我们叙述着昔日商旅、驿差、军队、部族人群等在古道上往来奔波的繁忙图景。

The Three Gorges ancient path to Shu at the south of Changjiang River used to be another important land channel into Shu besides the Three Gorges sea-route, which began east at the mouth of Jiangshi Xikou, Dianjun at the south of Changjiang River, Yichang of Hubei, and extended west to Moudao Sulakou, Lichuan, with a distance of 500 kilometers. It connects Jingchu mountains and rivers and West Sichuan Plain, the ＂the Kingdom of Heaven＂, and the National Route of 318 built in the 1970s went west just along this path. The ancient path was initially built in the time of Shang and Zhou Dynasties, used during the Qing and Han Dynasties, and up to today. In history, it was always used as a military pass in time of dynasty war fires , while as a communication lifeline in time of prosperity. The sites, mausoleums, caches, bridges, steles, flaggings and other cultural relics vividly depict busy pictures where the businessmen, the postmen as well as the soldiers and tribe crowds are coming and going in a hurry.
