摘要
公元前122年，张骞出使西域归来，称自己在大夏国（今阿富汗）见到了蜀布、邛竹杖，由此断定中国西南有一条通往域外的古道。而其时，成都平原的蜀山氏早巳用她的温柔之手驯化了野蚕，创造出巧夺天工的丝绸，可见这条上古商道至少在张簿时代已经开通．甚至是繁华一派了。
In 122 B.C. when Zhang Qian, an imperial envoy of Han Dynasty, came back from Xiyu （Western Regions）, he suggested that he had seen cloth and bamboo canes made by Shu people, and hence concluded that there was an outbound path in southwest China. Actually at that time, Shu people had tamed the wild silkworms and produced superb silk. There- fore, this trade path had been thriving in the Han Dynasty at the latest.
