隋倭关系新考——以《异国牒状记》的记载为中心

Fresh Investigations on Sui-wo Relations——Taking Yi Guo Die Zhang Ji as the focus

《异国牒状记》是围绕古代外国使节来朝奉呈国书时,是否返牒答礼而调查并列举先例旧惯而作成的,是一份尤为重要的外交资料。其中有关隋唐时代中日往来的记载,与国内和日本的史料可以对应,所载内容基本可信。隋倭通交路经朝鲜半岛,较为便利。594年隋朝牒状至日之事,当与佛教在日本的日渐兴起有关,隋倭通交采取的形式是"佛教外交"。

The important diplomatic document of Yi Guo Die Zhang Ji is about whether ancient ambassadors return the official documents when presenting credentials. The record about Sui - wo relations which agrees with both Chinese and Japanese historical documents is convincing. Sui- Wo transportation via Korean island is convenient. Introduction of the official documents to Japan in Sui Dynasty is closely associated with rise of Buddhism in Japan. Sui - Wo diplomatic policy is Buddhism - based.
