伏尔加河流域土尔扈特蒙古进藏朝拜活动考述

A Study of Torghut Mongols' Pilgrimage to Tibet from the Volga Valley

本文结合蒙、藏、汉、俄等文献资料,详细考述了西迁至伏尔加河流域土尔扈特蒙古的遣使进藏朝拜活动。认为历代土尔扈特蒙古汗王持续不断的遣使进藏活动,客观上成为了远离故土的土尔扈特蒙古与中国之间联系的一种有效途径。这种进藏使团的来往,除宗教信仰的因素外,更是一种民族亲缘关系的继续,成为后来土尔扈特蒙古选择返回中国的一个重要因素。

Based on the documents of Mongol,Tibet,Chinese and Russia,the paper carefully studies Torghut Mongols' pilgrimage to Tibet after they moved westward to the Volga valley and gives a detailed account.The paper argues that the successive pilgrimage to Tibet sent by various Mongol Khans of Torghut tribe objectively became an effective way to maintain the link between China and Torghut Mongols far from the motherland.These pilgrimages to Tibet were not only driven by religious factor,furthermore,they continued the relationship between Torghut and other people in China and played an important role as Torghut decided to return China.
