茶马古道20年 从学术概念到文化符号

From Academic Concepts to Cultural Symbols,a Review of the Tea Horse Road over the Past 20 Years

从1990年六位青年学者通过考察提出茶马古道的概念,在不到20年的时间里,"茶马古道"已经从一个纯粹的学术概念,发展为一股大众流行文化符号,再变成一个庞大的文化产业品牌,拉动了区域经济的产业化。并受到国家及沿线各省文化遗产管理部门的关注。今天的"茶马古道"已经变成了西南地区乃至全国妇孺皆知的符号资源和文化遗产。恐怕这也是当初归纳出这一概念的六位学者所始料不及的。

Since 1990,Mu Ji Hong and the other five young scholars put forward the concept of'Tea Horse Road'.In less than 20 years,the'Tea Horse Road'has grown from a purely academic concept into a popular culture symbol,and then into a massive culture-industry brand,boosting the regional economy of industrialization and attracting the attention of the national and provincial cultural heritage management departments.Today the'Tea Horse Road'has become the symbol of Southwest region and even the whole nation,known to everyone, which may be quite unexpected by the'Scholar of Six'.
