略论敦煌吐鲁番出土的东晋南朝文献

On the Dunhuang and Turfan Manuscripts of the Eastern Jin and Southern Dynasties

敦煌、吐鲁番出土了一批东晋、南朝时期的文献,它们大多为佛经,也有道经,以及儒家典籍、书札,其中佛道写经的发愿文题记均有纪年,且含有丰富的历史信息,学术价值极高。从发愿文题记可知,这些东晋、南朝文献大多抄写于南方,通过当时东南与西北之间的交通渠道,最终流入到敦煌、吐鲁番等西北地区。这一情况证实:在东晋十六国南北朝时期,西北与东南之间存在着交通往来以及宗教文化交流。

A number of manuscripts of the Eastern Jin and Southern Dynasties were discovered in Dunhang and Turpan.Most were Buddhist scriptures while a few were Taoist scriptures,Confucian Classics and Letters.The commemoration inscriptions,attached at the Taoist and Buddhist scriptures with the era and rich historical information,boasted great academic value and reflected that most manuscripts,copied in the south,flowed into Dunhuang and Turpan through the traffic route between the Northwest and the Southeast.These information revealed that religious cultural exchanges and communications between the Northwest and the Southeast regions in the Eastern Jin,Sixteen Kingdoms,and Southern and Northern Dynasties.
