西北丝绸之路文化与跨国民族文学研究

The Silk Road Culture in Northwest China and Transnational Ethnic Literature

"丝绸之路"系指自古迄今分布在中国西北、西南与东北版图中与周边国家与地区发生经济、文化关系的一些主要的国际通道。原来习惯称其为玉石之路、陶瓷之路、香料之路、茶马古道、唐蕃古道、藏彝走廊、五尺道、海上航道、欧亚大陆桥等。在现当代学术界,借用德国地理学家李希霍芬的理论而统称为"丝绸之路"。自2006年起,随着我国西部各省份与中亚、南亚、西亚一些国家联合申报世界自然与文化遗产,中国西北地区的此条道路不断在增加国际知名度与学术含金量。对此巨量的丝绸之路文化遗产进行广泛、深入的发掘、搜集、整理,逐步构建宏阔、博大的中国特色的"丝绸之路学",必须要顾及这里众多的跨国民族传统文学的研究与探讨。

The Silk Road,which was fist coined by a German called Richthofen,has been used in defining the important transnational passage across the northwest,southwest,and northeast parts of China,which has served to connect China and the neighboring countries in trade and cultural exchange.The name evolved from the Jade Road,the China Road,the Spices Road,the Tang-Tibet Passage,Tibet-Yi Corridor,Wu chi Passage,the Sea Route and the Eurasian Route.Launched in 2006 by some provinces in Western China,together with some countries in Central Asia,South Asia,and West Asia,the application for the inclusion of the Silk Road on the World Natural and Cultural Heritage list has been drawing significant attention in international academic circles.The traditional transnational ethnic literature should be studied and explored extensively and collated to begin a quality study of the Silk Road with Chinese characteristics.
