从秦始皇陵考古看中西文化交流(一)

The Cultural Interaction between East and West:From the Perspective of the Archaeological Findings of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang

秦文化中所见到的诸如兵马俑、铜车马、陵墓封土内高台建筑、条形砖、青铜水禽制作工艺、槽型板瓦、茧形壶、石刻等文化因素,不是从中国固有文化中发展演变而来,这些因素可能是通过丝绸之路由西亚传播到东方的,与此同时,秦统一时期,波斯帝国、马其顿帝国时期的政治、经济、文化、法律等制度也传入东土,并对秦始皇帝的改革产生了直接的影响。

Many archaeological findings of the Qin Dynasty were not evolved from the inherent Chinese cultures but inspired by the other cultures which spread from west Asia via the Silk Road. For instance,Terra cotta warriors,bronze chariots and horses,high - platform buildings in mausoleum,lath bricks,craftsmanship of bronze waterfowls,trough type tiles,elliptical pots and stone inscriptions,to name just a few. Furthermore, the regulations and laws in politics,economy and culture of the Persian Empire and Macedonian Empire were also brought to the east with these materials. It is the whole system that inspired the revolution of Qin Shi Huang significantly.
