玉帛之路环腾格里沙漠路网考察报告

An Investigation Report of Circum-Tengger-Desert Road Net on Road of Jade Objects and Silk Fabrics

腾格里沙漠中有多条沙漠运盐驼道。随着时代变迁,汽车、火车代替了传统运输方式,也形成新的交通线路,它们有些地段与古代道路重合。腾格里沙漠是游牧文化与农耕文化的交融地区,也是草原丝绸之路、陆上丝绸之路、古道盐道以及黄河水道交错相连的重要路网区,文化意义巨大。

There are a few camel roads for transporting salt in Tengger Desert. As times changed, the traditional transporting modes was replaced by cars and trains, and new transporting lines was also formed, but they coincided with the ancient roads in some sections. It is of great cultural significance for Tengger Desert for not only it is a blending area for nomadic and farming cultures, but also it is an important intersecting road net area for the prairie Silk Road, the land Silk Road, the ancient Salt Road, and waterways on the Yellow River.
