略论清代西北陆路丝绸之路兴盛中的民族文化交流

On the Nationality Cultural Exchange in the Prosperity of the Land Silk Road in Northwest of China in Qing Dynasty

一般认为唐代中期以后,随着海上丝绸之路的日益繁荣,西北陆路丝绸之路遂由盛而衰,这条曾经辉煌一时的重要对外交往通道随之淡出人们的视野,尤其关于清代西北陆路丝绸之路,大多相关论著略而不论。其实,通过西北陆路丝绸之路,清代中原地区与西北边疆民族地区文化交流的影响与之前相比有过之而无不及,诸如地名、戏剧、信仰、语言等方面的文化交流几乎影响到每一位普通民众,可以说西北陆路丝绸之路在清代也很兴盛。

According to the general views, after the mid-Tang Dynasty, along with the prosperity of the Sea Silk Road, the Land Silk Road in northwest of China, a passageway which had played an important role in historical contacting with other countries, gradually declined and faded out from people＇s sight. Most silk road related works and articles didn＇t go to the further discussion about the Land Silk Road in northwest of China in Qing Dynasty. Actually, because of the Land Silk Road in northwest of China, the cultural exchange between central plains and minority frontier areas in northwest of China was more influential than all previous periods. The cultural exchange in toponym, drama, belief and language influenced most of the people at that time, it shows that the Land Silk Road in northwest of China was prosperous in Qing dynasty.
