丝绸之路上的齐兰古城

Qilan on the Silk Road

文章对新疆柯坪县齐兰古城的历史文献资料进行梳理和研究,认为齐兰在明朝就以聚落出现,而路经齐兰的丝绸之路中道可以上溯到唐代。清代齐兰作为军台在道光八年设置,20世纪20年代废弃,存在约百年之久。柯坪县红砂河上游开垦荒地及齐兰渠得不到有效管理促使水资源短缺是齐兰台废弃的主要原因。

The paper combed and studied the historical literature on the ancient city of Qilan in Keping County of Xinjiang. It was believed that the city of Qilan had been existed as a settlement since the Ming Dynasty and as part of the Silk Road it could be traced back to the Tang Dynasty. Qilan was established as a military post during the reign of Emperor Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty and abandoned in the 1920s, existing for more than hundred years. The main reason for abandoning Qilan Post was over-cultivation of upstream of Hongsha River in Keping County and insufficient management of Qilan ditch which led to water shortage.
