“和亲”政策与汉代“丝绸之路”的开通

The Early Opening of “Silk Road” and the Policy of “Peace-through-Marriage”

中国在汉代丝绸之路的开辟中,曾实行过著名的"和亲"政策。在与当时的外部邻居——匈奴和西域的交往中,同样的"和亲"政策却导致了不同的后果。对匈奴地区,汉代的"和亲"主要起到边境维和及经济、文化交流的作用,最终达到南北朝时期中华民族大融合。这一实践结果应是汉武帝及汉代诸皇帝始料未及的。对西域,汉武帝的初意只想形成遏制匈奴扰边的联盟,其结果却由张骞通西域形成经济上的陆上丝绸之路交通线。由此,打开了东西方两半球的国际商贸、文化交流线。汉朝与匈奴和西域的交往,使汉武帝及其后来人认识到在国际关系相处中经济、文化的交流与互通才是推动历史前进的真正动力。

During the opening of the Silk Road in the Han Dynasty,the＂Peace-through-Marriage＂policy has been adopted by China. In the contact with the external neighbors such as Hun and the western regions at that time,the＂Peace-through-Marriage＂led to different consequences. For the Hun region,it played an important role in the border peacekeeping,and in economic and cultural communication of Hun,and finally achieved the great fusion of the Northern and Southern Dynasties,which should have been unexpected by Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty and emperors of Han Dynasty. In the western region,the first intention of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty was to establish an alliance to contain the Hun＇s disturbance. However,Zhang Qian traveled to the Western and formed the economic line of land Silk Road.Thus,the international trade and cultural communication line between the two hemispheres of the East and the West has been opened,which made the Emperor Wu and those who came later realized that economic and cultural communication and exchanges in the process of international relations are the real motive force to push forward the history.
