丝绸之路上粟特的多元宗教文化及其东传

Sogdian Multi-Religious Culture and Its Spreading to the East along the Silk Road

随着丝绸之路规模的不断扩大,位于丝路中段核心地区的粟特成为中国同萨珊波斯、拜占庭和印度之间贸易往来的中转站。多元宗教文化随着粟特商人而东传。无论是琐罗亚斯德教,或者基督教、摩尼教、佛教,都曾传到中亚,并从这里向东方传到中国。这既是丝绸之路发达的重要标志之一,也是粟特的特殊地理、政治、经济和文化等多种因素综合作用的结果。

With the continuously extension of the Silk Road,the Sogdiana located in the middle piece of core areas of the Silk Road turns into one of the transfer stations of commercial contacts between China and Sasanian Persia,Byzantium and even ancient India.The multi-religious culture spread eastwards with the expansion of Sogdian traders.As a matter of fact,many religions are ever spread into Central Asia whatever it is Zoroastrianism,Nestorianism,Manicheism or Buddhism and they are all spread into China from Sogdiana.It is not only one of the most important symbols along the Silk Road,but also the outcome of the combined actions for the special geographical position,political history and multi-facts of economic and cultural factors.
