两汉丝绸之路交通数据集

Traffic data of the Silk Road in the Han dynasty

本文以谷歌地球(Google Earth)提供的高清晰度卫星图片为基础,通过对历史文献、考古成果、今人研究等资料的梳理尽可能地实现对两汉时期沙漠绿洲丝绸之路主要交通点的精确地理定位,进而根据地形地貌特征复原这一时期丝绸之路的主要线路走向,最终形成包括交通点、交通线在内的两汉丝绸之路交通数据集。作为丝绸之路交通商贸数据集的组成部分,这一工作有助于历史时期丝路路线变迁研究的开展,同时为探讨两汉丝路沿线的文化交流、商贸往来和民族迁徙等课题提供更精确的依据。

Based on the high-definition satellite images provided by Google Earth,as well as collated historical documents,archaeological achievements and contemporary research,this study tried to identify the accurate location of major traffic nodes of the Desert-Oasis Silk Road in the Han dynasty.Then with the help of geomorphic characteristics,we restored major traffic lines,and built the traffic data set of the Silk Road in the Han dynasty that contains information on traffic nodes and traffic lines.As part of the Silk Road traffic and business dataset,this work is helpful to studies on the changes of the Silk Road route during this particular historical period.It also provides an accurate statistical basis for studies of cultural communications,business contacts,and ethnic migration along the Silk Road in the Han dynasty.
