丝绸之路出土的少数民族文字文献与东西方文化交流

On the Silk Road Manuscripts in the Documents of Ethnic Minorities and Cultural Exchanges between East and West

古丝绸之路上很多民族有自己的语言和文字,并形成了大量文献,是真实记录历史的第一手资料,展示出丝绸之路形成和发展的历程,反映了各民族对发展丝绸之路的贡献。丝绸之路造就了各民族的文化大师,他们为发展丝绸之路文化、促进民族文化交流做出了巨大贡献。展现了丝绸之路是各民族共同开辟的贸易交往和文化交流通道及丝绸之路多民族、多语言、多文种、多宗教现象,促进了东西方文化大交流;同时也显示出这一带文化交流中民族融合、语言消亡、文字灭寂、宗教转换现象,体现出中国境内各民族文化的本土化趋向,形成相互间密不可分的关系。

The languages of many ethnic minorities that were active along the ancient Silk Road have been preserved in historical documents,the contents of which provide an abundance of first-hand historical research material.These records reflect the historical formation and development of the ancient Silk Road,as well as the contributions made by each ethnic group to the development of the Silk Road.The Silk Road also shaped many cultural figures important to each ethnic group,artists and thinkers who contributed greatly to the culture of the Silk Road and advanced the cultural exchanges between East and West.At the same time,these documents also indicate the blending of various peoples,the vanishing of languages,the extinction of written scripts,and the conversion of religions that resulted from these cultural exchanges.These documents reflect both the diversity of the Silk Road and the tendency toward localization experienced by each ethnic culture,as well as the indivisible relationships between various ethnic groups.
