9—13世纪朝鲜半岛大食蕃商行迹钩沉

A New Probe into These Traces of Ancient Arabian Trade Caravan on the Korean Peninsula(9th-13th Century)

阿拉伯文献表明,约公元9世纪末大食商旅或已进入朝鲜半岛进行贸易活动。从《苏莱曼游记》、伊本·胡尔达兹比赫《道里邦国志》,到马苏第《黄金草原》和扎卡里雅·卡兹维尼《世界奇异物与珍品志》等阿拉伯文献,均有关于新罗及朝鲜半岛的记载。而高丽文献在11世纪亦有大食赴朝鲜半岛进献方物的载录,加之相关中国文献的类推与出土实物的互证,或可为学界就9—13世纪大食商旅于东亚海域的贸易活动提供新的认识。

Arabic documents indicate that ancient Arabian trade caravan may have entered the Korean Peninsula for trade around the 9th century AD.Whether“Arabic Classical Accounts of India and China”and Ibn Khordadbeh The Book of Itineraries and Kingdoms,or Al-Mas‘ūdīThe Meadows of Gold and Mines of Gems and Zakariya al-Qazwini Marvels of Creatures and Strange Things Existing,all of the above Arabic books have recorded Silla and Korean Peninsula related content.What’s more,some historical documents of Koryo also recorded ancient Arabs trading on the Korean peninsula in the 11th century.And then,by means of the analogy of relevant historical documents and the mutual evidence of unearthed objects,this article may provide new insights into the trade activities of ancient Arabs in the East seas from the 9th to 13th centuries.
