斯坦因中亚考察报告中的帕米尔研究资料述评

A Review of Research Data on the Pamir Region from Marc Aurel Stein’s Reports of Explorations in Central Asia

斯坦因在前三次中亚考察详尽报告书中都对帕米尔地区的地理、历史、人种、古迹等进行了记述和研究,这些研究资料的价值主要有三:一是关于古帕米尔地区多元文化交流的阐述为研究帕米尔问题提供了独特视角;二是为继续挖掘英、俄在帕米尔的勘察档案提供了线索;三是可依据有关帕米尔居民的人种、族源、语言、性格、体貌特征的描述,探讨该地区居民对民族国家及其自身身份的认同。但应注意,斯坦因在考察报告中将英国、俄国私自划分的帕米尔领土界限视为中国、英属印度、俄国、阿富汗的国界线,抹去了帝国主义侵略色彩。

In his first three detailed reports of explorations in central Asia,Marc Aurel Stein describes and studies the geography,history,ethnic groups and historical sites of the Pamir region.The value of these three reports mainly includes three aspects:First,the elaboration of the ancient Pamir region’s multicultural communication provides a unique perspective for the study of Pamir.Secondly,it is essential to continue searching for British and Russian survey files on Pamir on the basis of the three detailed reports.Thirdly,Stein’s detailed description of the ethnic origin,ethnic origin,language,character,and physical features of residents in the Pamir region can be used to explore the residents’national identity and self-identity.Nevertheless,in his detailed reports,the boundary of the Pamir territories as classified by the United Kingdom and Russia was regarded as the border between China,British India,Russia,and Afghanistan,erasing the fact of imperialist aggression.Thus,we should be cautious in quoting them.
