古代丝绸之路谣谚述论

On the Ancient Silk Road Ballads and Proverbs

古代丝绸之路谣谚在复杂多元的地理、政治、商业、文化等环境中生成,主要由胡商、士兵、宗教人士、士人等主体进行传播,从中能够反映古代丝绸之路上的自然名物、社会民情、政治趋势、战争冲突等多元化内容;因为古人没有“丝绸之路”的概念,所以,也就没有集中归类,而是分散记录在正史、笔记史料、诗歌总集、谣谚总集等文献之中。

The complex and diverse geographical,political,commercial and cultural environment of the ancient Silk Road generated the unique proverbs,which were mainly spread by Hu merchants,soldiers,religious persons,scholars.They can reflect the diversified contents on the ancient Silk Road,such as natural products,social customs,political trends,war conflicts and so on.The ancients did not have the concept of“Silk Road”,so they are recorded in official history,notes,poems and proverbs without classification.
