渤海国与唐朝朝贡研究

Research on Tributes of the Bohai Vassal State and Tang Dynasty

朝贡是双方以物品或其他方式进行财富交换的一种特殊的交往方式。中国朝贡自古有之,费正清先生称其为“中国的世界秩序”。朝贡关系实则是一种经济、文化等因素互相交杂在一起的复合关系,朝贡频率的高低、朝贡关系的疏离或密切,正是中国古代社会政治、经济、文化及社会关系的体现。唐是中国历史上一个繁盛的王朝,与周边王朝和少数民族藩属国往来密切,唐与渤海国的朝贡研究不仅体现中原王朝与少数民族政权的交往,更反映出中原唐王朝所在时段内整个社会的历史背景。

Tributary system is a special way of communication in which both parties exchange wealth in goods or other ways.Tributes have existed in China since ancient times. Mr Fairbank called it "China’s world order". Tributary relationship is actually a kind of compound relationship where economic and cultural factors mix together. The frequency of paying tributes and the estrangement or closeness of the tributary relationship shows the political, economic, cultural and social relations in ancient China.Tang Dynasty was a prosperous dynasty in Chinese history with close contacts with neighboring dynasties and ethnic minority vassal states. The tributary research of Tang Dynasty and Bohai vassal state not only reflects the communication between the Central Plains dynasty and ethnic minority regimes, but also reflects the historical background of the whole society in the period of the Central Plains Tang Dynasty.
