天山廊道在唐朝东西交通和中外交流地位研究

A Study on the Status of the Tien Shan Corridor in East-West Traffic and Chinese-Foreign Exchanges in the Tang Dynasty

天山廊道是指以天山山脉走向为依托所形成的交通路网。唐朝充分利用了天山南北山麓的外部廊道,保障丝绸之路东西交通畅达。同时,唐朝重视沟通天山南北的内部廊道作用,在东天山廊道设置伊州、西州和庭州,使得东天山成为三州商贸往来的要道;通过中天山廊道将焉耆、龟兹与天山北麓、弓月城联系起来,加强对西域地区的交通往来。交通四方的天山外部廊道、沟通南北沙漠和草原绿洲的内部廊道,共同构成了唐朝经营西域和对外交往的交通路网。唐朝将中原对西域的治理从塔里木盆地推向准噶尔盆地、楚河流域和河中地区,体现了唐朝与欧亚大陆不同族群和文明之间频繁交往交流的融汇态势。天山廊道在唐朝东西交通和对外交往中,发挥了道路方向标和文明载体的重要作用。

The Tang Dynasty made full use of the external corridors at the southern and northern foothills of the Tien Shan Mountains to ensure smooth traffic on the Silk Road from east to west. At the same time, the Tang Dynasty attached great importance to the role of internal corridors connecting the north and south of Tien Shan Mountain, so that the three states in the East Tien Shan Mountain had close contacts, and the transportation between Agni and Kuci in the Middle Tien Shan Mountain and the northern foot of Tien Shan Mountain, Gongyue City was convenient, and trade was frequent.
