交融与传播:入华粟特人在希腊化文化东传中的媒介作用

Fusion and Transmission:A Study of the Role of the Sogdians in Spreading Hellenistic CulturetotheEast

粟特今属乌兹别克斯坦和塔吉克斯坦一带,这两国是“一带一路”沿线的重要国家。在历史上,粟特是丝绸之路上东西方贸易的枢纽地区之一,承担着希腊、罗马、伊朗、印度和中国之间往来的中转站角色。从传播考古学的角度看,粟特人一定程度上充当了东西方文化交流和传播的“媒介人物”的职能。就希腊化文化元素而言,随着亚历山大及其部将的东征,希腊化文化随之传入粟特,并在当地不断得以延续与融合。在我国境内出土的与粟特人有关的墓葬、金银器、钱币以及粟特文资料都呈现了以粟特人为媒介的东西方文化交融和传播。

Sogdiana is a region located in Uzbekistan and Tajikistan,which are significant countries along the"Belt and Road".It served as a crucial connecting point for trade between the East and the West on the Silk Road,facilitating the cultural exchange between Greece,Rome,Iran,India,and China.Through transmission archaeology,the Sogdians played a crucial role as mediators in this exchange.Hellenistic culture was introduced into Sogdiana via the Greek-Macedonians'eastward expedition and was characterized by its integration with the local culture.The tombs,gold and silver vessels,coins,and texts discovered in China reveal the fusion and transmission of Eastern and Western cultures facilitated by the Sogdians.
