中巴文化交流史研究路径探析——以巴基斯坦拉合尔博物馆为例

A Case Study of China and Pakistan Cultural Exchange History:Lahore Museum

在当今世界巨变之大格局下,中国和巴基斯坦全天候战略合作伙伴关系的持续稳固更显重要。目前国内中巴关系相关研究中的文化交流研究是短板,尤其欠缺对古代和近代历史上发生在中巴两地间的各种文化交流的研究。巴基斯坦北部地区和北部旁遮普地区曾是古代陆上丝绸之路南线上的重要节点,与古代和近代中国经历过频繁的商贸关系和文化交流。基于南亚地区与中国的书史传统之不同,在中巴文化交流历史研究领域的资源开发上,建议挖掘书写文献以外的其他形式的研究资料,比如考古出土文物与博物馆收藏等。本文以巴基斯坦拉合尔博物馆为中巴文化交流史研究的切入点,考察巴基斯坦博物馆的收藏与中巴文化交流历史之关联,分析拉合尔博物馆的中国文物收藏及其相关研究,阐释拉合尔博物馆工作中所表现出来的中国历史文化情怀。又鉴于目前中巴文化交流研究的散碎现状,建议尝试搭建单独的中巴文化交流研究构架,探索中巴文化交流史研究的更多可行路径。

The Northern Area and the northern Punjab of Pakistan were important nodes on the southern line of the ancient Silk Road and in this region Pakistan and China experienced frequent commercial and cultural exchanges.However,quite limited studies have been conducted on the history of China and Pakistan cultural exchanges in ancient and early-modern period,while the existent China and Pakistan cultural exchange studies by Chinese academia focus on the period of modern nations.Chinese scholarship on the ancient China and Pakistan cultural exchanges mostly draws on Chinese dynasty chronicles and written work by eminent Buddhist monks.Therefore,it is recommended to explore other forms of research materials such as archaeological artifacts and museum collections for China and Pakistan cultural exchange studies.Lahore Museum may serve the purpose.The paper examines the links between Pakistani museums and the history of China and Pakistan cultural exchanges,analyzes the collection of Chinese cultural relics in Lahore Museum and related research and interprets the Chinese historical and cultural awareness shown in the routine work of the Museum.In view of the current fragmented research work on the history of China-Pakistan cultural exchanges,it may be considered to attempt the construction of a separate China-Pakistan cultural exchange research framework and explore more feasible paths for the study of China-Pakistan cultural exchange history.
