13-14世纪往来于元越的使臣、商贾和艺人

Envoys,Merchants and Artists Traveling Mongolia,China and Vietnam in the13th and 14th Century

13世纪是蒙古人的世纪。其扩张大大改变了东亚大陆的面貌,使海上“丝绸之路”与陆上“丝绸之路”得到全面贯通,促进了人员流动的便利。尤其是在元、越之间往来的使臣、商贾和艺人,关于他们的故事,代表了这个百年史中比较柔软的一面,表现出战争年代人们对于“生”的渴望。在使臣那里,能看到大量关于和平、建设、友情的文学描写;在商贾那里,能看到人们对于科学与文明的尊重;在艺人那里,能看到人类对再现自己、表现自己之能力的探求。正是这三种人改变了包括越南在内的东方文明史。

The 13th century is the century of the Mongols.Its expansion has greatly changed the mobility of the East Asian continent,fully connecting the maritime"Silk Road"and the land-based"Silk Road"and facilitating the flow of people.Especially the stories about the envoys,merchants and artists who traveled Mongolia,China and Vietnam represent the softer side of this century-old history and show people's desire for"life"in the wartime.For envoys,one can see a lot of literary descriptions about peace,construction and friendship;For merchants,one can see people's respect for science and civilization;For artists,one can see human beings'pursuit of the ability to represent themselves and express themselves.It is these three kinds of people who changed the history of Eastern civilization,including Vietnam.
