月氏西迁与张骞西使新论

A New Exposition of Rouzhi Migration to the West and ZHANG Qian Envoying to the Western Regions

传统观念认为,月氏西迁乃张骞西使之原因。实际上,月氏西迁既由游牧民族本身的性格特点决定,又受民族矛盾激化等外部因素的影响。张骞西使作为西汉外交政策的一个重要组成部分,其出现有历史的必然性。月氏西迁和张骞西使之间并无直接的因果关系。

In traditional ideas, the reason that Zhangqian was sent as a special envoy to the western regions was Rouzi's migration to the west. In fact, Rouzhi's migration to the west was influenced by the character of nomadic people, at the same time, affected by the intensification of national contradiction. As one of the important foreign policies of Western Han Dynasty, it was inevitable that Zhangqian was sent to the western regions. There was no direct cause and effect between the two different things.
