波斯庄问题质疑——与蒋华先生商榷

Some Different Thoughts on the History of Bosi Zhuang(Persian Village)——In Consultation with Mr.JIANG Hua

近年来,波斯庄历史成为伊朗学者关注的问题。根据古代文献、考古资料和实地考察,笔者认为唐代来华波斯商人大多并不是来自波斯本土真正的波斯人,而是来自中亚的东伊朗语居民。波斯庄不可能是唐代波斯商人登岸聚居和经商之地。波斯庄佴姓也不是波斯侨民后裔。尽管人们对波斯庄名的起源有各种不同的解释,但它与波斯本土没有任何直接的联系。

History of Bosi Zhuang of Yang Zhou is a very interesting problem for us. According to the literature of the middle ages, excavated materials and fact findings, I judge that the Persian merchants who came to China in the Tang dynasty weren't true Persians from the Persian homeland, but eastern Iranians from central Asia. Bosi Zhuang isn't the place where Persian merchants landed,lived and traded.The Nai (佴) family of Bosi Zhuang were not the descendants from the Persian immigrants.Although the origin of the name of Bosi Zhuang may be explained in various ways,the Persian homeland doesn't bear direct relation to the village.
