2、他們對中國絲綢的需求日益增加。中國絲綢是怎樣到達羅馬市場的？普林尼在他《自然史》一書中指出，中國絲綢首先被從陸運或船運至印度。隨后，印度商人把他們帶到了西部。</p><p><b>　　3.1路線</b></p><p>　　在張騫出使西域之前，古印度孔雀王朝的大臣寫了一本書叫政治評論，這本書描述了一個事實，在公元前4世紀，中國絲綢出口到印度，然后由印度商人運到希臘

3、和羅馬。中國絲綢傳入印度通過了西北地區(qū)的絲綢之路，即西部絲綢之路的南部部分地區(qū),后分為兩條路徑傳遞皮沙縣和莎車。然后，他們被運往往西到月氏族和巴克特里亞，然后朝西南至玄都 （現(xiàn)在麗爾在巴基斯坦）和罽賓（現(xiàn)在在阿富汗喀布爾） ，向南到印度河口河（現(xiàn)在在巴基斯坦的卡拉奇） ，最后到波斯和羅馬乘船。然而，這條路線是漫長而艱難的。這條航線上的中印貿易是不頻繁的。 “雖然路線上的城市有很好的的市場，商家團隊卻要花費數(shù)年的時間。 ”直到大約公元3?

4、4世紀，印度商人團隊選擇了另一個艱難的，但更短的路線，這條路線跨越印度河和喀喇昆侖山脈的山谷，通往喀什，莎車，和和田。一位印度學者巴什指出：“與中國的貿易最早出現(xiàn)在張騫的時代。張騫提到了布魯馬路，并注意到印度商人從中國西南部運往印度的商品。 “事實是，張騫看到了來自中國的兩件商品，在西昌（今四川）制造的竹簽和在四川制造的亞麻織物，當?shù)厝嗣褡鞒霰硎?，這些商品被運往印度商人。</p><p>　　有人說，這些貨物是通

5、過西南永昌路運往印度。整個永昌路線包括兩個部分：第一是從陜西至四川段從長安到成都，第二是成都至印度部分從成都到印度。第一部分從長安開始， 經過秦嶺，陳倉古道，褒斜道，金牛路，劍閣到成都。第二部分從成都開始， 路經牦牛路， 邛都（現(xiàn)在四川西昌） ，金沙江，永昌縣（今天在云南省保山的東北） ，怒江，越城（現(xiàn)在的云南省瀘西） ，國彪（在今緬甸） ，并達印度卡在。竹簽和布可以通過這些路徑被運往印度。我不認為中國的絲綢已通過這種方式到達印度。永昌

6、路并非是一條“絲綢之路” 。當時，大多數(shù)的絲綢生產是在河北和山東省，然后匯聚在首都長安。張騫在巴克特里亞所看到的竹簽和布是在四川生產的，不需要通過永昌路線的第一部分。在長安的絲綢是不可能通過永昌路的第一部分運輸?shù)摹Ｔ跂|漢時期，直到永平12年（公元69年），皇帝設立了永昌縣，陜西-四川段可以與成都-印度段部分被連接。但是，正如我們所知，永昌路的第一部分是世界上最艱難的道路。唐代的大詩人，李白（公元701年-762年） ，在他的詩中描述道：

7、“噫吁嚱, 危乎高哉! 蜀道之難, 難于上青天! ”因此，在張騫的時代，中國的絲綢不可能從中國的西南</p><p>　　我們說在張騫出使西域之前和之后很久，中國絲綢并不是通過陸運運到印度的。我們從漢族歷史書中發(fā)現(xiàn)了一些證據(jù)，漢皇家特使將黃金和絲綢帶到了南海附近的海岸。當時，在印度南部的港口收集和分發(fā)來自中國的絲綢和其他商品。到達這些港口后，絲綢將由印度商人通過紅海被運到羅

8、馬。因此，海上航線是為中國絲綢通過印度，然后運到羅馬的主要方法。</p><p><b>　　3.2中間人</b></p><p>　　印度是海上絲綢貿易過境國中的一個。那么在貿易中誰是土地中間人？肯定是匈奴統(tǒng)治期間天山北部地區(qū)的西部王朝，沒有辦法讓交易者通過義烏（哈密，現(xiàn)在的新疆維吾爾族自治區(qū)） 。南西北土地絲綢之路的路線是??貿易商從西漢至西域的唯一途徑。樓蘭（樓

9、蘭）成為絲綢貿易的主要中轉站。中國絲綢從樓蘭運到波斯，然后到羅馬。當張騫帶著特使們經由大園，康居，月氏族，巴克特里亞，安溪，天竺，于闐，和五逆回到長安時，這些地區(qū)開始與漢朝直接交易產品。隨后，他們將中國絲綢賣給羅馬。在絲綢貿易最中間的商人來自安溪。在“中后漢書·藝文志” “西域史”中記載： “國王常常希望派遣特使到漢朝,但安溪的商人想要壟斷中國絲綢。 ”甘英，東漢的特使，在公元97年授命前往羅馬，當他趕到里海海岸時，他聽到 ：

10、“大海是巨大的。幸運的話，人們可以在三個月內通過它。如果遇到強風，可能花費兩年。于是人們就準備了三年的食物。有時候人們只是由于長時間的海上旅行而死于思鄉(xiāng)。”一些研究人員認為，當?shù)厝烁嬖V甘英的外交使團大海如此難以跨越是為了絲綢中產與羅馬的貿易。甘應考慮了時間和風險,并最終放棄了去羅馬的計劃。他回到了洛陽。因此，延遲了中國與羅馬之間的絲綢</p><p><b>　　3.3利潤</b></

11、p><p>　　經過長途運輸，并通過幾個交易員，中國絲綢是貴如金。有人說，一匹中國絲綢值12梁（中國古代貨幣單位，16梁相當于半公斤）黃金。據(jù)普林尼在他的《自然史》中的估計，羅馬每年由于貿易損失至少一億金幣到印度，中國和阿拉伯半島。據(jù)羅馬歷史文件，絲綢的進口價值1億羅馬金幣。在漢代，漢武帝鼓勵貿易，并提出政策，以高價進口和低價出口，使用高利潤刺激西域，中亞和西亞的商人參與到中西貿易。羅馬的黃金完全沒有來中國。安溪和羅

12、馬的交易員賺很多。在羅馬，當?shù)氐纳倘送ㄟ^與安溪和印度的海上貿易賺取了十倍的利潤。</p><p>　　豐厚的利潤，像一塊磁鐵，吸引了來自中亞和西亞的商人。他們中間的特使來到了中原。由于張騫的特使團從西域回來，許多來自不同地區(qū)的商人以進貢的名義加入到絲綢貿易。 “該交易商在絲綢貢獻的名稱。 ”在東漢曹國偉訪問了西域后，來自五十多個國家的商人參加了絲綢貿易。他們日以繼夜的來來往往。根據(jù)一系列的西部地區(qū)的探索，奧萊爾斯

13、坦因考古學家發(fā)現(xiàn)了竹簡外語（粟特文，佉盧文，梵文） ，裝飾面料，并從考古遺址中發(fā)現(xiàn)了來自新疆和甘肅西部的地毯圖案拖鞋。顯然，沿著從中原到西域的道路，中亞商人留下了很多東西。</p><p>　　3.4面料和技術的交換</p><p>　　除了賺取黃金，漢代商人還用絲綢交換各種羊毛制品。在一封曹國偉他弟弟給他的信中寫道， “我們計劃用三百匹白色絲綢與西域進行交易 ”一首名為“旅游隴西”的古詩

14、中說： “邀請客人進北房間，并要求他們坐在地毯上“ 。隴西地處中部平原西北部，這首詩告訴人們使用的地毯可能是從西域交換來的。奧萊爾斯坦因測驗了從塔里木盆地漢墓中出土的精致的地毯碎片，并得出結論認為地毯上的無疑是羅馬的字符。無論他們是本地生產或從中亞進口，它證明了文化的力量。因此，它證明不僅羊毛制品來自古希臘和古羅馬，而且在塔里木盆地的人們學會了制造生產羊毛制品的技術和模式。</p><p><b>　　

15、4 .結論</b></p><p>　　首先，關于絲綢貿易存在的時間，作為學者的共識，中西方的絲綢貿易存在于張騫出使西域前，在他的兩個任務之后，絲綢之路更加的順暢和繁榮。從漢代到唐代，中國和西方的絲綢貿易前11世紀主要依靠陸路交通。其次，在古時候，西域，作為必要的陸路運輸絲綢貿易的通道，總是被強大的北方游牧部落或中原王朝所占據(jù)。在漢代，匈奴人和漢族競爭著絲綢之路。第三，中國和西方的絲綢貿易不是一站式運

16、行。它取決于許多中間商和中繼站。中西絲綢貿易的絲綢之路并不是中國單相輸出絲綢，而是一個相互交換不同商品的過程。最后，中西絲綢貿易的聯(lián)系在他們之間造成了一種關系，即交換物質文化，絲綢，羊毛編織，甚至植物。隨著生產的來臨，技術已在新的區(qū)域內傳播。西爾克曾在人類社會的發(fā)展中發(fā)揮了重要作用。絲綢的長期貿易關系推動了一些社會改變,羅馬人使用絲綢但是黃金干涸,帕提亞人有錢,中國絲綢得到推廣等。傳播技術比人與人或名族與名族或國家與國家建立關系更簡單。

17、人與人之間的關系在人類歷史已經呈現(xiàn)了顯著的意義。在漢代的絲綢貿易,社會關系使長途絲綢貿易成為可能。不同的人會創(chuàng)造不同的文化。但是，跨文化交換需要社會關系。社會性始終是人類的天性，文化是讓人們知道如</p><p><b>　　附件2：外文原文</b></p><p>　　The Cultural Exchange between Sino-Western: Silk

45、;<p><b>　　3.1 Route</b></p><p>　　Before Qian Zhang’s mission to Western Regions, a minister of the ancient India Dynasty of Peacock wrote a book named Political Comments , which described

46、the fact in 4th century B.C. that Chinese silk was exported to India and then shipped to Greece and Rome by Indian merchants. Chinese silk to India passed the north-west land Silk Road, namely the southern section of Sil

47、k Road in Western Regions, which was divided into two paths after passing Pishan and Shache. Then they were transported towar</p><p>　　It was said that these goods were shipped via the southwest Yongchang ro

50、<p>　　We say that before and long after Qian Zhang’s mission to Western Regions, Chinese silk was not transported via land roads to India. As some evidences we found from the documents of the Han history books that

51、the Han royal envoys had taken gold and silk to countries near the south sea by the coast. At that time, harbors in the south of India were places for gathering and distributing silk and other commodities from China. Aft
