“一带一路”国家战略的实施,使丝绸之路沿线国家的历史文化成为新的研究热点。由于长期以来国内学界习惯以“中西交通”的视域来设置相关研究问题,且更多地从中国本土出发,强调物质与知识从东到西的流动。相较而言,对于地中海地区、环阿拉伯海—印度洋地区、西太平洋地区等“他者”视角的重视度不够,所谓的东西交通研究并未能真正地呈现出足够的“世界性”。在此背景下,我们采访了南京大学历史系教授高荣盛先生,请他跳出中国本土视角,从全球视野来谈谈古代海上丝绸之路的多样性与复杂性,以期对目前相关研究有所推动。 The implementation of the “Belt and Road” national strategy has made the history and culture of the countries along the Silk Road a new hot spot for research. Due to the long history of the domestic academic community setting the relevant research issues with the sight of “traffic between China and the West”, and more from the Chinese mainland, emphasizing the flow of material and knowledge from east to west. In contrast, the emphasis on the “other” perspective in the Mediterranean region, the Central Arabian Sea-Indian Ocean region and the Western Pacific region is not enough. The so-called East-West traffic study does not really show enough “cosmopolitanity ”. Against this background, we interviewed Mr. Gao Rongsheng, a professor of history at Nanjing University, asking him to jump out of the Chinese local perspective and talk about the diversity and complexity of the ancient maritime Silk Road from a global perspective in order to promote the current research.
