上个世纪初期,德国学者李希托芬(Ferdinandvon Richthofen)在其《中国亲程旅行记》一书中首次提出了“丝绸之路”的概念。李希托芬所谓的“丝绸之路”本是指从长安出发,经河西走廊及新疆而通向中亚、西亚、地中海沿岸的以丝绸贸易为主的商路。至20世纪后期,我国学术界开始广泛使用这一概念,并将这一概念的外延放大,泛指中国古代沟通中外之间海上和陆上以丝绸贸易为标志的通商路线,并进而衍生出“海上丝绸之路”、“西南丝绸之路”、“草原丝绸之路”等新概念。近年来,随着我国对外经济、文化交流的日益扩大,我国学术界有关“丝绸之路”的研究也形成方兴未艾之势。
In the early 2000s, the German scholar Ferdinandvon Richthofen first proposed the concept of “Silk Road” in his book Traveling in China. The so-called “Silk Road” by Li Xitoffen refers to a silk trade-based commercial route starting from Chang’an and leading to Central Asia, West Asia and the Mediterranean Sea via the Hexi Corridor and Xinjiang. By the late 20th century, our academic community began to make extensive use of this concept and enlarged the concept by extension. This refers broadly to the ancient Chinese business line of communicating silk trade between China and the rest of the world, “Maritime Silk Road”, “Southwest Silk Road”, “Prairie Silk Road” and other new concepts. In recent years, with the continuous expansion of China’s foreign economic and cultural exchanges, the academic research on the “Silk Road” in our country has also taken shape in the ascendant.
