自西汉张骞凿空西域,中原与中亚官方的正式交往开始了。随着双方交往的日益密切,两汉时期大量的中亚诸国人来到中国,他们中间既有来华的质子、贡使及官员,也有不少的中亚贾胡、艺人及传教僧。这些人的到来不但为汉文化增添了新的血液,也在一定程度上促进了中西交通与交流的发展。 Since the Western Han Dynasty Zhang Qian hollowed out the Western Central Plains official exchanges with Central Asia began. With the increasingly close contacts between the two countries, a great many Central Asian people came to China during the Han dynasty. Among them, there are protons, tribute officers and officials from China, as well as many Jiahu, artistes and missionaries in Central Asia. The arrival of these people not only added new blood to the Han culture, but also to some extent promoted the development of the transportation and exchange between China and the West.
