从公元前138年起,西汉张骞带着随从和丝绸,从长安(今西安)出发,历经生死磨难两度出使西域,跨越黄土高原,穿过茫茫沙漠、戈壁,走出了一条连接东西方经济文化的大道,也自此开辟了一条经后人不断延伸并最终横贯亚洲,进而联结非洲、欧洲、美洲的陆上、海上丝绸之路……丝绸之路是一条开放交流之路,也是一条对话友谊之路。它见证着中国古代的传统文明,记载了古代中国的辉煌历史。根据联合国大会通过的世界文化发展十年(1988～1997)计划要求,1990年,由联合国教科文组织组织来自世界20个国家的科学家对丝绸之路进行了考察。考察的目的在于向全世界揭示“丝路”文化的辉煌成就和对人类文明的卓越贡献,并以古人的伟大实践和宝贵的历史经验,启迪当代人应高度重视开放交流、对话和合作,促进当代世界的和平与发展。虽然这项活动已去10多年,并且有关新闻媒体也对此作过一些跟踪报道,但本文作者贾学谦先生从一个文化学者的视角,系统记录这次考察活动的一组纪实文章《驼铃与古船》,以其详实的资料性、丰富的知识性和令人愉悦的趣味性,对广大读者认真回味中国古代文明,全面了解“丝路”文化,具有很大意义。所以,从本期起,本刊特辟专栏“文化之旅”,开始对这组文章进行连载。贾学谦,曾任联合国教科文组织国际教育局理事会
From 138 BC, the Western Han Dynasty, with his entourage and silk, started his journey from Chang’an (now Xi’an) to twice the Western Regions through life and death. He crossed the Loess Plateau and crossed the vast desert and Gobi. The avenue of culture has since opened up a land-sea and sea-silk road that continues to extend through posterity and eventually cross Asia, thus linking Africa, Europe and the Americas. The Silk Road is an open exchange and a dialogue Friendship Road. It witnessed ancient Chinese traditional civilization and recorded the glorious history of ancient China. According to the plan of the World Cultural Development Decade (1988-1997) approved by the UN General Assembly, in 1990, scientists from 20 countries in the world were organized by UNESCO to conduct an inspection of the Silk Road. The purpose of the inspection is to reveal to the world the brilliant achievements of the Silk Road culture and its outstanding contribution to human civilization. Taking the great practice of the ancient people and valuable historical experience as inspiration, the contemporary people should attach great importance to opening up exchanges, dialogue and cooperation, and promote Peace and development in the contemporary world. Although this activity has been going on for more than 10 years and some news media have also made some follow-up reports on it, the author of this paper, Mr. Jia Xueqian, systematically recorded a series of documentary articles titled “Camel and Ancient Ship from a Cultural Scholar’s Perspective” With its detailed information, abundant knowledge and pleasing taste, it is of great significance for our readers to seriously remind the Chinese ancient civilization and fully understand the “Silk Road” culture. Therefore, starting from this issue, we published a special column entitled “Cultural Journey” and started serializing this series of articles.
