摘要
南方丝绸之路是中国历史上西南各族往来并通往南亚、东南亚的一条重要通道,唐初称之为"西洱天竺之道"。天宝战争后,唐与南诏反目,此道长期闭塞。韦皋任西川节度使期间,在联合南诏打击吐蕃战略中,于8世纪末9世纪初先后在川滇间的北路及南路开路置驿。南方丝绸之路重开后,推动了唐与南诏的交往交流,也有利于唐与南亚、东南亚各国的交流。韦皋在重开此道中的历史作用,应给予积极评价。
Weigao was one of the famous Jiedushi( regional military commissioners) of the Jiannan Xichuan( located in today's southern Sichuan) in the Tang Dynasty. During the rule of Wei Gao,he successfully defeated the Tubo,and changed the Tang court's submissiveness in the southwestern region and the fight between the Tang and Tubo along the southern line. He also restored the links between Yunnan and Xichuan including all the way to the Central Plains,and,as a result,the once closed Southern Silk Road was reopened.A further exploration and evaluation of Wei Gao's actions and his influence on reopening the Southern Silk Road ought to be given.I. Wei Gao's Alliance with the Nanzhao Kingdom and Reopening the Southern Silk Road In 785 A. D.,Wei Gao arrived in Chengdu and was appointed Jiedushi of Jiannan Xichuan.The situation of Jiannan Xichuan at that time was very critical. After the Tianbao war,the Kingdom of Nanzhao,which had unified the area around Erhai Lake with the support of the Tang in the past,turned against the Tang and publicly announced its alliance with the Tubo. The Nanzhao Kingdom,together with the Tubo,struck the Tang in the southwestern region. This shift not only put the Tang in a submissive position in the southwestern region,but also significantly influenced the relations between the Tang and the Tubo.As the Jiedushi of Jiannan Xichuan,Wei Gao became a unique practitioner and actively promoted a joint strategy in Yunnan. After the Tang decided to make an alliance with the Nanzhao Kingdom,relevant actions were taken immediately. However because relations between the Nanzhao Kingdom and the Tang had been broken for many years,at the beginning,Wei Gao could only communicate through some of the tribal chiefs of the Dongman( Eastern Barbarians). Through several years of effort and mutual contact,Wei Gao's endeavors to make an alliance with the Nanzhao,at last,were effective.Wei Gao's efforts to make an alliance with the Nanzhao certainly involved issues related to transportation between Xichuan and the area
