Abstract:

 

China and Sasanian Iran enjoyed a number of diplomatic exchanges in response to growing political expansions from the fifth to sixth centuries. The understanding of pre-Islamic Iran and its influences on Chinese civilization are not so widely studied or understood. This paper will examine the diplomatic contacts between Iran and China, as well as the contacts between the caliphates and China during the Tang dynasty. We will further examine Chinese accounts of the Iranian calendar, economy and culture. I argue that Iran exercised a significant historical and cultural influence on China, but also that Chinese sources can provide rich information about contemporary Iran.

 

中國和薩珊波斯王朝在五至六世紀之間為了應對日益增長的政治擴張,進行了多次外交交流。目前學界缺乏對接受伊斯蘭教之前的伊朗及其對中國文明影響的研究。本文將考察伊朗與中國的外交往來,以及唐時期哈里發與中國的来往。

 

還將進一步分析中文文獻中對伊朗曆法、經濟和文化的記載。本文認為伊朗對中國產生了重大的歷史和文化影響,且中文中保存著大量有關當時伊朗的豐富材料。
