历史时期中原与西域的界标及其意象变迁研究

通过梳理历代文学作品尤其是诗词中的玉门关、阳关、嘉峪关,探析这些地理界标在当时人空间认知中的指代;并确定同期中原与西域间的地理界标;比较界标和界标意象,解读两者之间的关系,探讨界标变动的推动因素。分析发现：① 地理界标缘于疆域的变动和边防经略的调整,其规模、位置等自然之形随着丝绸之路路线变迁而改变;② 中原与西域两大空间的界标与国家疆域时而背离、时而重合;③ 当中原王朝管控能力强时,界标与界标意象重合,反之,界标与意象出现背离。借助文学作品来阐释它们的变迁历程,是深入开展边疆史地研究的一次尝试,为历史地理学研究提供新的视角。

Changes of Landmark and Its Images Between Central Plains and Western Regions in Historical Period

By combing the Yumen Pass, Yangguan and Jiayuguan in the literary works especially poems all previous dynasties, the present article attempts to explore the reference of the image on geographic landmark in people’s spatial cognition, determine the geographic landmark between the Central Plains and the Western Regions during the same period,and compare the relationship between the landmarks and the image of landmark, and explore the driving factors of the change on geographic landmarks. The analysis showed: 1) Natural shape such as size and position on geographical landmark is changed with the route of the silk road, due to the change of the territory and the adjustment of border control. 2) The landmarks of the two great Spaces between the Central Plains and the Western Regions sometimes are deviate from the state boarders and sometimes overlap. When the control ability of zhongyuan dynasty is strong, the relation should be synchronized between the geographic landmark and the image of the landmark, otherwise asynchronous.
