库车出土文书所见粟特佛教徒

本文考证库车出土汉语、龟兹语文书中出现的粟特人名,藉以探索7～8世纪粟特人在龟兹的活动。这些文书材料显示当地有不少粟特佛教徒,其中有些人在龟兹本地佛寺经营方面位居要角,有些人则同时为唐朝及龟兹官府做事。这些粟特佛教徒与当地其他佛教徒互动频繁,反映唐代安西社会中胡、汉诸族融合之趋势。

Sogdian Buddhists in Unearthed Documents from Kucha

This paper approaches Sogdian’s activities in Qiuci in the 7th and 8th century from Sogdian names in Chinese and Qiuci documents unearthed from Kucha.According to these documents,there lived numbers of Sogdian Buddhists in Qiuci at that time,of whom some even occupied crucial positions in charge of temple management and some worked for both Tang Dynasty and Qiuci government.They also maintained close ties with other Buddhists in Qiuci.All these suggest a tendency of fusion among Hu,Han and other ethnic groups in Anxi of Tang Dynasty.
