Hexi is a long, narrow region that runs west from the Yellow River in Gansu Province, China, along the north side of the Qilian Mountains. Commonly known as the Hexi Corridor, it is dotted with oases in the desert and forms the eastern end of the Silk Road. Emperor Wu of Han defeated the Xiongnu who occupied this area, securing an east-west trade route. In the 1st century BCE, the four prefectures of Jiuquan, Zhangye, Dunhuang, and Wuwei were established there, one after the other. The oasis cities that form the centers of these four prefectures are still alive and well today. [Hibino Tsuyoshi] Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
河西とは中国甘粛省の黄河から西,祁連(きれん)山脈の北側にそった狭長な地域である。俗に河西回廊といわれ,砂漠の中にオアシスが点在してシルクロードの東端を形成する。漢の武帝はここを占拠していた匈奴を撃退し,東西貿易路を確保した。前1世紀のころそこに酒泉,張掖,敦煌,武威の4郡が前後して設置された。4郡の中心をなすオアシス都市は今日もなおその生命を維持している。【日比野 丈夫】
