在9世纪后半叶乃至整个10世纪的丝绸之路东、中段交通网络系统中,灵州道占有一席之地。宋初,大食、回鹘、于阗以及归义军等民族政权多通过灵州道与北宋王朝进行经贸、文化往来。本文主要针对这一时段内灵州道的畅通情况及其道路性质进行探讨,在原有文献考证的基础上,利用考古资料、GIS技术,尽可能实现对灵州道古地名数据的精确地理定位,最后使用ARCGIS技术,绘制灵州道的道路走向地图,为北宋灵州道区域的政治、经济、文化交流综合研究提供地理学依据。
Lingzhou Road was a very important part of the eastern section of the Silk Road in the second half of the ninth century and the whole tenth century. At the beginning of the Song dynasty,the ethnic groups or ethnic regimes like the Tazi,theUi- ghur, the Yu-Tian and the Guiyijun usually had businesses or cultural exchanges with the Northzhou Road. With the help of the relevant literature review and archaeological findings as well as GIS techncusses the transport conditions and characteristics of Lingzhou Road as well as the accurate location information names along this road. It finally dra-ws a map of Lingzhou Road with the help of ARCGIS technoloical significance to the studies of the political,economic and cultural exchanges along this road
