Qianqian Li: 'A Preliminary Discussion on the Formation of Western Sichuan Rural Settlement Pattern Based on Han Dynasty Stone Carvings from the Zengjiabao Tomb in the Western Suburbs of Chengdu'

Abstract: This article uses the images on the rear wall of the east rear chamber of Tomb No. 1 at Zengjiabao as image data for studying the early formation of the West Sichuan forest-enclosed settlement pattern. It attempts to trace the initial formation of the "field-forest-house" forest-enclosed settlement mode in the Chengdu Plain by tracing the Han Dynasty Sichuan manor pattern visible in archaeological images. Since the 21st century, traditional forest-enclosed settlement landscapes have been disappearing on a large scale, and the land use patterns and farming and settlement modes in the rural areas of the Chengdu Plain are also undergoing major changes. Direct records of the ancient Sichuan landscape are relatively scarce, which is one of the reasons why the historical research on forest-enclosed settlements cannot be deepened. Combining cultural relics, literature, and field investigations, the author starts with the Han Dynasty images from the Zengjiabao tomb, supplemented by contemporary Sichuan...

Huo Wei: Archaeological Research on the Highland Silk Road from the Prehistoric Period to the Tang Dynasty

The concept of the "Plateau Silk Road" is an expansion of the narrow definition of the Silk Road, representing a broader concept. Specifically, it refers to the transportation network and its main routes for exchanges between East and West, China and foreign regions, from the Central Plains of China via the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, or starting from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, during different periods. In the past, archaeological work on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau started relatively late, lacking substantial archaeological evidence to discuss this concept. In recent years, archaeological work in Tibet has made great progress, from prehistoric times to the Han and Tang Dynasties (which, for the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, roughly corresponds to the era of the early "small kingdoms" and the Tang Dynasty Tubo Dynasty)...
