Abstract

İmparator Wu (MÖ 141-87), siyasi sebeplerden dolayı Çin İmparatorluğu’nun batısındaki ülkelere ilk defa diplomatik ilişkiler için elçiler gönderdi. Sonrasında Çin ile batı ülkeleri birbirlerine elçiler göndererek karşılıklı hediyeler sunarak ilişkilerini kuvvetlendirdiler. Çin İmparatorluğunun gücünü ve zenginliğini temsil eden ipek, diplomatik ilişkilerde imparatorluğun geleneksel ve prestijli bir hediyesi idi. Batı uygarlıklarının Çin ipeği ile tanışmaları sonrası ipeğe son derece değer vermeleri Çin ile ticari ilişkilerin başlamasını sağladı. MÖ 1. yüzyılın sonundan itibaren başlayan Çin ile yapılan resmi ve gayri resmi düzenli ticari ilişkiler, İpek Yolu ağının doğuşunu ve gelişimini sağladı.

Çin ile ilk resmi (MÖ 25 civarı) ticari ilişkiyi kuran Kuzeybatı Hindistan’da bulunan limanlardan deniz yolu ile Akdeniz’deki Roma İmparatorluğuna Çin ipeği ihraç edilirdi. MÖ 1. yüzyıl sonundan itibaren Akdeniz’den Hindistan’ın kuzeyine uzanan ticari güzergâhı kontrol eden Part İmparatorluğu, MS 1.yüzyıl sonunda Çin ipeği ticaretini kontrol ediyordu ve Çin’den gelen ipeği Roma İmparatorluğuna satıyorlardı. Bu dönemde Partlar, Romalı elçileri Çin ile ticari diplomatik ilişki kurmamaları için kendi topraklarından geçmelerine izin vermezdi. Partlar ile Romalıların ilişkilerinin iyi olduğu Caesar Augustus devrinde (MÖ 27-MS 14), Romalı tüccarlar, Akdeniz’den Çin’e uzanan güzergâhı kullanarak ipek ticareti yapardı. Bu güzergâh sonrasında ana İpek Yolu’nu meydana getirdi. Roma ve Çin imparatorlukları ancak MS 166 yılında ticari amaçlı diplomatik ilişki kurabildiler.

Başarılı tüccar bir halk olan Orta Asyalı Sogdlular, MS 4. yüzyıldan sonra Orta Asya’dan Çin’in içlerine kadar uzanan İpek Yolu güzergâhında koloni yerleşimler kurdular ve İpek Yolu ticaretinde söz sahibi oldular. Doğuda İpek Yolu ticaretinde güçlenen Sogdlular, MS 6. yüzyılın ikinci yarısında Türklerin desteği ile batıda da uluslararası ipek ticareti yapmaya başladılar. Sasaniler ile ipek ticareti konusunda anlaşamayan Sogdlular ve Türkler, Roma İmparatorluğu gibi ipeğin çok talep gördüğü Bizans İmparatorluğu ile kurulan diplomatik ilişkiler neticesinde Bizans ile ipek ticareti konusunda anlaştı. Orta Asya’dan başlayarak Hazar Denizi kuzeyinden Karadeniz’e ve Bizans İmparatorluğu’na uzanan İpek Yolu ağının kuzey yolu oluştu.

Tarih boyunca doğu ve batı uygarlıklarını siyasi, ekonomik ve kültürel olarak birbirlerine yakınlaşmalarını ve etkileşim içinde olmalarını sağlayan İpek Yolu ağının temel güzergâhlarının MÖ 1. yüzyıl sonlarından başlayarak MS 6. yüzyılın sonlarına kadar oluştuğu ve geliştiği tarihi kaynaklar çerçevesinde anlaşılmaktadır.

The Formation of Silk Road Combining Eastern and Western Civilizations in the Light of Historical Sources

Abstract

Emperor Wu (141-87 BC) sent envoys for diplomatic relations for the first time to countries in the western of the Chinese Empire for political reasons. Afterwards, China and western countries strengthened their relations by sending envoys to each other and offering mutual gifts. Silk, representing the power and wealth of the Chinese Empire, was a traditional and prestigious gift of the empire in diplomatic relations. After Western civilizations met with Chinese silk, they gave great value to silk, which led to the start of trade relations with China. Formal and informal regular trade relations with China, which started from the end of the 1st century BC, provided the birth and development of the Silk Road network.

Chinese silk was exported to the Roman Empire in the Mediterranean by sea from the ports in Northwest India, which established the first official (around 25 BC) commercial relationship with China. The Parthian Empire, which controlled the commercial route from the Mediterranean to the north of India from the end of the 1st century BC, controlled the Chinese silk trade at the end of the 1st century AD and sold the silk from China to the Roman Empire. During this period, the Parthians would not allow the Roman envoys to pass through their own territory so that they could not establish commercial diplomatic relations with China. During the reign of Caesar Augustus (27 BC - 14 AD), when the Parthians and Romans had good relations, Roman merchants traded silk using the route from the Mediterranean to China. This route later formed the main Silk Road. The Roman and Chinese empires were able to establish diplomatic relations for commercial purposes only in AD 166.

Central Asian Sogdians, a successful merchant people, established colonial settlements on the Silk Road route from Central Asia to the interior of China after the 4th century AD and had a say in Silk Road trade. The Sogdians, who became stronger in the Silk Road trade in the east, started to do international silk trade in the west with the support of the Turks in the second half of the 6th century AD. The Sogdians and Turks, who could not agree on the silk trade with the Sassanids, agreed on the silk trade with Byzantium as a result of diplomatic relations with the Byzantine Empire, where silk was in high demand, like the Roman Empire. Thus, the northern route of the Silk Road network, starting from Central Asia, stretching from the north of the Caspian Sea to the Black Sea and the Byzantine Empire was formed.

It is understood within the framework of historical sources that the basic routes of the Silk Road network, which enabled eastern and western civilizations to get closer and interact with each other politically, economically and culturally throughout history, were formed and developed from the end of the 1st century BC to the end of the 6th century AD.
