摘要

本文提供了一个按时间顺序跨越边界的实验,作为解决欧亚大陆中部连续性和变化问题的方式。它分析了阿尔提沙赫尔(更广泛地称为东突厥斯坦或南疆)圣地的暴力转变,考察了11世纪从佛教到穆斯林统治的转变,以及21世纪中华人民共和国将伊斯兰教圣地转变为民族主义展示场所和“丝绸之路”旅游景点的努力。这种并置的现象使人们对普遍认为的11世纪的过渡是将现有的佛教场所简单地改造成伊斯兰教形式的理解产生了疑问,同时也从更广泛的历史角度看待中国目前对伊斯兰教圣地的限制。总之,这些11世纪和20世纪的转变表明,神社充当了文化仲裁者的角色,确立了变革进入阿尔提沙赫尔的路线,并顽固地保留了不仅古老的意义,而且古老的认识方式。与此同时,在这些地方,持续的意义创造的动力变得清晰可见——在这些地方,文化变革本身成为将人们团结在宗教和国家等本应稳定的身份群体中的叙事的明确部分。

Continuity and Change at Millennial Scale: The Holy Sites of Serindia
Abstract This essay offers an experiment in chronological boundary crossing as way of addressing questions about continuity and change in Central Eurasia. It analyzes the violent transformations of holy sites in Altishahr (more widely known as Eastern Turkistan or southern Xinjiang), examining the 11th-century transition from Buddhist to Muslim rule alongside the 21st-century efforts of the People’s Republic of China to transform sacred Islamic sites into nationalist showpieces and “Silk Road” tourism sites. This juxtaposition calls into question prevailing understandings of the 11th -century transition as a simple refashioning of existing Buddhist sites into Islamic forms, while also placing current Chinese restrictions on Islamic holy sites in a broader historical perspective. Together, these 11th- and 20th century transformations show that shrines act as cultural arbiters, establishing routes by which change has entered Altishahr and stubbornly preserving not just older meanings, but also older ways of knowing. At the same time, they are places where the dynamics of continuous meaning creation come into clear view—where cultural change itself becomes an explicit part of the narratives that bind people together in supposedly stable identity groups such as religions and nations.
