茶馬古道是中國西南地區(qū)歷史悠久的貿(mào)易通道，主要連接云南、四川與西藏，并延伸至尼泊爾、印度等南亞地區(qū)。自唐宋時期興起，至清代達(dá)到鼎盛，商旅們以馬幫馱運茶葉、鹽巴、絲綢等物資，換取藏區(qū)的馬匹、藥材與毛皮。沿線地形險峻，需翻越橫斷山脈與青藏高原，但茶馬古道促進了多民族交流與經(jīng)濟往來，也孕育了獨特的馬幫文化、驛站制度和茶俗。如今，茶馬古道遺址與古村落成為文化旅游熱點，當(dāng)?shù)卣ㄟ^修復(fù)石板路、保護馬幫傳唱的“號子”與開設(shè)博物館，傳承這條“路上絲綢之路”的歷史記憶。

參考翻譯

The Ancient Tea–Horse Road was a centuries-old trade corridor in southwest China, linking Yunnan and Sichuan with Tibet and further on to Nepal and India. Emerging during the Tang–Song era and peaking in the Qing dynasty, long caravans of packhorses hauled tea, salt, and silk uphill to barter for Tibetan horses, medicinal herbs, and furs. Despite perilous terrain—including the Hengduan Mountains and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau—the route spurred interethnic contact and regional commerce, giving rise to caravan culture, relay stations, and distinctive tea customs. Today, surviving trail segments and hamlets have become cultural-tourism attractions. By restoring flagstone paths, safeguarding caravan chants, and establishing museums, local authorities keep alive the historical memory of this “Silk Road on hoof.”
