東チベットの古道調査 その1: 香格里拉から徳欽までの茶馬古道

Abstract

The author of this paper explored "The ancient road of Tea and Horses" from Shangrila to Deqin in Yunnan of China, and interviewed the people who were concerned with the trade of Tea and Horses, and recorded looking and listening about the road and the trade. He researched the location of the ancient road which is not same as the location of present roadway, and walked the ancient road and recorded the conditions. The next exploration of the ancient road of Tea and Horses proceeds in the north of Deqin. The exploration should proceed in the early time, because the people are more than 80 years old who engaged in the trade before founding of People's Republic of China, and houses and bridges in those days are decrepit.
