《世界境域志》所记唐地“布格舒尔”地望考

波斯地志《世界境域志》以流域为限,详略有别地介绍了唐时期分布于中国长江流域和黄河流域的两个“布格舒尔”。作为波斯语的专名,前者盐资源属性是盐井,位于剑南道泸州附近,是沿长江州郡中产量和规模最大的盐井;后者盐资源属性为盐池,同时用以代指邻近长安辖有盐池的大城市,该城地望为辖河中两池的河中府。河中盐院内“绿莎厅”的称呼者及在场者,皆为波斯商人。他们参与了“就场专卖”盐法规定的驻河中府领盐行盐之事,而居中关联者为时任河中府散兵马使且已任廿年之久的波斯裔李景侁。

Corresponding Cities and Place Names with Salt Resources in Tang Dynasty Which Recorded in The Resources of the World (Hudud Al-Alam) as Bughshur

The Middle Persian (pahlavi) geographical book The Regions of the World (Hudud al-alam) records two important salt resources both named Bughshur in Tang dynasty based on regional differentiation. The former lies in the drainage area of the Upper Yangtze River, the latter lies in the drainage area of the Yellow River. We could identify the former as salt well named Fuyi near prefecture Lu in the region of Jiannan Dao, the latter as salt lake near the prefecture Hezhong in the region of Hedong Dao. There is a hall in the city of Hezhong which bears the name “Lü sha” (Persian as “rusa”), and means scarf in English. Based on literature study, we can conclude there was a Persian man Li Jingshen, wore scarf in hall occasionally, who had been a leader of local militia for almost twenty years. With his assistance, Persian merchants came to Hezhong to attend to the state monopoly of Hezhong crystal salt.
