The Sogdian nation is an important nation on the Silk Road.They are both businessmen in the economic trade of the Silk Road and the messengers of cultural exchanges between the East and the West.As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period,the Sogdian nation had already reached the Central Plains region for trade.During the Sui and Tang Dynasties,the Sogdians continued to come to the Central Plains Dynasty for tribute,their commercial trade reached its peak,and the trade network covered the entire Eurasian grassland.The full text is divided into three chapters.The first chapter mainly analyzes the basic historical materials of Soghd.Because the Sogdian nation is far from the Central Plains dynasty,the records in the Chinese historical materials are occasionally confused and wrong.These confusions and errors always affect the domestic Soghd research.This article will start with the historical materials of Chinese literature,and analyze all the historical data about the Sogdian nation in the official history to judge its correctness.Based on the historical records of Chinese literature,combined with archaeological materials such as Sogdian literature,coins,murals,etc.,the study of Soghd source flow.The second chapter examines Soghd and its related names.In the Chinese historical materials,many countries are equivalent to Soghd,such as "SuYi","LiYi","KangJu","YanCai","KangGuo" and so on.Some of these names are different transliterations of Soghd from different eras,while others are confused with Soghd.For Soghd's source flow research,it is necessary to clarify whether the country being studied is Soghd to ensure the accuracy of the research.The third chapter discusses the differences between the Zhaowu Jiu Xing countries and the Soghd countries.Start with the source of Zhaowu Jiu Xing,and then list all the countries of Zhaowu Jiu Xing and examine them one by one.Starting from the geographical location,the king system and the culture,explore its history,clarify its ethnic origin,and determine which countries belong to the Soghd countries.The origin of the Sogdian nation is the basis for the study of Soghd.Only by defining the definition of Soghd can we explore the other aspects of the Sogdian nation in depth.
