《摩訶婆羅多》里的支那不是中國(guó)
從《摩訶婆羅多》里的地理位置來(lái)看,支那人在東光國(guó)(Pragjyotisha)位于現(xiàn)在的孟加拉 東光國(guó)王周圍有吉羅陀人和支那人,還有許多住在海邊的戰(zhàn)士。(19)(征四方篇)
在看英譯(包括注釋) Pragjyotisha was surrounded by kiratas, chinas 9 and many other warriors who lived along the shores of the ocean.10 9 Should be identified with Tibet rather than China proper. 應(yīng)該認(rèn)為是西藏而不是中國(guó) 10 Presumably, the Bay of Bengal. The text is best translated as ‘surrounded’. However, the sense probably is that these warriors also supported Bhagadatta. 大概是孟加拉灣。文本最好翻譯為“環(huán)繞”。然而,這種感覺可能是,這些戰(zhàn)士也支持福授。 西藏是元朝時(shí)被納入中國(guó)的,《摩訶》的故事線在公元前三千年左右(kali時(shí)代開啟),成書時(shí)間在公元前4世紀(jì)到公元4世紀(jì)。時(shí)間對(duì)不上。所以單純只是同名而已
