碩士 / 國立臺灣大學 / 歷史學研究所 / 101 / The “Tashi” in ancient Chinese sources is generally recognized as an Arab or Islam Caesaropapism regime in Arabian Peninsula rose in 7th century. This essay considers that the meaning and origin of Tashi are obscure and uncertain as well as there could be some new surveys and interpretations in this theme.
The maritime Tashi sources in Tang Dynasty could be three classifications. First, the Chinese monks who went to India brought the sources of what they saw and heard in their travelling. These sources tells us not only the Arabs conquered the Persians but also the muslim traders appeared in Indian Ocean. Second, the writing of official history were reported from the foreign traders and envoys. The information of Du Huan’s words about east Islamic world and Jia Dan’s shipping route from Guanzhou to Persian Gulf both came from Islam world. Third, the Tashi fictions in the essays and novels were relative to maritime commerce of Tashi and an Arabic origin.
The Tashi sources in Sung Dynasty always associated with maritime activities. The Tashi in Northern Sung period were about maritime muslim traders and always connected with the South Sea emporiums such as San-fo-chi (Sri Vijaya), She-po (Java), Champa, Chola, Kulam. It showed us that the South China Sea world was controlled by the muslim traders. The Lin-wai-dai-da (嶺外代答) and Zhu-fan-zhi (諸蕃志) in Southern Sung provides the Tashi is a collective name for all the countries in the Islamic world and it is more clearly than the sources before. The Tashi toponym in the two books are centered on Persian Gulf and related to Islam commercial activities. It represents an Indian Ocean world controlled by Persian Gulf muslim merchants.
After the Mongols conquered the Sung, the commercial images of Tashi were replaced by “Huehue(回回),” a name came from Inner Asia. The meaning of Tashi were associated with fictions or muslim groups in South China sea.
