| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It is a well-known fact that Chinese Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty had a significant impact on many countries in East Asia, including Japan. Under what circumstances in Tang China did this religion flourish? Given that Tang history developed in close relation with Eurasian historical trends, it is necessary to observe the development of Chinese Buddhism during this period in connection with overall trends in Eurasia. In this regard, this study examines how Tang-period Chinese Buddhism advanced in relation to Eurasian history with a focus on the activities of the Sogdian merchants, who travelled the broad expanses of Eurasia and had a great impact on the politics, economy, religion, and culture of Tang China.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
ソグド人の活動が、唐の軍事・経済・文化など様々な方面に大きな影響力をもたらしていることは指摘されてきたが、本研究を通じさらに中国の仏教の展開においても彼らの経済的活動や宗教的活動が極めて重要であることが確認できる。また、宦官・宮廷の女性などがソグド人らと仏教を紐帯として結びつき、ひとつの政治勢力となっていた時期が確認できるなど、唐代の政治史研究においてもソグド人の動向は無視できないことが分かる。
