The Rise of Sichuan-Tibet Road During the Ming and Qing Dynasties and its Role in the Connection Between the Central Government and the Local Government of Tibet
The Sichuan-Tibet Road gradually rose and became an important link between the central government and the local government of Tibet during the Ming and Qing dynasties.In addition to the central government's initiative to open the road,the local government of Tibet also participated in the whole process.Since the middle and late Ming Dynasty,a large number of Tibetan monks and laymen went to the inland taking the Sichuan-Tibet Road to pay tributes,and brought huge amounts of tea,cloth,gold and silver and other materials back to Tibet,which is an important background for the rise of the"Han-Tibet Golden Bridge".As the Beri Tusi(chieftain)in Kham blocked the Sichuan-Tibet Road,the local government of Tibet,led by the Fifth Dalai Lama with the sup-ported from the Mongol's Gushri Khan,defeated Beri.At the beginning of the Qing,Tibet's local government traded extensively with the inland in Dar-rtse-mdo at the eastern end of Sichuan-Tibet Road.After the"Battle of Xilu"in 1700,the Qing's army entered Tibet to expel the Dzungar army in 1720,and then most areas along the Sichuan-Tibet Road were gradually under the jurisdiction of Sichuan Province.In order to ensure the road clear,the Qing government provided economic subsidies to the local government of Tibet with huge amounts of tea and silver.From the rise of the Sichuan-Tibet Road and the interaction between the central government and the local government of Tibet,we can deeply understand the reasons why the road had become a link between two sides,as well as the internal logic of Tibet's solid integration into the political system of the Central Plains.
