自秦漢以來,古代中國為與南方周邊鄰國友好往來,促進經濟交流,增強文化交融,傳播中國文化,不畏艱險,開山筑路,開辟了從廣西、云南經安南通往東南亞的對外陸路交通,構建了與東南亞各國政治、商貿、文化交流的重要橋梁,形成獨具特色的山地絲綢之路文化。這條道路不僅增進了彼此之間的了解,推動了中國與東南亞國家、中華民族與東南亞各民族之間的相互認知和文化交融,也對中國文化的發展和人類文明進步做出了巨大貢獻。

In order to communicate with southern neighboring countries,to promote economic exchanges and to strengthen cultural blending and spreading Chinese culture,China overcame hardship and dangers, built roads in the hilly regions from Guangxi and Yunnan through Annan(nowadays Vietnam) to Southeast Asia since the Qin and Han dynasties,constructing important bridges for the communications of politics,business and culture with southeast Asian countries,forming a distinctive silk road culture in mountainous regions. Not only did these roads enhance the mutual understanding and promote the mutual recognition and cultural integration between China and Southeast Asian countries,the Chinese nation and all nationalities in Southeast Asia,but they also made great contributions to the development of Chinese culture and the progress of human civilization.
