吳哥窟裡驚現中國人和柬埔寨人燒烤鬥雞….

沒有手機，沒有高鐵，古人的“朋友圈”是什麼樣的？原來世界文明的交融真的可以翻山越嶺，漂洋過海！

相隔2300公里的柬埔寨暹粒吳哥窟和中國大同雲岡石窟，如同開啟古代社交圈的大門，為我們揭示了答案。

雲岡石窟的洞穴內雕刻著中亞商人牽著滿載絲綢的駱駝商隊的畫面，而吳哥窟的石牆上描繪著中國人和柬埔寨人燒烤鬥雞的生活畫面——這些凝固在石頭上的畫面，展現了千年之前文明的交流互鑑。

雲岡石窟始建於5世紀，吳哥窟則興起於12世紀。一個見證陸上絲綢之路的駝鈴聲聲，一個記錄海上絲綢之路的帆影幢幢。它們用石刻告訴我們：早在西方“全球化”理論出現前，大同與暹粒就站在了文明的十字路口。

The Yungang Grottoes were carved in the 5th century, and Angkor Wat rose to prominence in the 12th century. These historical relics remind us that even before the Western concept of "globalization" emerged, Datong and Siem Reap have stood at the crossroads of civilizations.

中國華僑華人研究所的研究員羅楊說，吳哥王朝交通四通八達，而吳哥是整個中南半島最大、最重要的城市，可謂“條條大路通吳哥”。南來北往的民族不斷地在這裡交流，也使東南亞地區成為了民族成分最複雜的區域之一。

這種文化融合也滲透到了日常生活中。當地的度量單位，如“兩”和“鬥”，都與中國說法相呼應。這不僅是語言上的相似，更體現了數百年間貿易規則的相互借鑑，是文化融合在經濟生活層面的直觀體現。

Luo Yang, a researcher at the China Institute for Chinese Overseas Studies, said ancient Angkor was a crossroads of the world. The cultural exchanges made Southeast Asia one of the most culturally diverse regions.

Such fusion permeates daily life. Local units of measure, such as the liang and the dou — echo ancient Chinese terms, represent centuries of cultural and commercial exchange.

和暹粒一樣，大同也是民族交融的“群聊現場”。大同大學雲岡學研究專家孫瑜表示，大同是中華民族多元一體形成史的縮影。以唐代為例，曾有16個民族群體匯聚於此。

雲岡研究院的學者吳嬌以雲岡石窟第12窟“音樂窟”為例證明了這一點。窟內石壁上雕刻著47位樂伎和絲綢之路沿線各民族的44種樂器。中原傳統樂舞、鮮卑族樂舞、西域樂舞、西涼樂舞及高麗樂舞薈萃一堂，宛如一曲宏大交響。

Like Siem Reap, Datong served as a crossroads of civilizations. Sun Yu, a professor at Shanxi Datong University, said that the region hosted 16 ethnic groups during the Tang Dynasty (618-907).

Wu Jiao, a scholar from the Yungang Grottoes Research Academy, points to Cave 12 of the Yungang Grottoes as evidence of this. Known as the "Music Cave", it contains carvings of 47 musicians and 44 instruments derived from the civilizations of the ancient Silk Road.

吳哥窟和雲岡石窟雕刻精美的佛像和浮雕，就像古代的“朋友圈動態”，忠實記錄著文明的交流與碰撞。2019年，曾經默默見證陸海絲綢之路貿易往來的兩大世界文化遺產正式“互關”，成為友好景區。以窟為媒，大同和暹粒也在2021年締結為姐妹城市。如今，山西籍僑民已在柬埔寨的工程、能源、醫療和科技等領域紮根。

這種跨越千年的文明對話，正是中柬友好交往的生動縮影。從古絲綢之路的商貿往來，到今天的“一帶一路”合作，中柬從政治、產能、農業、能源、安全、人文六大領域入手，打造“鑽石六邊”合作架構，為構建新時代中柬命運共同體注入重要動力。

These statues and murals are like "social media posts" of bygone ages — capturing the exchange of civilizations and cultures. In 2019, the Yungang Grottoes and Angkor Wat became sister sites, and four years ago Datong and Siem Reap became sister cities.

The stone treasures embody the essence of the China-Cambodia relationship. This exchange stretches far beyond the confines of ancient relics. Now it extends to all-round cooperation in politics, manufacturing, agriculture, energy, security, and people-to-people exchanges.
