摘　　要：目前国际上所保存的有关印度古代帝王阿育王的文献主要有希腊罗马的文献、铭文文献、巴利语文献、梵语文献、藏语文献、汉语文献等6种,其中汉语阿育王文献不但时间久远,而且种类多样,内容丰富,可以在很多方面弥补其他类型文献的不足,既对认识印度古代政治具有重要意义,而且对研究佛教传播史、中国译经史也具有重要价值。汉语阿育王文献在国际学术界受忽视的现状应该得到改变。There are mainly 6 types of literatures about Asoka currently kept in the world： ancient Hellenic and Roman literature,Indian inscripted literature,Pali literature,Sanskrit literature,Tibetan literature and Chinese literature,among which the Chinese Asoka Literature can compensate for other literature＇s deficiency in many ways with its antiquity,various categories and rich contents.So it is not only very important in understanding ancient Indian politics,but also has great value in researching the history of Buddhism spread and China＇s sutra translation.The current situation that Chinese Asoka Literature is ignored in the international academic circles should be changed.
