摘　　要：在欧亚草原青铜时代中西交流的大背景下,中国的红玛瑙珠一直以来都被认为是从西方引入的。随着地质学技术与实验考古学的发展,新的证据使我们能以新的视角重新审视中国红玛瑙珠的起源与传播。尽管更多的分析依然需要我们去做,但目前的证据显示:中蒙戈壁红玛瑙珠生产传统具有自身的演化路径,受西方影响的证据并不明确;这一传统随着商周时期中原与北方草原联系的加强而进入中原。红玛瑙珠在中国青铜时代的起源与流行不仅体现了中原王朝对待北方草原人群的态度与政治策略,还反映了自古以来中原与边疆民族融合的大趋势。Within the broader context of Sino-West communications in the Bronze Age Eurasia,carnelian beads in China have long been considered as imports from the West.Nevertheless,recent progresses in geological science and experimental archaeology have generated new evidence,which enabled us to reassess the origin and spread of carnelian beads in China from a novel perspective.Although further analysis is still required,current evidence suggests that the productive tradition of carnelian beads in the Sino-Mongolian Gobi followed its own distinct developmental trajectory,showing no clear signs of western influence.This tradition likely entered the Central Plains as connections between the Central Plains and the northern steppe intensified during the Shang and Zhou periods.The emergence and circulation of carnelian beads in Bronze Age China not only reflect the attitudes and political strategies of Central Plains dynasties towards the northern steppe populations,but also highlighted the long-standing trend of integration between the Central Plains and frontier ethnic groups.
