摘　　要：在欧亚大陆的早期历史中,太阳因其对人类生存至关重要的作用,成了广泛崇拜的对象。丝绸之路上,太阳崇拜的现象尤为显著,其中青铜、黄金和鹿等象征太阳的物品,常常被作为崇拜的具象表现。此外,许多沿丝绸之路的民族将他们的神山命名为“太阳山”,并自称为“太阳的后裔”。本文旨在深入探讨“吉金”“麒麟”“昆仑”和“华夏”等早期中国的核心概念,并通过与丝绸之路沿线语言的比较分析,提出这些语词的语源均与“太阳”紧密相关。In the early history of the Eurasian continent,due to its crucial role in human survival,the sun,became a widely worshiped entity.Along the Silk Road,the phenomenon of sun worship was particularly prominent,with items symbolizing the sun,such as bronze,gold,and deer,often serving as tangible expressions of this worship.Furthermore,many ethnic groups along the Silk Road named their sacred mountain peaks“Sun”and referred to themselves as“descendants of the Sun.”This article aims to delve into early Chinese core concepts such as“Jijin,”“Qilin,”“Kunlun,”and“Huaxia,”and through comparative analysis with the languages along the Silk Road,suggests that the etymologies of these terms are closely related to the concept of the“Sun.”
