摘要

玄奘西行求法之旅，瓜州至伊州一段遭遇艱難最多而又集中，最能體現玄奘求法的決心及堅忍精神，成爲後世緬懷追尋的一大焦點。據《玄奘傳》載，知玄奘乃是依傍莫賀延磧道行進的。而當年的莫賀延磧道情況如何，沿途有哪些烽戍哨卡，本文一一據實作出比對；在考證瓜州城、瓠蘆河及第一烽所等關鍵性地理座標的基礎上，弄清了玄奘當年究竟怎樣傍官道穿插而行、又在何處失路困頓幾至喪生的。本文可爲今人重走這段玄奘之路提供導引。

Hsuantsang (also known as Xuanzang, Hsuanchuang and so on) traveled to the west in search of truth fourteen hundred years ago. The most difficult and dangerous journey in his pilgrimage was from Kua-chou (Anhsi) to I-chou (Hami). It depicted not only his zeal quest of truth and steadfast and persevering spirit to a greatest degree, but also cherished the memory of human through centuries thereafter. According to ”Biography of Hsuantsang”, we know that he traveled along with the prolong moraine called Mo-ho-yen desert (Gashun Gobi) route. This paper makes through investigation on possible situation of the route, including all watchtowers, checkpoints, beacons and so on one by one. On the basis of criticizing most historical and geographical sources, we now have better knowledge on the township of Kua-chou, Hu-lu River and the first beacon. In the text, we also clarify how on earth Hsuantsang walked alternatively through official route and moraines, where he lost in the desert several times and not tired out to dying. In addition, this text can offer as a guide for moderns taking the same route on the Silk Road.
