早在吐蕃王朝时期,从松赞干布开始的历代藏王,都非常重视商业贸易。那时设有五大商官,专门负责对内和对外的商业贸易。他们是汉地茶商、突厥王商、吐谷浑(青海)刀商、丹玛(四川)绸商和兰地盐商(《西藏通史》)。王忠先生引用过藏族古代史诗《格萨尔王传》中的一条谚语:“来回汉藏两地的牦牛,背上什么东西也不愿意驮,但遇到贸易有利,就连性命也不顾了。”这生动地描述了当年汉藏贸易的兴盛,也折射出拉萨八廓街商业的繁荣。
As early as during the Tubo Dynasty, successive Zangs from Songtsan-Gampo attached great importance to commercial trade. At that time, there were five major business officers specializing in commercial trade both internally and externally. They are the Han tea merchants, Tujuewang merchants, Tuyuhun (Qinghai) knives, Danma (Sichuan) merchants and the salt merchants (“General History of Tibet”). Mr. Wang Zhong quoted a proverb from the ancient Tibetan epic King Gesar: “The yaks in both China and Tibet are not willing to carry anything on their backs, but even in the face of favorable trade, even their lives are ignored ”This vividly depicts the rise of trade between China and Tibet that year and also reflects the commercial prosperity of Barkhor Street in Lhasa.
