中瑞西北科學考查團交涉過程及協定內容評議

Comments on the Negotiation Process and Agreement Content of The Sino-Swedish Scientific Expedition to the North-Western Provinces of China

民國16年至22年(1927-1933)間，著名的瑞典籍探險家斯文‧赫定(Sven Hedin)與北京學術界（由北京大學主導）合組「西北科學考查團」，在中國西北地區進行有關考古學、人類學、民俗學、地質學、地磁學、氣象學、天文學等多項學術考察活動，成果豐碩。特別是團員貝格曼(Folke Bergman)於民國19至20年(1930-31)間，在額濟納河流域（古名弱水）考古發掘居延漢簡一萬餘枚，震驚中外！惟此一具劃時代意義之學術考察活動，因歲月年遠日久，目前除少數鑽研西北史地之學者外，世人多已不詳其事。筆者翻閱民國16年5月10-11日《申報》時得見當時簽訂之協定十九條（見本文附錄），願對其略加申述、評論，尚祈識者不吝指正！

"From 1927-1933 of the Republic of China, the famous Swedish explorer Sven Hedin (1865-1952) and the academic community of Beijing (led by Peking University) formed the ""Northwest Science Investigation Group"", which was established in the Northwest of China. A number of academic investigation activities related to archaeology, anthropology, folklore, geology, geomagnetism, meteorology, and astronomy, etc. The results have been carried out successfully in the region. In particular, one of the members, Folke Bergman (1902-1946), excavated more than 10,000 pieces of Juyan Han jian (The Documents of the Han Dynasty on Wooden Slips from Edsen-Gol) in the Edsen-gol region in the Inner Mongolia during 1930 to 1931. It was a shocking new worldwide! However, this epic academic investigation activity has been known for many years, except for a few scholars who delve into the history and geography of the Northwest of China. When the author read through the ""Shun Pao"" dated May 10-11, 1927, he can observe the article 19 of the agreement signed at that time. The author would like to make a few commentaries based upon it."
