The Taq-i Bustan reliefs are representative works from the Sassanian dynasty of the 4th to 7th centuries. This study analyzes the costumes depicted in the Taq-i Bustan reliefs to gain understanding of the phenomena of cultural exchange between the East and West by observing the foreign cultural elements appearing in the Sassanian costumes of that time. Literature study and artifacts analysis were conducted in parallel. External elements appearing in Taq-i Bustan's costume were Greek-Roman and Central Asian. The tunics and trousers of the gods and the trousers of kings (Ardashir II, Shapur II and Shapur III) were made of thin fabric and showed many wrinkles, a characteristic of Greek and Roman clothing. On the spandrel above the arch of the great grotto of Khusrau II are depicted the goddesses of Victory, in a Greco-Bactrian style. Among the costume elements of Taq-i Bustan, there were also Central Asian elements observed. One Central Asian costume element was the round clasp ornament for tying the trousers. The side slits and hem of the tunic were presented in the style of the Sogd clothing of Central Asia in the 6th and 7th centuries, while the pearl rounded pattern was activated in Sogd, Kucha and Kizyl in the 7th and 8th centuries. These reliefs are considered important evidence of eastern influences in Sassanian culture.

We have studied the history of the introduction of Ayurveda medicine in Mongolia. During the periods of the Hunnu (400 BC-200 AD), Ikh Nirun (400-600 AD), and Uigur Dynasty (800-1,000 AD), Ayurveda (Indian Medicine) was introduced to Mongolia along with Buddhism from the Middle Asian countries Kushan, Khotan, Sogd and Uigar. Ayurveda was fully introduced to Mongolia under the deep influence of Tibetan Buddhism from the 13th century. Mongolia's first Medical School, following the Tibetan tradition, was established in 1662. In Mongolia more than 40 Medical Schools were established from 1662-1937. 26 Ayurvedic treatises were translated into the Mongolian language and published in 1742-1749. Since the $14^{th}$ century Mongols have been translating Tibetan Medical books into the Mongolian language, of which we have today found more than ten. Over the centuries, Mongolian scholars have written many commentaries to these medical texts.

The four walls of mural paintings in Afrasiab, Samarkand, have discovered: the indian-concept east wall, the west with the paintings of envoys from a number of countries bringing in King's letters or gifts, the south describing traditional ceremony celebrating the new year, the north with a picture of a Chinese princess on board beside hunting scenes. Overall, Sogdians in Afrasiab mural paintings of 7th century had following costume codes: a very short haircut or the Turkic queue, a rather-narrow-sleeved caftan with round-neck, a belt and boots. The west wall showed various costume style of a set of envoys from countries. First, a Turkic envoy had 3-6 rows of long plaits, wearing a caftan with two lapels and a belt - interestingly, Sogdian and Turkic nobles didn't wear pochettes. Second, a Chaganiyan had a hairband on his short hair, and his colorful round-neck caftan is decorated with animal-patterned medallions and a golden belt. Third, a Chach wore a jewelled hairband, putting gaiters on his pants. Forth, a Chinese was in putou with a round-neck caftan, and with a belt and sword around his waist. Lastly, also appeared a Koguryo envoy in white putou with a double-bird-feathered crown on top, wearing a long-sleeved yellow v-neck top, a belt, narrow-cuffed pants and boots. Identical to the Sogdian statues excavated in various regions of China are the appearance of big eyes and nose -similar to the warrior stone in Korea- a hairband, and a pochette down from the waist line. During this period, white and red were considered as prevailing colors for clothing: red and yellow among Turks. The costumes of characters in Afrasiab mural paintings were preferably made with the animal-patterned, sophiscated samite Zandanachi of Sogdiana.

최근 세계적으로 유라시아 대륙의 경제적 중요성이 부각되면서 동서를 연결하던 고대 교통로에 대한 연구의 필요성이 증대하고 있다. 국내 학계에서 유라시아 동서 문명 교섭에 대한 연구는 아직은 그다지 활발할 편이 아니지만 역사학, 고고학, 미술사, 민속학, 복식사 등 다양한 분야에서 꾸준히 연구를 진행시켜 왔다. 북방 초원길을 통한 교섭사는 한민족과 한국문화의 기원에 대한 관심에서 비롯되었는데, 몽골과 카자흐스탄지역의 유적에 대한 직접적인 조사가 꾸준히 이루어지면서 흉노, 쿠르간 문화 등으로 연구영역이 확장되고 있다. 사막과 오아시스의 길을 통한 교섭은 미술사 분야에서 연구를 주도해왔다. 이란, 우즈베키스탄, 아제르바이잔 등에 대한 현지조사가 다양한 경로를 통해 진행되면서 신라의 황금문화, 유리의 전래, 불교문화의 동전 등 다양한 주제에 대한 연구가 심화되고 있다. 바닷길에 대한 연구는 다른 분야에 비해 부진한 편이다. 동남아시아에 소재하는 불교와 힌두교 사원에 대한 관심은 적지 않았으나 이 유적들을 연결하는 바닷길의 복원과 그 의미에 대한 연구로 확산되어야 한다. 베트남의 돈 손 문화와 싸 후인 문화 유적을 국내 연구자들이 직접 조사하게 됨으로써 앞으로 이 분야 연구가 활성화될 것으로 기대된다. 앞으로는 한국사, 한국 문화와 직접 관련이 없는 주제에 대해서도 관심을 가져야 한다. 인류 공동의 문명을 연구하고 보존하는 것도 우리의 책임이기 때문이다.
