经行记

《经行记》，是唐代杜环被俘往中亚后，回唐所写的经历记录。

唐玄宗天宝十年七月（公元751年）右羽林大将军高仙芝亲率蕃、汉兵数万进攻大食爆发怛逻斯之战（战于今哈萨克斯坦江布尔城附近），唐朝战败，此役“士卒死亡略尽，所余才千余人”。杜环成为唐军俘虏的一员。杜环在中亚、西亚及地中海等大食占据的地区停留十多年。更可能是曾到达摩洛哥的中国人。

唐代宗宝应元年（公元762年）杜环等人被准许回国，杜环附商船由海路返回广州，将他的游历见闻著作成书。杜环是《通典》作者杜佑的族子；杜佑在《通典》中有如下记载：“族子环随镇西节度使高仙芝西征，天宝十载至西海，宝应初因贾商船舶自广州而回，著《经行记》。”

此书原本书籍已经遗失。但其族叔杜佑在《通典》卷191《西戎总序》，及卷193《大食传》、《边防典》中曾经引述部分内容。

The Jingxingji (Chinese: 经行记; pinyin: Jīngxíngjì; Wade–Giles: Chinghsingchi; literally "Record of Travels") was a now lost journey book written by Du Huan shortly after he returned to China in 762 from the Abbasid Caliphate. Only about 1,511 words are being preserved under the Tongdian. It recorded about thirteen main countries, and a separated book was later published by Wang Guowei under the title of Guxingji Jiaolu from this source. Other parallel quotes can also be found from the Imperial Readings of the Taiping Era, Taiping Huanyuji, Tongzhi and Tongkao.

In 1866, a section with regard to the Byzantine Empire of the texts was being translated into English by Henry Yule. Since then, a few of the scholars such as Hirth (1885), Chavannes (1903), Shiratori (1904), Rockhill (1911) and Pelliot (1904 and 1929) carry on the translation and excerpt from the portion of the texts into their works. The texts has overall been held in high regard among the early Chinese scholars such as Zhang Xinglang, Feng Chengjun, Xiang Da and Bai Shouyi.
