【摘要】中亚帖木儿朝与明朝之间的贡赐贸易以绢马交易为大宗。除马匹外，帖木儿朝还进贡宝石和珍禽异兽，并因此得到明朝统治者的喜爱，进而得到优厚的赏赐。不过，明朝对奢侈品所需毕竟有限。成化、弘治年间，帖木儿朝所进狮子甚至遭到明臣的非议。另一方面，明朝的丝绸、绢布和瓷器则是帖木儿朝人需要的生活必需品。贡赐贸易是维持帖木儿朝与明朝频繁往来的物质基础。

Abstract：This article discusses tributes and rewards. The exchange between silk and horses was largely carried out between the two countries. Luxurious goods, as precious stones and rare birds and unusual beasts tributed by the Timurids were welcome by the Ming emperors, but the need was finite. The lion-tribute from the Timurids were even reproached by the Ming’s ministers during Cheng Hua and Hong Zhi periods.
