《格薩爾王傳》作為藏民族的一部英雄史詩，歷來被譽為瞭解藏文化的“百科全書＂。國內外許多前輩學者對該史詩進行了多角度、多方位的解讀並發表了堪稱豐碩的研究成果。本文以《格薩爾王傳．大食財寶宗》為研究對象，試圖從史詩的“史性＂和“詩性＂相結合的角度，分析該史詩部本中“大食＂一名的實際所指。筆者認為，《格薩爾王傳．大食財寶宗》中“大食＂並非指中亞的古阿拉伯帝國且該史詩部本也非史詩歌手在藏族“大食富國＂的固有觀念的基礎上肆意創編的史詩。經筆者的實地田野調查和文獻資料梳理，我認為史詩中的“大食＂或位於黃河上游、江河之源的青海省雜多縣境內。在該縣境內不僅有大量有關《格薩爾王傳•大食財寶宗》的地方風物和傳說，從語義學、藏族史籍和史詩內容等多角度出發都會把我們對“大食＂實際所指的理解從中亞的古阿拉伯帝國拉回到位於青藏高原腹地的雜多縣。筆者認為《格薩爾王傳•大食財寶宗》就是以地處黃河上游、江河之源的雪山草原為地理原型進行創編鋪陳的，史詩的內容也有其現實的自然人文基礎。
As a great composition of Tibetan oral tradition, the epic of king Gesar is honored as a encyclopedia of Tibetan culture. the experts and scholars at home and abroad have done lots of research from different aspects and angels of the epic and have published fruitful research results. By absorbing and integrating the previous research results, this thesis take the most famous war story between Stag-Gzig and Gling in King Gesar epic as the research object and basis on the ＂historic character＂ and ＂poetic feature＂ which are the two aspects of epic's attributes to figure out the specific place of the country ＂Stag-Gzig＂ which mentioned in the epic. I consider, the country which be called ＂Stag-Gzig＂ in King Gesar epic probably neither refers to the ancient Arab Empire in Central Asia nor relates to the fixed idea of ＂rich Stag-Gzig＂ in Tibetan concept which may have absorbed and practiced in oral epic tradition by Tibetan epic singer。By doing my fieldwork and heckling literature material, I consider that Stag-Gzig where the other researchers believed that it refers to the ancient Arab Empire in Central Asia is a misunderstanding. According to my work, ＂Stag-Gzig＂, acuturely can be located in the upper reaches of the Yellow River and to be more specific, ＂Stag-Gzig＂ is a ancient tribal nations where people in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau believe is the source of rivers and the source of yak, according to the depicts in the epic and refer to the linguistic analysis methods, the ancient tribal nation called ＂Stag-Gzig＂, according to the present administrative division in china, may located in Za Duo county Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Qinghai province, the very important plot in the King Gesar epic of the war between Stag-Gzig and Gling is based on the natural and humanistic environment in Za Duo county where has a lot remains and legend that relate to Stag-Gzig
